Domestic Girlfriend (Series rating: 9/10)

High school boy Natsu is hopelessly in love with his teacher, the charming, beautiful and energetic Hina. He doesn’t really have a shot at her and he knows, so, being depressed, he agrees to go to a mixer with his friends. There he meets a young girl who’s the same age as him named Rui. Rui is quiet and a bit odd. What’s odder is that after the mixer she takes him to a love hotel and asks him to have sex with her. Reluctantly, he agrees, being still sad about Hina. Once the deed is done they part ways. Flash forward a few days and Natso’s dad gives him the big news: he’s finally remarrying. His new wife is a lovely woman indeed. And she’s also Hina’s mother. And Rui’s mother. But wait, there’s more: they will now all live together. Yup, Natsuo gets to live with his crush, who is now his step-sister, and with his step-sister that he just slept with. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh my… this was an absolute dumpster-fire and I loved every second of it. You don’t often get to see such a cluster-fuck but when you do you have to take it all in. Natsuo’s not really bad kid, he just occasionally makes bad decision. Hina’s the same, only her decisions seem worse. It’s something when the normal one is Rui, a girl who seems to uninterested in anything that you’d think she was a robot sometimes. Add in two more lovely girls for our boy to choose (?) and you have the making of a fake harem anime. It looks like a harem anime, it’s set up like a harem anime, but ultimately it is not. Seriously, if you love trashy romances, this is amazing. Also, uncensored boobies. Also also, the most accurate representation of sex between two inexperienced teens: completely awkward.
The source is the US BD release. The JP BD won’t be out till August. Maybe. Also added a few scans from the manga where the extra uncensored scenes were first shown. It’s just a few illustrations. But I think you’ll like them. Subs are PGS from the BDs.

Aquarion Logos (Series rating: 7/10)

Aeons ago the spoken language was the one who defined everything. It held so much meaning and power that a separate world was created to hold the meanings. But the birth of the written language changed the paradigm, and came in conflict with the spoken language. Now, an evil organization called NESTA is corrupting the meaning of words, trying to have the world tear itself apart. It’s up to the people of DEAVA to stop them by fighting off the corrupted words and giving them back their original meaning.

Even by Aquarion standards, this is a weird one. First off, this is completely unrelated to the previous 2 shows. Also this show bases a huge amount of plot on kanji. Yup, the people here are literally fighting with words. They add strokes to corrupted kanji to change their meaning and summon the representation of kanji to help them fight. But don’t worry, it’s just as sexually changed and horny as the rest of the franchise. The animation is pretty good but you might need some time to adjust to the character designs. They all look… squishy. They’re pretty fun though. Akira is pretty autistic if you ask me. I mean the actual condition. There’s no other way to explain him. Oh, and there’s NTR in this anime. The good kind, where the good guy steals the girl from the bad guy. That’s not even a spoiler, it starts in episode 1 and just keeps going.

High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World! (Series rating: 7/10)

A plane crashes in another world. Who was on the plane? Seven teenagers who just so happen to be the best X in the world, where X stands for: politician, inventor, journalist/ninja, magician, doctor, swordsman and businessman. Now they have to use their skills to bring peace to an fantasy land, as foretold by an ancient prophecy. Some might even find love. Or a family. Or might bring nuclear weaponry into the equivalent of Lord Of The Rings. Join them as they make the best out of a situation that could easily end their lives.

Oh boy, this was one hell of a ride. Now, I'm sure you've all heard this one before, so why should you bother, right? Well, this show with the stupidly long name does do some things right. And some things wrong. Most of the main characters are pretty one dimensional at first but do get some sort of growth. The problem is there's a huge discrepancy. See, while all of them do come form "our" world, some of them don't really belong there. You can group skills of the seven heroes in 3 categories:

1. Plausible if somewhat exagerated:
Tsukasa (the politician) and Masato (the businessman). Neither of them have any sort of super-human ability and use their wits to win their battles. Masato is by far the most entertaining of the 7 heroes, and his episodes were a delight. He gets a loli cat-girl as a sidekick after he saves her from slavery. Tsukasa is also interesting, but he's depicted as a Gary Stu in regards to doing the right thing. He gets an elf love interest.

2. Highly exagerated:
Ringo (the inventor) and Shinobu (the journalist/ninja). Both are implausible, with Shinobu being almost super-natural. The reason Shinobu is in this cattegory for me is that we don't really see her doing anything that borders on insanity in the show. She's extremely fast and accurate, as expected of someone who was trained as a ninja. Ringo's inventions are, for the most part, acceptable considering she has a portable nuclear reactor to work with. The nucaler reactor is a strech, but the purpose of the plate trip WAS to transport the thing, so I guess I can give it a pass.

3. Holy shit, these guys are straight out of a battle shounen:
Keine (the doctor) is basically Black Jack. She can do brain surgery with a saw. She starts off as a "normal" doctor but her feats keep getting more and more impossible as the show goes on. Aoi (the swordswoman) is basically Saber. She can run along side a missile and guide it. She was nuts from the start so there was really no surprise. Akatsuki (the magician) might as well have been from the fantasy world because he has actual magical powers. Illutionist my ass, this guy makes Kaito Kio looks like an amateur. He can somehow make his body invisible, leaving just a floating head. And he can fly, for some reason.

But a show is nothing without a good antagonist. And this show delivers: enter Gustav. It's Kotomie (same voice) but this time he's outwardly insane insted of holding it in. He steals every scene he is in because he is 101% insane and revels in it. The show's worth watching just for this guy. He's made of anger. At one point literally.

I had fun with this show. It's not original, it's not very clever and it's not very well animated. But it's a fun watch. If you want more isekai goodness, you could do a hell of a lot worse then this. Just... shorten the names, for the love of god.

Di Gi Charat PGS Subtitles For Ohys-Raws (Series rating: 8/10)

Attention please: these are just the PGS subtitles to use with the BD raws by Ohys-Raws found here:
https://nyaa.si/view/1248211
https://nyaa.si/view/1248186


Di Gi Charat, or Dejiko, as she likes to be called, has landed in Japan. With her are her little sister Petit Charat (Puchiko) and a floating ball named Genma. And now they are homeless. So Dejiko and friends need to work at a Gamers to earn their free room. Problem is Dejiko is a little shit and would much rather Laser Eye her problems away.

Dejiko was adopted as the mascot of the Gamers stores. A cute, but bratty cat-girl who can shoot lasers from her eyes. The show does not make much sense, but is very enjoyable especially if you are aware of otaku trivia. Winter Garden is a spin-off. It shows Dejiko and Puchiko as regular girls. In spite of what the BD said, this is not a complete collection as it is missing the movie, the special of that movie and the Piyoko OVA. Might upload those myself. Enjoy.

Conception (Series rating: 5/10)

Hey, buddy? How’d you like to be isekai’d into a fantasy world where you have to defeat an evil entity by romancing 12 maidens who give you power by having your babies all the while being helped by an extremely horny tanuki while your cousin, who’s also one of the maidens, tries to keep you to herself?

So yeah, Itsuki gets summoned as the hero of a world, needs to date 12 maidens, including your cousin. Does this sound like a lewd fest? Well, it’s not. It’s not actual babies that you need, it’s STAR babies. Basically small summons that the maidens can create if they have enough affection for you. This show is not an ecchi show, it’s more of a gentle slice-of-life comedy with some fighting in it. It’s amusing, but don’t expect too much. Mana’s the best girl though. That is not debatable.

This was made from the R1 BDs so it includes both soft subs and pgs subs.

Azur Lane (Series rating: 7/10)

Azur Lane: an unlikely alliance between the four major naval powers of the world, made to fight off the alien forces called the Sirens. But once the Sirens were defeated, a rift formed in the alliance. Now, they battle between themselves to have supremacy of the seas. But are the Sirens really defeated? Oh, and they fight with ship-girls.

Based on the Chinese game, this anime has anthropomorphised ships fighting. And they are all cute/hot anime girls. What's not to love? In all seriousness, the story is a bit of a mess, with it switching from slice-of-life with Javelin, Laffey and (sometimes) Unicorn goofing off and trying to bring Ayanami to their side, to war-is-hell with Enterprise fighting off Sakura Empire while dealing with PTSD. The animation is sometimes lackluster. But we get uncensored boobies in episode 6, so that's a win.

Guess who is back


Yeah... I just can't stay away. I said I was retiring for good. I wanted to retire for good. I guess I'm like those abuse victims that always go back to the abuser. Why the hell do I even miss uploading stuff anyway? There's literally nothing in it for me. There is definitely something wrong with my brain. Oh well... you guys should start taking bets for when I "retire forever" again.

PS: No, I don't just "retire" and come back for the attention. I'm just f-ing nuts, apparently.
