Random Curiosity

「Ultraman」
“Ultraman”

It’s always a treat to see an origin story done well.

“True Colors”

There’s a lot in store for us. Of that I’m sure.

「世間知らず、王都に立つ」 (Sekanshirazu, outo ni tatsu)
“I Will Stand in the Royal Capital”

More fun than it has right to be.

「そうだイセカンダルいこう」 (Souda. Isekandaru ikou.)
“I know. Let’s go to Isekandar.”

It’s always a good idea to root for the loser.

「ヒーローの帰還」 (Hiirou no Kikan)
“The Hero’s Return”

Fake it until you make it.

「集結!カルテット」 (Shuuketsu! Karutetto)

Isekai crossovers, so hot right now.

「501発進します？」 (501 Hasshin Shimasu?)
“501st, Take Off?”

For the Strike Witches aficionados out there.

“Angels and Tengu Above the Shinjuku Skyline”

Love blooms in the most unlikely of places.

“Ash-covered Girl”

Show of hands – Who thought the Fairy Soldiers were actual fairies?

「拾人者(アングラー)」 (Jitsu Hito-sha (Anguraa))
“Angler”

A different beginning from the source, and probably better for it. Maybe. I dunno.

「残酷」 (Zankoku)
“Cruelty”

The premise has been swiftly laid out in this first banger episode.

「新入部員」 (Shin’nyuu buin)
“Newcomer”

Some series we like more than our head tells us we objectively should, and some less – and for me, Tomare is definitely the former.

「消滅」 (Shoumetsu)
“Disappear”

It’s hard being popular.

「天才と[X]は表裏一体である」 (Tensai to [x] wa Hyouri Ittaidearu)
“Genius and X are Two Sides of the Same Coin”

While the first few minutes didn’t do the show any favors, I have to admit that I found myself really liking what I was seeing by the end of the episode.

「五七五系女子」 (Go Nana Go-kei Joshi)
“The 5-7-5 Girl”

Si metrum non habet, non est poema.
