I didn’t even know these episodes were up, but apparently they were, so I went and got both and I’ve just finished watching ‘em. And I gotta say, I unironically like ‘em. The key to these 2 episodes [...]

Foreshadowing! Also, way to go, Rolling Girls, using foreshadowing as a way to let a character say “I will do this at some point.” and then let said character do said thing. ‘Jumping the shark’ didn’t [...]

Speaking of spinning its wheels… Impressions: No less a mess than last week’s episode, making this arc at least consistent in its scattered, unfocused slapshod state of affairs. No, the five minute [...]

Helmets for everyone! Even the Koala bear.  Time for more wacky adventures with The Rolling Girls! One thing we forgot to mention on the recording is what the hell happened to Chiaya? At the [...]

So Royal Fried Chicken and Love Laika were preparing to make their debut as the stars rather than backup dancers. How did it go for both teams? I’ll also briefly mention what happened with my Rolling [...]

Only in Japanese series would a food-fight be something far more complicated than gradeschoolers throwing spaghetti at each other during lunchbreak. This time I review: Death Parade 05: The [...]

I felt kinda mixed on this episode of Rolling Girls, and it’s a little hard to describe why, because my biggest problem here was that the beats of this story just didn’t land in an emotional sense for [...]

I’ve talked about how it was hard to get a read on Rolling Girls based on the first and second eps. I mean, those eps were filled with energy and action, but they were holding off on the direction of [...]

I realized that in my last post a fortnight ago, I didn’t fully represent the position of people who like Rolling Girls. I neglected to mention that a lot of folks out there think the world is pretty [...]

The Rolling Girls’ next mission comes from a letter asking for help bringing peace to “Mie-Aichi”, also known as “Aichi-Mie”, a new country made up of those two very different prefectures united [...]

Steady… Steady… Steady… As mentioned, the Japanese broadcast was a bit delayed. This is… just quicker and easier for me. Even with all the errors.  Impressions: I think this arc may be even more of a [...]

A satisfying and ambiguous conclusion to a dark little episodic story. This time I review: Death Parade 04: Once again two people play for their fate in the afterlife. And the series continues to not [...]

From Union Creative comes the official announcement of a Moritomo Nozomi figure from The Rolling Girls, of which the anime adaption started airing the past month. The company shows the sculpt of the [...]

Rolling Girls performed a semi-smooth recovery this week. We didn’t return to the high-energy mania and glorious animation of the first two episodes, but at this point, I think that just isn’t what [...]

Being plopped in the middle of a whole new setting with an entirely different political system and set of customs was as overwhelming for me as it was for the Rolling Girls last week, which at times [...]

…Why did it grow legs? Impressions: Good god. Did we really spend the entire first half of the episode sitting around a table, chatting? Oh wait, then they excused themselves to make a phone call. [...]
