The envoys are here! Ah so that’s the blondes from the op! They are definitely otherworldly beauties and have an air of exoticism to them. The one, Ayla I think? Is definitely sus though. Just what is she up to..

They say they’re western, but their escorts appear to wear Turkish clothing.. Maomao also referenced Dianna who was a Roman goddess. I wonder if they’re supposed to be Byzantine/eastern Roman Empire.

Oh my goodness THE MOON FAIRY DANCE was so good!!! Jinshi truly is the prettiest boy lol. That would’ve definitely been enough to topple even the strongest of nations. Good thing they kept it under wraps and only the envoys saw the performance! Jinshi is such a spoiled baby for wanting Maomao to dry his hair after lol I love them.

Uh oh, so Maomao technically been illegally making medicine this whole time.. of course right as Jinshi warns her to not let anyone find out.. someone finds out 😂 next episode should be fun.

I really really really love Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan/From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated. I am a sucker for all things villainess but this is just the cherry on top! I love the twists its done to the villainess and isekai genre.

I LOVE that he’s not dead and in a coma, he’s still connected to his first/original life. I like that he mentions and thinks of his first life. That there’s a chance he can go back to living his life as Kenzaburo Tondabayashi.

So often it feels like they just kill off the person and have them completely move on detached from the life and experience they lived as an excuse to make them op. Sometimes I wonder why not just have them be born in the fantasy world and just make them op?

I LOVE that it shows the perspective of his family! And that they can see what he’s doing AND CAN HELP HIM! I love that! I think that's such a unique and brilliant concept for this genre!

Usually with villainess manga the one reincarnated is a business woman/salary woman in her 20s or 30s so the fact he’s a middle age man is a fun twist. He acts like it too.

Also the elegance cheat is absolute gold!!

I really love this manga and the anime is doing a fantastic job recreating it! I was so excited for this week’s episode and I can barely contain myself for next week’s!

I hope to buy this manga soon (hopefully for my bday). I can easily say its one of my top favorite manga! I'm gonna reread the chapters available to tide me over until next week.

Also the opening and outro are peak

Damn, episode 5 was a tonal shift and a half but I’m so excited to see what happens next😁.

"But more than anything, the cat story allows for broad humor, as Jinshi finds himself drawn to it due to its likeness to Maomao. He’s unable to hide his affections. Maomao and Jinshi have a wonderful dynamic because it’s a push-pull relationship. Maomao still barely tolerates him, though. At least, she thinks as much. Because there’s marked improvement when looking back to their beginnings. She might not realize they’re friendly, but we do. While Jinshi is smitten with the apothecary, he’s also exasperated by her antics. His actual age and teenage angst come through the most when he’s with her. " Read full review here.

First Impression: Zenshu

Natsuko Hirose is a young hotshot animation director who skyrocketed to fame with her first production that was so relevant it became a cultural phenomenon. Her next series is set to take the world equally by storm—except that she’s suffering from writer’s animator’s block. Time is getting tight and her hair is getting long (she’s sworn an oath, Nazirite-style, not to cut it until she’s finished storyboarding), when, during a lunch break starring suspiciously colorful seafood, Natsuko collapses to the floor, choking, her face turning as iridescent as her ill-fated lunch. When she looks up, she’s in The Tale of Perishing, a failed anime from Natsuko’s childhood, and her single favorite work of art on account of its sheer incomprehensibility. Natsuko barely has any time to do herself and all otaku proud by geeking out appropriately over her surroundings and beloved cast, when the enemy strikes en masse, and a vital plot point—the critical death of the OG series—is set to unfold. But what can a lowly animator who looks like Cousin It in a purple hoodie do in such a scenario? It’s not like she has magical powers or anything…right? Right?! Wait, what is that in her pocket, glowing gently? An animator’s peg bar ruler?!? Queue transformation sequence montage!

AHHHH MY HATERS TO LOVERS SHIP IS SAILING FOR SURE!! Look how Luke looks at Natsuko man he’s so in love with her 😍 best episode yet. Natsuko finally realizing she can’t do everything by herself, planning the battle strategy with everyone and even getting justice back in the fight!! It only took 6 weeks, but they’re finally a team now. Huge milestone for Natsuko development.

YURIFICATION!! Natsuko and Memmeln crumbs?? So cute how Natsuko is still a Stan of all the characters in the show and wants to draw their faces lol. Luke’s reaction when she said she could draw all his expressions was so cute!

Justice overcoming her pain and damaged wing to help Natsuko in the fight was soo touching.

That unio kicking Luke scene was so dope. You can tell Mappa are having so much fun with this show and it comes through in all the character interactions and big fights. Nice to see them doing something besides WSJ shit.

Ending is toooo cute. Luke’s heart is unlocked. That confession coming soon

Zenshu is the New Anime to Watch for Winter 2025

This is a love letter to animation as a medium. It is beautifully made and a delight to watch. Burnt out and struggling anime director Hirose Natsuko dies and reawakens in the world of the film that made her fall in love with animation "A Tale of Perishing" a dark fantasy about a dying world that ends in tragedy, but through Natsuko's powers of animation, she can rewrite and reanimate the story.

So far, each of her animations that save the day have been icons of anime history, which I won't spoil here. Bit I will say I am so excited to see what she draws next!

Zenshu is so underated maaaan!!

From Bureaucrat to Villainess

This show has been giving us the warm fuzzies since ep 1. I couldn't figure out what sort of gifs I wanted to cut, so for some reason I decided on a low-effort knock-off of an old dota meme.

Winter 2025 Anime That I’m Watching

There are WAY too many on this list so I know I’m going to need to drop some 😂. It’s a funny lineup this season where there are a few I’m super psyched about and then a bunch of mediocre shows that all seem oddly similar 🤔
