It’s a week of improvement in the anime world, as the good series remain good, and the poor ones struggle all the way up to mediocre. Can this upward trend continue, or will it all go downhill again soon? Either way, some new series should be joining us soon when the summer season gets underway. [...]

This week in anime, action takes a backseat to sitting and talking, or in the more daring of cases, standing and talking.

Keroro is not pleased with the state of the summer season. After the sparseness of last week, everything seems to have returned in full force in readiness for the Round-Up’s one month anniversary. In light of all the drops of previous weeks, I’ve picked up a number of new series on the anime front, although [...]

Episodes 1-3 Many thanks to Hinano for alerting me to the existence of this series. I wasn’t going to do much more than write a paragraph about this for my Weekly Round Up, but after realising that a) this series needs more attention and b) I need an excuse to show off screencaps and talk [...]
