Perfect example "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" but with an anime/manga character. And boy did they nail it. Hopefully next week's episode will be somewhere other than the warehouses. It's taken a long time to get out of there. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

Grand Blue shifting gears this week to focus more on the diving aspect of the series. The drunk antics are fun but it's always nice to have some meaningful interactions among the characters themselves. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

And the myth of a reincarnated Ishtar has been born. Nice to see Yuri working to prove herself in this society that may otherwise dismiss her contributions. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

Not sure who was saying A Witch's Life in Mongol "romanticized slavery" but I'm hoping they reconsider after this week's episode. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

We might have gained some new faces, but Chojumaru is back to his normal antics this week. The horses he's riding must have nerves of steel not to spook at the close calls. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

If you're a fan of anime series, you may have started picking up some of the vocabulary. We're here to share some of that vocabulary with you in our fifth installment of this series. Be sure to check it out! tinyurl.com/mrx5m9b9 #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Was wondering where/how the title of the series would come into play. Having adults try to help the next generation learn from their personal experiences can be helpful, although Yasumi might be too invested already. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

Grand Blue Dreaming came back swinging with all the same wild faces and reaction shots. And the same Iori/Kohei who never learn anything from their plans constantly going awry. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2026anime

This is both such a good place and such a terrible place to leave the season. Grateful that we're getting the next season later this year. Everyone except Yota seems discouraged and unsure of what to do now. Can't wait to see how they tackle it. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

Our latest post is live! Check out a packed sub-genre guide this week on historical series. Some of them are about to premiere during this season, so you can add them to your current watch list. Enjoy! tinyurl.com/59fnpm2v #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Nippon Sangoku has concluded, showcasing the twists and turns right to the very end. Would love to see more of this in the future and see what battles of wits and strategy the characters encounter on this long road to peace. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

Still some weird pacing in this series overall. Learning about other perspectives/cultures is important, but only if you can do it in one day. Not sure what the last episode will look like as a whole but we'll find out. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

We're taking a break from Japanese animation this week to share some popular donghua series (Chinese animation). Be sure to check it out and let us know if you'd like to see more posts like this in the future! tinyurl.com/vfuj3ejs #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

No matter the odds they face, Gero is going to find a way to come out on top so that he can continue pursuing his dream. Of course, it still seems like an uphill battle. Can the others lend their skills too? Guess we'll find out next week! #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

What a clapback. Misumi is not to be messed with, and everyone is going to know it after tonight. But...there's no telling how his proposal is going to land and what he'll have to do to make it happen. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

Our latest post has gone live! This week is another sub-genre guide dedicated to medical series. Somewhere between mystery and dramas, these informative series are in a world of their own. Check out some of our recommendations here: tinyurl.com/ycxk8vx7 #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

When the red eyes come out, you know you're about to be in trouble. The mystery of Mao and his other apprentices continues this week. What will we find out next week? #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

Our latest post is live! This week is all about the summer festival - that magical event that pops up all over anime and manga series. Learn more about it with us this week: tinyurl.com/yv9zyz7u #anime #blog #animeblog #informational

I hope Arashiyama comes out of this either stronger or with more faith in herself as a member of a Family. Her powers may not be on par with others, but there are certainly things only she can do. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

That's a big vote of confidence coming from Koguma. Hopefully Akane can do all of her supporters proud in the competition final. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

Nippon Sangoku hits again with another dramatic twist this week. No idea what will happen week to week and loving every second of it. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

A good reminder to everyone that sometimes, resetting by taking care of/dealing with nature can be soothing in its own way. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

It's time for our latest post. Due to a scheduling change, this week is our first official mid-season check-in. We hope you enjoy our thoughts on the current season so far. tinyurl.com/2drhr8hc #anime #blog #animeblog #blogpost

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our post for this week will have to be rescheduled. Instead, we'll be sharing our first-ever mid-season review as a blog post. We hope you're excited for that. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

Nice to see some of the Masters are more down to earth compared to the last few. And gotta love that they already appreciate Kinosaki for the work he's putting in to help Gero. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime

"Pick him up" like he just went over for a sleepover is a wild thing to say. This week's backstory on Asa was informative. Hopefully, we will learn a bit more next week, maybe about the parents or the village itself. #anime #blog #animeblog #spring2026anime
