Mixed Glories Don't Make For The Best Stories.
Allen takes a look at Kase-san and Morning Glories, which he finds... OK? It's sweet enough, but could probably stand to be a bit more than an hour long OAV, especially if we're talking a full relationship here. Still, it's decent enough, so maybe we could hope that it'll inspire a full TV series in the future?
And that's this week's contribution. Next week, we'll be taking a look at a rather strange exchange program. In a sense. See you all then.

Two Strikes. Three, and You're Out!
Allen watches the second season of My Happy Marriage, and finds it a little short on actual marriages. (At least insofar as the couple Allen wants to see married off.) It's still good, though. Shows could do well to feature people who are in an actual relationship starting out at least somewhat early in the show, and many do, so... maybe soon? Still good, though. And maybe that's what matters the most.
That's that, though. Next week, we're... going flowergazing? I think? Surely, titles do not lie, right? See you then.

Those Were the Days.
Allen takes a look at Sakamoto Days, and finds it pretty entertaining, but more importantly, fun. Which is certainly something to be said about a show centered around assassins.
And that's our lot once again. Not sure what will happen next week, it is one of the days of easter after all.

Three is a Magic Number.
So, who's been missing the good ol' classic love triangle drama? Well, Allen's here to give you a... uh, rather mediocre show that he doesn't really recommend all that much. Blue Box is simply not very good, and should probably remain unwatched unless you're really starving for some new love triangle drama.
At least things will improve next week, except maybe for the main character in that escapade. See you all then.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE... uh, Actually, I Think Everyone Expects the Catholic Inquisition In This One.
So yeah, Allen has a review for a fantastic show for us today. It's Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, which is a bit of an exaggeration of a historical character, sure, but that doesn't make the show any less great.
As for next week, we have one question for you... WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! See you all then.

The Show, The Show, The Show is on Fire!
I might have used that joke before, but Allen thinks The Fire Hunter is so bad it might as well have been on fire. The core issue seemingly being that the show wants to come across as deep or cynical, but ends up just being a tedious show where the characters in it are mostly assholes.
Thankfully, things will get so much better next week when we once again get a little creative with an interpretation of our own history -- and hey, that worked well for Vinland Saga too, right? See you all then.
