Kaiseki Anime Podcast Episode 027 – The Promised Neverland and Kemurikusa

With a season as packed as this winter, it’s sometimes hard to narrow down our choices to just a couple of shows every two weeks. Dramas like The Promised Neverland and kemurikusa are obvious winners with their dystopian settings and impressionable characters who so easily grip our hearts.

Winter 2018 Season Wrap: Violet Evergarden, Dagashi Kashi 2, Kokkoku, IDOLiSH7

We’ve finally made it to the end of my Winter 2018 Season Wrap—many thanks to those of you who stuck with me until now. I hope I didn’t save the worst for last! And if you just now jumped in, make sure to go back and check out my short reviews of other winter shows. I look forward to our discussion in the comments!

• Violet Evergarden
• Dagashi Kashi
• Kokkoku
• IDOLiSH7

Winter 2018 Season Wrap: After the Rain, March Comes in Like a Lion, Marchen Madchen, & Overlord II

These series brought me so much sadness and joy this season, most from excellent writing and one from an ending no creator ever wants to see.

• After the Rain
• March Comes in Like a Lion
• Märchen Mädchen
• Overlord II

Winter 2018 Season Wrap: Hakumei and Mikochi, Citrus, How to Keep a Mummy, & Garo: Vanishing Line

I hate to include Hakumei and Mikochi in this wrap, since I could keep on learning more about their lives for…well…forever. But here we are at the end, and all the better for it.

• Hakumei and Mikochi
• Citrus
• How to Keep a Mummy
• Garo: Vanishing Line

Winter 2018 Season Wrap: Mitsuboshi Colors, Takunomi, Slow Start, and The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done!

Part three of my winter wrap is here, complete with rampaging children, drunk advertisements, overly self-conscious high school students, and shogi that doesn’t focus enough on shogi.

• Mitsuboshi Colors
• Takunomi
• Slow Start
• The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done!

Winter 2018 Season Wrap: Takagi-san, A Place Further than the Universe, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, & Sanrio Boys

The winter show reviews just keep on coming, and again with a group of anime I’m sad to see go. My praise for A Place Further than the Universe should come as no surprise to those of you who know me or saw the anime for yourself, but know that I also happily recommend the rest in their individual categories.

• Skilled Teaser Takagi-san
• A Place Further than the Universe
• Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens
• Sanrio Boys

Winter 2018 Season Wrap: Laid-Back Camp, Magus Bride, Koizumi Loves Ramen, & School Babysitters

Now that I’m back stateside and everyone else has moved on to the spring season, it’s about time I start wrapping up the winter shows! I’ve got a lot to talk about this time around, so you can look forward to several more wraps to come after this one.

• Laid-Back Camp
• The Ancient Magus’ Bride
• Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles
• School Babysitters

Following Laid-Back Camp into Nature

It’d be a crime for me to allow the winter season to close without dedicating space to one of my favorites of the season, Laid-Back Camp. Along with A Place Further than the Universe, this show makes approaching the outdoors seem as natural as breathing. While the sites shown in the anime are real places in Japan, the characters’ attitudes towards camping will hopefully push viewers to explore similar activities close to home. I know it has certainly inspired me to re-evaluate my hesitation towards tents and off-season camping. My complaints suddenly seem small compared to the wide views seen by these girls.
