Angel's Anime Rating Guide

I saw the first episode of Seventh Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy and I was hooked... Rishe, the duke's daughter, is no stranger to reincarnation--it's her seventh life, after all. Each life restarts at her broken engagement. Having been a merchant, a maid, and a knight, she now desires leisure. But her world changes when a prince, who killed her in a past life, proposes! To prevent war and live to a ripe old age, she begins her seventh life as the bride of an enemy nation's prince. Rishe, our recently dumped ex-fiancé, flees the reception hall for a new life only to accidentally bump into the man who killed her in a previous life, Prince Arnold. Rishe has re-lived her life in different incarnations and this is the seventh time loop. In her haste to flee, Rishe makes a daring leap from a second-floor window with her former-future murderer watching in stunned surprise. Unbeknownst to Rishe, who survives the fall and walks away,...

I started watching KamiErabi God.App ... The ultimate battle royale for divinity has begun. High schoolers must use their unique powers to compete against each other for the coveted title God. But as each brawl becomes more vicious than the last, alliances are formed and betrayals take place. Who will emerge victorious and claim their godly throne? I'm not really a fan of the schoolyard battleground genre, but, I have dabbled a bit in the genre and have found some examples that were pretty good. I was hoping for something interesting, but, in my opinion, I wasn't really thrilled with this series. The animation style is reminiscent of one I've seen before, where the characters look less real than the environment they inhabit. Although, I will admit that the animation in the series was not as grating as it could have been. Animation style aside, I will also freely admit that there's definitely plenty of eye candy and red ink for those who enjoy this genre. I understand...

I thought I might like Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside ...

Life for Red becomes complicated when, events escalate as a drug epidemic, of all things, is spreading through the country and has even reached Red's remote village resulting in incidents of random violence and murder. Si...

I started watching Hotel Inhumans and it seemed like something I might enjoy... The best hotels must meet certain standards, including the finest cuisine, ways to relax, and entertainment. Of course, they also need the best selection of weapons, reliable ways to falsify one's identity, and ways to dispose of evidence. In this hotel at the border of death stand two concierges, Ikuro Hoshi and Sara Haizaki. What kinds of requests will the assassins have for them next? Join our stalwart hotel concierges as they serve members of the underworld to the best of their abilities. From a hitman's final arrangements, to a guest without memories, to a hitwoman's final meal and dealing with an attack on the hotel itself. These concierges offer top notch service to discerning clients with particular needs. There is plenty of red ink including gunshots and stabbings. Plenty of close quarters combat and some sniper work. There is just a little bit of skin, but, no naughty bits. Sara is m...

I waded out into the stream to see Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut ... Two world superpowers' space race spawns the Nosferatu Project. The goal: send a vampire to space before the first human flight. Human overseer Lev must train subject Irina in time for liftoff. Their shared passion for space will face the ego of nations! I've rarely met a vampire that I didn't like and Irina doesn't disappoint. We have vampires and cold-war era politics in a world not too different than our own. The great powers of this world have recently concluded a war and have turned their considerable efforts toward the conquest of space. The only problem is getting there. The eastern power, UZSR has taken the lead in spaceflight by successfully placing an unmanned satellite into orbit and by sending a dog into orbit. Meanwhile, in the west, the UKA's initial efforts resulted in a publicly humiliating explosion on the launch pad. But behind the UZSR's apparent public successes lie that f...

This convention report is very, very overdue. I was away from Blogger for a few years and I'm just now getting around to making a post. Sharp-eyed viewers will notice the same white DVD case used as a makeshift white background for my photos for some of my previous convention reports which were also way overdue. I did them all in one day. Moving On. Despite the complications that kept me away from Blogger for a while, I still made the time to go to Fan Expo 2026 on May 30th. As usual, I decided to be fashionably late to avoid the crush of people all clamoring to get in all at once, so, I arrived at 11:00am. Imagine my surprise when I find a line two blocks long and looping back on itself three times. To this day, I have no idea what happened to cause the delay, but, that was definitely a first. Amazingly, the line was cleared pretty quickly and I made my way to the convention floor before noon. Everyone was in good spirits. We were all happy to be there. I met a few p...

I had the opportunity to see My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered! ... When Yogiri Takatou and Tomochika Dannoura are transported into another world along with classmates, they seem to be left out when others are gifted with amazing superpowers and the chance to become Sages. Are they doomed to become dragon bait? Or could it be that they already have a few special abilities of their own from back home that no one is expecting? That would be extremely helpful, as there aren’t many people left they can trust, least of all their now power-mad former classmates and the Sages who supposedly defend this world in My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered! A bus full of students is suddenly transported to another world and a woman who identifies herself as Sage Sion appears before them. Sion quickly sorts the class into those with magical abilities, sage candidates, and those without. Sion and the newly christened sage candidates leave the other students to their fate, then a dragon ...
