"Deji" Meets Girl

16bit Sensation: Another Layer
8 TV 13 A fun romp about making bishoujo games for the first half. Then it had one of the most ambitious developments I've ever seen with its social commentary about AI. Unlike Remake Our Life, the ending was positive and didn't leave a bitter taste. 07-09-24

A Place Further Than The Universe
7 TV 13 With a heavier approach, this show would've been an all-time great. Music was the show's largest weaknesses, as it didn't convey the grand adventure as well as it could have. But in the end, we're treated to a bit of everything, and it worked. 06-08-18

Butareba -The Story of a Man Who Turned into a Pig-
6 TV 12 What seemed like a degenerate isekai at first actually became a dark adventure with excellent characters, and is one of the few isekai with a heartfelt conclusion. A real shame the animation production went from poor to nonexistent near the end. 07-18-24

Fruits Basket 1st Season
4 TV 25 Source was from the 1990s and I felt it. Slice-of-life skits were dull and lacking in wit. There were flashes of good drama, but they were few and far between. Tohru was unrealistically perfect. Didn't care about the repeated rat/cat rivalry smack talk. 07-08-21
