tobipa & anime

main information genre: gag comedy, iyashi-kei, childcare, slice of life season: spring 2020 number of seasons & episodes: 1 season, 12 episodes myanimelist / anilist this post contains spoilers of its ending i love sayounara zetsubou-sensei , and that's how i discovered about kakushigoto as both are created by the same author/mangaka kumeta kouji. i also checked out the ovas of katte ni kaizou , but that was kind of a miss to me, as i was not born in that generation to understand its humour. nevertheless, i decided to give kakushigoto a try as it's a more recent work of kumeta that i would probably enjoy myself more... and also because the main guy is basically a clone of zetsubou-sensei (even the cv is also kamiya hiroshi). kakushigoto goes through a struggling manga author, gotou kakushi (a pun of the show's title, which also means "something to hide" in japanese), whose mangas are known for containing a lot of dirty jokes, hence tries to hide his manga...

this post only discusses the web predecessor to the manga working!! that is set in another restaurant of the same name with another group of characters. the blog post to the main working!! series can be found here . this post also contains spoilers , so please read at your own discretion. main information: genre: comedy, slice of life, workplace (restaurant), romance season: fall 2016 number of seasons & episodes: 1 season, 13 episodes myanimelist / anilist   to the ones who are confused with the titles, www.working!! is based on the initial version of the manga that was published on web, until square enix reached out to the author and asked them to post on their magazine, which later became the main working!! series and got animated first in 2010~2015 with 3 seasons. the web version (i.e. this post) is usually called the cat-group while the magazine version is called the dog-group in order to distinguish the 2 versions of the same manga. both versions don't have any rela...

  this post does not go through www.working!! , the predecessor of the original manga of working!! , where it is set in another restaurant with the same name with completely different characters. it will be discussed in another individual post once i have completed it. this post, however, does contain spoilers of the later seasons of working!! . please read at your own discretion. main information: genre: slice of life, comedy, romance, workplace (restaurant) season: spring 2010 (s1), fall 2011 (s2), summer 2015 (s3) number of seasons & episodes: 3 seasons, 13 episodes each + 1 45-minute ending episode myanimelist / anilist   it's always fun to see a group of ensemble cast being in the same environment and see how well their chemistry goes. but for some reason, when the ensemble cast has members from both genders, they just HAVE to include some romance to one or more pairings. i guess this is also why i would avoid the romance genre unless the whole story goes around the...

  main information: genre: gag comedy, slice of life, cute girls doing cute things season: summer 2019 number of seasons & episodes: 1 season, 12 episodes myanimelist / anilist   this post contains light spoilers i am not necessarily a fan of the cute girls doing cute things (cgdct) genre, but it usually heavily depends on the content and theme of the show, as quite a number of them are simply showing "hey we just drew a bunch of cute girls because we can" that would get boring after a few episodes in my opinion. plus there is a whole manga magazine dedicated to this genre (manga time kirara), so honestly unless it has a really attractive premise then normally i would skip a cgdct show. wasteful days of high school girls gives me a refreshed feeling of how i feel about cgdct. i've already heard that this show is basically the female version of the 2012 daily lives of high school boys , as i pretty much enjoyed the former, so maybe i would like wasteful days of high ...

a full list of all anime aired in the fall 2022 season can be found here: https://www.livechart.me/fall-2022/all . introduction fall 2022 was... a really impressive season that will probably not be forgotten at least within 2023. a ton of big names in recent anime can be found in this season, and there were also some really unexpectedly good ones popping up from nowhere as well.  ever since i started following seasonal anime releases in spring 2022, starting from watching 10+ anime per season, somehow in fall 2022 the number increased to 21 lol... and there are also 7 of them that will continue air in winter 2023, so good luck to me, i guess. this post will only cover the ones that i have watched in the past season, so don't ask me "where tf is bleach?22?" because i didn't even watch the 300+ episodes before the thousand year blood war arc aired in fall 2022, or just anything that i did not list out in this post. THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS so please read them at your...

this blog post goes through the list on https://www.livechart.me/winter-2023/all . introduction after going through the amazing fall 2022, i.e. battle of all the big anime names in the current anime world, we are going to start 2023 by a full season of ...isekai. there's almost like 70 anime in total set to be aired in january 2023, and there are already 20+ of them are either isekai and/or narou-kei light novel adaptations. i was following 20+ new anime releases in fall 2022, that when i first looked at winter 2023 i thought i could take a bit of rest, yet after some counting there's still 20 of them that i find interesting? i can't believe in myself lol. btw i'm an anime only, so i usually only judge a work by looking at its pv and/or cast and decide if i want to give it a try. i will also avoid all sorts of spoilers so please pay attention to that as well. so let's jump into it. *this list does not count ongoing airing works from fall 2022 or before, only the one...

(i know a lot of people like daily life of highschool boys as well, while it was a fun watch to me, but i just didn't enjoy it as much as the 2 mentioned above)  you and me goes through the daily lives of 4 high school boys, twin brothers asaba yuuta (cv uchiyama kouki) & asaba yuuki (cv kimura ryouhei), as well as tsukahara kaname (cv ono yuuki) and matsuoka shun (cv toyonaga toshiyuki) who have been friends since kindergarten. one day, japanese-german ta...
