"Consider, can the universe be justifiably called infinite? Doubtful. It may not have a discernible end, but it had a beginning and its component parts definitely have a limited cosmological shelf-life. Splitting hairs or not, if history tells us anything, it's that scientists often make very poor poets. We're all just a ship of fools chasing phantoms, heedless of what really underwrites natural law." – Okabe Rintaro
Honestly, because of how much material there was in the Light Novels, I was expecting this series to go on for at least a 24-episode run, so I was quite surprised when it ended with only 12. And those 12 episodes definitely managed to get through a lot more of the story than I was …

Touya and the gang are back for more shenanigans! Once again, the show delivers a wonderful blend of tropes from our typical Isekai/Harem genre shows that either give a toned down take on that trope, or totally blow it out of the water with something absurd and ridiculous, all while keeping an adorable but innocent …

Oh man, guys, here we are back again with another couple episodes of In Another World With My Smartphone. These episodes were both thoroughly better than the last two, in my opinion, especially Episode 9. However, i'd like to point out something that I really enjoy about this show, and it's that it can do …

I have, i'm sorry to say, a small complaint that is starting to bug me, about this show. I've read I think 5 volumes of the Light Novels now, and while they are still keeping me entertained, the show is starting to wear a bit thin on me. It just feels like the novels have …

Oh man, this show is so fun to watch. Episode 4 tosses Touya into a great deal of mayhem as he goes to visit the duke, only to learn that the King has been poisoned! Touya and the Duke rush to the castle, where they find the King bedridden, and nobody in the court can …

Anyone else love the little mini-scenes we get on the episode breaks? They're always so adorable and fun, I think they are a great addition to the show. I also love the dynamic between Touya and the girls. It's not just a unilateral harem of girls doting on a guy, they're genuinely good friends, they …

Boom! another episode, another addition to the harem. Seriously. It's ok though, because Yae is adorable. This show takes a very relaxed approach to the tropes and themes we're used to seeing from our typical LN anime. The action is short and pretty toned down, lots of cute girls but no real raunchy fanservice, bad …

Yay, another light novel anime! This time it's one that i've been following for a while, actually, meaning I actually own several volumes of it. Basically, Mochizuki Touya dies after God mistakenly drops a lightning bolt on top of him. In return, God offers to reincarnate Touya into another world, as well as give him …

Spring 2017 was a fantastic season, with some truly great shows, and a surprising lack of extremely bad ones. And looking at the currently released lineup of shows for the Summer 2017 season, i'm feeling pretty hopeful as well! Let's just all hope that we can keep up the momentum and get another great season! …
