To borrow a thoroughly overused phrase: WTF did I just watch?

I keep saying this every post but oh my gosh, Sailor Moon Crystal is nearly over!

It seems no one in Ergastulum has an easy life.

After attending Anime-Expo for a handful of years, this year's convention definitely took me by surprise in more than a few ways.

First Impressions Series Introduction Sore ga Seiyuu!

Sore ga Seiyuu! – 01

By Stilts July 8, 2015

「アフレコ」 (Afureko)
"Recording"

This is probably the best---and funniest---show you weren't planning to watch. It's a seiyuu-specific Shirobako with tons of heartwarming laughs. I highly recommend it.

First Impressions Series Introduction To LOVE-Ru

To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd – 01

By Stilts July 7, 2015

「Unconsciously～頭ふわふわ☆心どきどき～」 (Unconsciously ~ Atama Fuwafuwa ☆ Kokoro Dokidoki ~)
"Unconsciously ~Light Head☆Beating Heart~"

The To LOVE-Ru anime is back, with all the classics: Rito being clumsy, Momo scheming, zany hilarity that doesn't effect the status quo, and intrusive whiteout censorship. Basically, it's another season that's telling us to buy the BDs, though the second half was hilarious.
