Mezashite in the news!

Or at least on Polygon. A few months ago I did an interview with a freelance journalist named Soleil Ho (just the perfect name, don’t you think?), and it’s finally been published. Check out her take on the state of anime subs in the modern age.

Aikatsu Friends! – 037

This reminds me of a scene from long ago

Merry Friends Christmas! What a year it’s been, and what excitement is still yet to come. I would watch this without any expectations, because above all else, the one single thing I wanted most is still here. We’ll see you next week again for what looks to be a very special New Year’s episode, so enjoy the holiday!

Aikatsu Friends! – 035

Sakuya and Kaguya’s winter coats are the best this season

This is all a very good fun episode about divination. And I realized that I may too be blessed by the moon, as it seems one of my song translations maps onto this episode’s plot nicely. Let’s just hope it only works forwards, and I don’t have to remember anything from my embarrassing past.

Aikatsu Friends! – 034

I love you Charuuu!

Whoa, suddenly Narita Yoshimi out of nowhere back to do a Friends episode! What an incredible job she did with all of the adult characters, displaying Aine and Mio’s development that lead to the result of the Best Friends Cup, and weaving in a theme that is at once both blindingly obvious yet subtly painted in. It’s good on first watch, but the true depth hit me only after watching again closely. Let’s all aim to make a million friends!

Aikatsu Friends! – 033

This, the episode

This year for Thanksgiving, I was grateful for this episode, and all of you watching it with me. Every little bit of it was fun and heartwarming, and the conclusion fulfilled me from the inside out. I also have a minor comment on the trials if you were as confused as I was for one of them, which I’ll put after the break.
