Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Review (Spoiler Free)

This time around we’ve got an anime with a real novel concept.

A boy from Japan is unexpectedly transported to a fantasy world!!

So how did this one turn out?

Meikyuu Black Company Review (Spoiler Free)

Next up on the review block is Meikyuu Black Company.

Like the last few, it’s a fantasy / isekai title. Basically all I’ve been watching lately. It’s been fun to binge all of these, and there are still more to come.

When I’m done, at a casual glance, this place will look like an isekai anime blog!

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Review (Spoiler Free)

It’s time for another fantasy / isekai review from last season.

This time, it’s How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom.

An anime that sort of spoils itself via the title, but I’ll refrain from any spoilers anyways as you technically don’t know how the kingdom is rebuilt, right?

Seirei Gensouki / Spirit Chronicles Review (Spoiler Free)

Let’s check out another fantasy anime from last season – Spirit Chronicles.

As a big fan of the fantasy genre, isekai or not, I gave this and several others from last season a watch. Which was a good change from all of the re-watching I’d been doing previously. That, and I’m always happy to watch a fantasy anime, in most cases.

So how was this one?

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! /Combatants Will Be Dispatched! Review (Spoiler Free)

Here’s an anime that was on my radar after hearing that the story was written by the same person who wrote Konosuba! Didn’t need much else beyond that.

As always, I’ll try to best share my thoughts without spoiling anything.

Darker than Black Review (Spoiler Free)

It’s time for another review to go up on the fridge.

And as has been the usual lately, it’s another rewatch – this time, it’s Darker Than Black.

Teasing Master Takagi-san (Eps 4-6)

After all this time, I’ve gotten through to episode 6 of Teasing Master Takagi-san!

Man, Nishikata just makes this anime so difficult to watch. He’s just obtuse to levels I feel like shouldn’t be possible, and his pettiness knows no bounds. The only thing going for him is his ability to get over his constant defeats without too much issue.

Anyways, like last time I’ll try to throw in a little commentary here regarding Japan based on what I saw in these three episodes. And like last time, I watched these with no subtitles, only using my dictionary every once in a while.

Some More Unexpected Aspects of Living in Japan

I’ve been living here in rural Nagano Prefecture for the last year and a half, so I have to say that I feel like I’ve adapted to quite a bit since I first came to Japan.

When I first arrived to Japan, in Tokyo, just the streets, cars, buildings, etc. were foreign enough to make me want to take pictures of basically everything I laid my eyes on. I’ve definitely gotten past that, at least. The mountains here still catch my eyes all the time though, so I’m glad to say that I haven’t gotten over them.

Like some of my other posts, here are some more things that I didn’t know I’d have to deal with when I moved to Japan.

Summer in Japan 2021

Last year in the summer I went on a good road trip with a few friends through Nagano Prefecture.

This year, I didn’t get up to as much, but I’ve realized that I did do a few things that I can share. So that’s what I’ll do.

REOL – LUVORATORRRRRY!

This is the first REOL song I heard on YouTube, that eventually led me to 宵々古今.
Other than these two, I haven’t really looked much into REOL’s other songs.

But I probably will at some point, because these two songs are pretty fun.
