Have you ever seen an anime so unbelievably adorable that you wish you could cuddle with it for hours on end? Well, there is no shortage of anime that gives off this sensation. The past decade has had no need for Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, or CGDCT for short, to over-saturation. Some have been good, bad, or entirely forgettable. Regardless of quality, they all follow the same formula even when they do a few unique tropes to the characters, narrative, or setting. The only way that I can consider one to be good is if the show manages to be fun to watch from an entertainment aspect and not if it does anything distinctive from other CGDCT anime. Thankfully, Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu, or Hitoribocchi, managed to perk my interest from the 1st episode onward.

It’s been a while. Five years. It sure baffles me that there are people who wanted more of Date A Live. After the disaster that was the 2nd season, I thought that people would reject it similarly to Infinite Stratos’ 2nd season that turned out so bad they only released two OVAs and nothing else afterward. Now we get the 3rd installment from none other than J.C. Staff. After I finished watching this, it was evident that they weren’t precisely giving this season to their A-team, if you get my drift.

Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! Review

In literature, there is a saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” There is another similar one in anime, “Don’t judge an anime by its first episode.” Some would argue more than that, but you get the idea. More often than not, the first episode in any anime does not always represent what you will be getting for the rest of the show. In recent years, anime studios would have the idea of making the first episode the most eye-catching or batshit crazy one of the rest. Then the rest of the episodes come off tepid or dull compared to the first one. Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita, shortened as WATATEN, fits as an example of this, although from a different result. It gets more fun and enjoyable from beginning to end.

Amaenaide yo!! Review

As a noted ecchi connoisseur, I always try to watch old ones that I never got the chance to see rather than wait for the two or three ecchi anime every season and pray they don’t suck. My experience started in the late 2000s with anime like Sora no Otoshimono and later To Love Ru seasons that morphed my obsession with this genre. I never fully experienced all ecchi before the 2010s except for a handful that many consider classics. This eventually led me to come across Amaneide yo randomly, or Ah My Buddha. After it was finished, I can safely say that this is not one that many would consider a classic.

When you look at something like Queen’s Blade Rebellion at face value, you do not immediately think “cash grab.” Or at least you hope to god that it is not. Then while you are watching it, it is very clear that the situation’s reality is clear; it is exactly what you feared it might be. A complete, nothing cash grab with no soul or style to speak of.
