within the span of a month, my dad died and i started a new job. that ended up 1. derailing the second half of my year and 2. ruining my ability to sit through a TV show.

despite everything, here’s what i did manage to sit through:

august 2022 - february 2023 catch up

august

haven't watched anything

see you next month bye
 

howdy y’all! my name’s walker and I’m gonna be taking over the newsletter as a special guest host this month while leah is swamped with starting a new job and etc. everything will be back to normal next month, which is good because I’m not nearly as good at having ~opinions~.

june 2022 recap

that time I got reincarnated as a slime season 1 (fall 2018 - spring 2019)

fantasy, isekai, comedy

In 2014, ABC aired a single season of the fantasy-themed reality competition show The Quest. It was essentially Survivor but LARP; challenges, medals, and eliminations ("banishments") with a scripted high fantasy storyline set in the kingdom of Everealm. Naturally, I was the only person who watched this show, and it was never renewed.

Until May 2022, when a new season unceremoniously dropped on Disney+, now starring teens! Unfortunately, The Quest (2022) sucks, but isn't it nice to know that Disney will reanimate literally any corpse in their vault?

may 2022 recap

nobunaga concerto (summer 2014)

Unfortunately, I have made the mistake of reading a Daiya no Ace fanfic and I am once again in baseball hell. Luckily, I couldn't make it through even two episodes of a rewatch, so y'all won't have to suffer through a review.

april 2022 recap

Hello and welcome to my newsletter.

before we get started

• I don't watch anything twice.
• These recaps will be a mix of current season anime and older stuff, basically whatever I watched during the month.
• Takedowns of actual garbage are reserved for real life conversations.

Moving on:
