This episode felt like it was meant to be one of the emotional high points of the series. It very much wasn’t. Continue reading “Between the Sky and Sea episode 9: Mehstival.”

Between the Sky and Sea episode 8: Crashing back down.
After the lukewarm excitement of last week’s space escapades things came tumbling back down to earth again this week. With the show having fulfilled its vague space fishing quota for a while we’re back to the individual character focus episodes again. This time it’s… Oh no. Continue reading “Between the Sky and Sea episode 8: Crashing back down.”
Between the Sky and Sea episode 7: Space!
In a wholly unexpected turn of events the gang finally made it into space this week. It was pretty anticlimactic.

Between the Sky and Sea episode 6: Still not in space
Week six and I’m starting to wonder if this lot will ever actually do any space fishing. On the plus side the show finally broke free from the Namino black hole; she only half started a fight this time!

Between the Sky and Sea episode 5: Questionable Life Decisions
Does that post title refer to the contents of the episode or my decision to keep blogging this thing? Why not both?! While not quite as utterly good will destroying as last week this episode’s trajectory didn’t change a whole lot really. On the plus side it saw the return of the show’s distinctive style of extremely inefficient problem solving, so that was fun at least.

Between the Sky and Sea episode 4: Going in circles
I’m going to level with you folks; this show isn’t very good. As much as I’m trying my best to give it a fair shake the anime seems determined to undermine any goodwill it manages to build, this episode in particular managed to throw that small level of positive feeling right out the window. With that said I’m committed to blogging this thing and I’ve finished far worse stuff out of sheer obstinacy before. So let’s talk about the episode.

Between the Sky and Sea episode 3: Accurate Portrayal of Gacha
Rolling and getting something entirely different from what you wanted is very much the quintessential mobage experience. Silly gacha things aside this episode actually covered a surprising amount of ground.

Between the Sky and Sea episode 2: No Space Fishing Occurs
After last week’s frenetic premiere, Between the Sky and Sea slowed down a little this week, taking some time to establish more character relationships and a clear early series goal for the cast. It still managed to be low key absurd though. Continue reading “Between the Sky and Sea episode 2: No Space Fishing Occurs”
Between the Sky and Sea episode 1: What?!
I’ve wanted to give episodic anime blogging a try for a while ago, but never find myself watching something that felt suited for it. But, since this season’s been kind enough to feature a show that feels right, it would be remiss of me to pass the opportunity up. So let’s get this train rolling and look at the first episode. Continue reading “Between the Sky and Sea episode 1: What?!”
Summer 2018 Shorts Roundup
Well that season sure flew by. It certainly doesn’t feel like I’ve gone another 3 months without writing anything.
This season’s shorts had one unusual thing in common. With a single exception everything was a sequel or a continuation. As such it’s a lot of “if you liked this already it’s still good” for the most part. But enough preamble. In the spirit of the swiftly passing season let’s get right down to it.
