In our single review for the week, Allen takes a look at The Case Files of Young Kindaichi Returns. He's quite pleased with it.

Well, see you again.

Kokkuri-san, Kokkuri-san, if I call on you, will you spend twelve episodes making me feel (mostly) uncomfortable? Will you confront me with uninvited house guests and stampede me with jokes about bad people?

Allen also wants to know the future. Will it be like in Karen Senki, where the robot overlords have taken over? Will the future be made in three dimensional computer graphics and lots of hi-octane action scene shootouts? Will some things make no damn sense at all, yet be strangely appealing somehow?

Kokkuri-san, Kokkuri-san. Will we also return next week with more reviews? Will we also see you guys again then? Yes? Well, then....

Nick's review is about the pervert in question, and he is not happy about The Comic Artist and Assistants, mostly because it's a solid hint that someone out there is severely underestimating the patience of even the most benevolent tsundere.

So the creator of the show I reviewed -- or rather, the light novel it's been based on -- must've been thinking "Well, how about if I make MY male lead just a regular idiot instead", and lo and behold, the cumbersomely titled When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace becomes vastly more tolerable because of it. The title is also a total lie, because the characters in it would rather not have to depend on their powers, and the comedy works because it more often than not makes good on that promise.

And that's it for now. Next week, there'll be goofiness and unpleasantness afoot. Look forward to it.

For today's update, I revisit a strangely-titled Bee Train show, which Carlos had partially tackled several years back. I liked it more than he did, though it's still plenty flawed. And remember: "when it comes to mad constipation, there's nothing stronger!"

....ew.

Up next, Allen takes a look at last year's Gag series, Strange+, which he recommends as fun, mindless entertainment, albeit cautiously.

That's it for this week's venture into three-star entertainment. Having graduated from last week's two-star material, will next week's update continue the upward trend?

....in Stig's case, he at least breaks even, but in my case, no. Very much, absolutely, positively no. I may yet need some Madlax after all.
