For this week I will be discussing the third season of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Not so much of a upgrade from the second one. Such a waste of a chance.

Would you believe me if I said the second season of Uma Musume Pretty Derby is irrevocably a massive improvement on the first one? Animation, music and script. All huge glow-ups, combined with a very emotional story, it's the best sequel one could ask for. Mentioned songs: Winning the soul - Tokai Teio(CV: Machico): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78wEqO-Nia0&list=RD78wEqO-Nia0&index=2...

You may have seen Umamusume in the App Store and streams but have you ever watched the anime? This week I will discuss the first season of Pretty Derby, a cute concoction of horse girls, idols and gacha games.

This week, to finish talking about Code Geass, I will discuss its canon spin-off. Akito the Exiled.

This week, I want to talk about Hatsune Miku's first theater appearance. Colorful Stage The Movie: A Miku who can't sing. An amazingly wholesome movie about music, passion and perseverance.

For this week, I will talk about something that has been rent free in my head for some time, Suicide Squad Isekai. A nightmare for my SEO and a pretty mid anime even though the studio is great and cast is awesome More of The Weeb Initiative: Full anime/manga list: https://myanimelist.net/profile/The_Weeb_Initiat Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPR1yBkKjeWfCnvX1s_ZycA Discord:  https://di...

Hello everyone! Happy new year! To start off with a bang I wanted to talk about what might as well be the top anime of the last few years if not the decade, Sousou no Frieren: Beyond journey's end. An absolute masterpiece in storytelling and character development. I hope you enjoy it!

A promising start, a successful anime adaptation and a really controversial ending. This week we will talk about Oshi no Ko. The darling series of the last two years that recently finished serialization with one of the endings of all time. I have a strong feeling my opinion does not conform to the general discourse around the ending and as such I would like to talk about it. Songs mentioned in the...

This week I will be talking about the second season of D4DJ, D4DJ All Mix. A strict improvement from the first season with better animation, more units, more songs and overall a really cute and wholesome style. If Bushiroad releases a new season of this, I'll be sure to enjoy it. Songs mentioned in the episode: D4DJ All Mix Opening - Maihime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmhZdlrJZNc&lis...

This week we will be discussing D4DJ, a somewhat niche "idol" anime focused on Eletronic music and slice of life antics, in contrast to your average idol story.

To finish reviewing all of Wake Up, Girls!, I will be talking about Wake Up, Girls! Shin Shou. Another example of why changing studios spells doom for most series, compounded with a general degradation of the animation and subpar 3DCG scenes.
