My boyfriend said that Makoto Shinkai films are like Taylor Swift songs. Shinkai’s fixation on star-crossed lovers is similar to Swift’s breakup ballads. He said it wasn’t that great of an idea. I think he often undervalues how spot-on he can be about these things! @SakihataLily
Infinite Dendrogram #1
★★☆☆☆
Has A+ seiyū, practical action sequences (the likes of which are only seen in sports series), & one character is a bear with a WWII-style machine gun! Unfortunately, its story is muddy & characters are archetypal.

✍️ About Infantilization in Anime
Seen a lot of posts recently about people in the United States having an issue with the infantilization of women in anime. In my opinion… it isn’t much of an issue. The only real problem that I have with it is in visual novels—like Key’s Kanon.
Show by Rock!! Mashumairesh!! #1
★★☆☆☆
Not a very substantive beginning: bishōjos, music, but not much else. SBR’s point of entry was contrasting Cyan’s normal life to her magical adventures. This is nullified because Howan is a native to Sound Planet.

Runway de Waratte #1
★★☆☆☆
Studio Ezo'la caught my eye after the première of Happy Sugar Life. This show isn’t as kinetic in its energy level. The underdog characters are okay, but the scripting is bad. EP#2 tanked so, I dropped it like a hot potato.
