No-Rin | 12 Episodes | DUB | VRV Final Verdict: It's a bit unrealistic but entertaining. No-Rin is an anime about a popstar who moves to the county. It's a pretty simple premise, but in a strange way, it works. Ringo is a former pop star idol who retires to go to school in the…

I’d Rather Review | Wagnaria!!
Wagnaria!! | 40 Episodes | SUB | VRV Final Verdict: This was the kind anime I haven't seen in a while and it was so refreshing to watch. Wagnaria is what I would consider to be a true slice of life anime. The characters are interesting and relatable, but still wacky and unique. The situations…
I’d Rather Binge Everything | August 2018
This past month, I've watched a couple different anime. If you listen to our podcast, you'll have heard me mention these at least once before, but I never got around to do a full review of any of them – my bad. So, instead of trying to make a bunch of tiny posts about them,…

Alice & Zoroku | 24 Episodes | DUB | VRV "Old man Zoroku would prefer a quiet life, but even he can’t turn away when an escaped test subject ends up in his care. Sana’s ability to materialize anything may seem like a gift, but first she must learn to use her powers responsibly." The…
I’d Rather Review | Gosick
Gosick | 24 Episodes | DUB | VRV Final Verdict: I absolutely adored every second of this anime and it was a wonderful journey from beginning to end. In case you missed my initial reaction to the first episode you should check that out first. I was worried at first that the rest of the…
I’d Rather Review | Barakamon
Barakamon | 12 Episodes | DUB | VRV Final Verdict: It's a good story about coming of age that isn't directed at high schoolers. I really enjoyed it. This story follows the story of Handa. He is a young calligrapher living in the heart of Japan. From the very beginning, we get the vibe that…
I’d Rather Review | Mysterious Girlfriend X
Mysterious Girlfriend X | 13 Episodes | SUB | VRV Verdict: Really weird, kind of gross, but very amusing and sweet, but also slightly confusing. Mysterious Girlfriend X is easily one of the strangest anime I've seen in a while. It's about a boy named Tsubaki who sits next to the new girl who just…

I’d Rather Review | Orange
Orange| 13 Episodes | DUB | VRV Verdict: Sad, confusing, but thought-provoking in its own way. When I first started watching Orange, I wasn't expecting it to be the emotional roller coaster drop that it was. It started out like most Slice of Life anime do. There was a high school, a girl, and then…
I’d Rather Review | XXXHolic
XXXHolic| 24 Episodes | DUB | VRV Verdict: It's interesting but it won't rock your world. When I first started watching XXXHolic, the first thing I noticed was the intro music. I usually don't think very highly of first episodes with intros, but this one did a good job with it. The intro was catchy…
