The Relaxing World of Tanaka-Kun is Always Listless
It’s hard to see exactly why slice of life, a genre that is merely a series of realistic events without a significant “plot”, seems to be appealing to so many.

Why Bofuri is so fun (the Anti Darwin’s game)
Bofuri fails to be what many would consider a good show. In fact, it does have a lot of elements that I, myself, along with many others criticize in other fantasy (game) shows like this for being. The unexplainable game mechanics that make the game broken like any of Maple’s skill, replaceable, boring and boring … Continue reading Why Bofuri is so fun (the Anti Darwin’s game)
