| 9:35pm | Bokura ga Ita Review - 87,5/100 | | | | I’ve got to stop dropping these boring-looking series without giving them a chance looking back at what I wrote on my first impression on this series, I realize what an idiot I’ve been, dropping this series in favour of Binbou Shimai Monogatari.

| 11:29am | Itazura na Kiss and the rationale of droppage | | | | My current watchlist looks like this. I think you’ll agree that longlist is looong - there are one or two that I’m following on DVD, or would be if finances permitted, but overall I’m balancing my time between a lot of unlicenced shows simultaneously in addition to full time employment... | | |

| 9:56pm | Itazura na Blassreiter Love Kurenai-Ru | | | | The spring anime season is well under way, my blogging, however, is not, haha. I guess this is the downside of heading into new seasons blindly, on one hand there are no expectations when viewing newly released series, but on the other, it leaves me with little idea of what to write about. But I suppose... | | |
