Re: Zero (Season 3) Episodes 65 and 66

It’s the end of Re: Zero Season 3. It was full of action and interesting characters, but in my mind, it wasn’t as good as season 2. My review for Re: Zero Season 3 will probably not be available for some time, since I’m very behind on writing reviews. But I doubt I will give it higher than 7/10 since it had so many moments that just didn’t reach me – like the story of Theresia.

Blue Exorcist: Blue Night Saga Episodes 10 to 12 Reviews

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I know this post is quite late, but I’m doing the best I can to catch up. Blue Exorcist: Blue Night Saga has truly impressed me this season. Though the early and middle parts of the season were my favorites, the last three episodes were great as well. I don’t have time to recap every event, so instead, these are just some thoughts on each episode that came to mind. Let’s review.

Spring 2025 Anime Episode Reviews Week 2

Greetings and thanks for visiting Anime Rants. I know this post is very late, but hopefully it will still be entertaining read. I am in a slump and haven’t felt like writing or being thoughtful much at all. Full disclosure: I wrote the first three entries below while stoned. Perhaps that will be more entertaining. I don’t plan to make it a habit, though. Here are some thoughts on week 2 of Black Butler Emerald Witch Arc, Kowloon Generic Romance, Lazarus, and Your Forma.

The Apothecary Diaries (S2) Episode 39 – Adorable Moments

The Apothecary Diaries (S2) Episode 39 – Adorable Moments

There were several adorable moments in this episode. As a series, The Apothecary Diaries does an excellent job balancing out dark and dramatic content with moments of joy, wonder, and cuteness. I think this episode is a good example of that tendency of the show’s writing. I haven’t read the manga, but I assume that the anime follows its writing closely, so we probably owe this narrative trend to the mangaka, Natsu Hyuuga. Then again, that’s just speculation.

The Apothecary Diaries Episode 40 Review – Disguises

The Apothecary Diaries Episode 40 Review – Disguises

Disguise was a key theme in this installment (season 2 episode 16). In a vague sense, we all wear masks to interact with others socially. And people like Maomao – who are probably on the Autism Spectrum – often mask their natural traits and try to act “normal” to fit in better. I think that’s why masks are the visual theme of the new opening song. Everyone has an outer persona that can hide parts of one’s true self.

Spring 2025 Anime Episode Reviews Week 4

Thank you for visiting Anime Rants. Today, we’re covering episode 4 of the following series: Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc, Kowloon Generic Romance, Lazarus, and Your Forma. I also want to watch Apocalypse Hotel and Once Upon a Witch’s Death, but I don’t have the time or attention span currently. I’m also very excited about Apothecary Diaries this spring. Besides that, my favorite so far is Lazarus. Now let’s get to the episode reviews.

The Apothecary Diaries Episode 41 Review – Pleasing Plants

The Apothecary Diaries Episode 41 Review – Pleasing Plants

Thanks for visiting Anime Rants. The Apothecary Diaries episode 41 – AKA season 2 episode 17 – was highly enjoyable as usual. Two different interesting plants were mentioned. This may seem random for an introduction topic, but I’m keenly interested in learning herbs and their historical uses. That’s part of why I started watching The Apothecary Diaries in the first place. So let’s briefly talk about silvervine and lantern plants before the episode review.
