How I Assign Ratings

comment on this

If you’re that mythical regular reader of mine then you might notice the title of this post is a bit intentionally contradictorily worded. About a year and a half ago I wrote a piece on exactly the opposite stance. So am I flip-flopping harder than a presidential candidate in October?

Let’s talk about tolerance. I don’t mean the hippy world-peace kind, I’m talking biology and chemistry level tolerance. The body and mind’s resistance, natural or learned, to changes in mental or physical state due to… okay, you get the idea.

Anime Review: Anne Happy

Anne Happy title/logoContinuing in my recent trend of reviewing mediocre anime, I’d like to bring your attention to the next waste of time series.

Anime Review: Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!

comment on this

NakaImo title/logoDo you like your harem shows with some semblance of a plot? Well step right up and take a gander at our next contestant! It’s got the gaggle of assorted flavors girls who all have the exact same body except for breast size, height, and hair style. There’s the tomboy one, the kind flustered one, the prissy rich one, the ditzy one, the one with a weird business (lolicon cafe)… wait, I feel like that last one is just obvious comic relief. But anyway, this time our required-milquetoast-lead boy is rich! And his dad suddenly dies! And he’s gonna need to take over the company soon but wait! There’s the possibility his dad had an illegitimate daughter at some point! Scandalous! He needs to figure out who it could be before he starts dating for a company wife because it’ll be a disaster if he accidentally kisses his sister! It’s edge of your pantsu pseudo-incest — your favorite!
