「始まりのさようなら」 (Hajimari no Sayounara)

A strong finish for our happy couple and I’m glad to have seen this relationship from beginning to end.

With the finale upon us, there were some good moments and some great moments.

「俺のココロ」 (Ore no Kokoro)
“Ore no Kokoro”
That was an ending that highlighted both this series’ charm, and its limitations.

Joukamachi no Dandelion – Anime Family Done (Mostly) Right
 |
|
Here’s the story, of a lovely family. |
Family is so often mined for drama, and siblings relationships have unique challenges in the anime medium. Joukamachi no Dandelion ended up dodging most of those issues, to give us a story as built around the theme of family as Uchouten Kazoku, but with a much fluffier, sillier, and more idealistic bent. It’s a good little show, if a touch uneven.

Wishing he was buying some of his favourite doujins. |
This may seem like an odd thing to say, but GATE is undoubtedly anime.
Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace – An Evocative Mess
 |
|
Kobayashi may be most out-there anime protagonist in recent years. |
How would I summarise Ranpo Kitan? Butterflies, blood, and blatant insensitivity.
