Short Synopsis:<\/b> A young boy sets off on a journey through a fantasy world after memories of his past life awaken within him.<\/p>\n

Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> It\u2019s a bit sad, but the biggest thing holding Teogonia back has to be its production. The designs and what not are fine, but the whole thing moves like a half-assed powerpoint presentation. For a series built around combat, around the defense of a village against the endless hordes of monsters, that\u2019s a real problem. And I don\u2019t think the narrative is enough to overcome that, despite the early hints that the monsters aren\u2019t what they seem and that those in charge may not be as benevolent as they would have you believe. There are some bits here and there I\u2019m curious about, the \u201cflashbacks\u201d to our world, the use of magic, these little seeds filled with energy they eat to get stronger. There\u2019s bits and pieces here, hints, as to something interesting. But the way it\u2019s presented could make anything dull.

Short Synopsis:<\/b> A shy college student who loves to eat joins a fraudulent Food Culture Research Club on campus.<\/p>\n

Wooper:<\/b><\/span> HibiMeshi (or \u201cFood for the Soul,\u201d if you prefer the localized title) doesn\u2019t offer a whole lot to get excited about in its first episode. It\u2019s set at college rather than middle or high school, but the trademark P.A. Works character designs make the girls feel no different than any old extracurricular club-bound quartet. Several of them do have part-time jobs, which I\u2019d say is the show\u2019s best chance at building something concrete for itself, since their restaurant work ties into their food-focused circle. Jobs aside, all we\u2019ve got is yet another socially anxious protagonist who joins a club to push herself outside her comfort zone, along with sadly mediocre meal prep animation. That last item might be the real killer here, as food porn in anime has taken some huge strides over the years, and this show doesn\u2019t seem to have kept up. And it\u2019s explicitly about food, too \u2013 or it seems to be at first glance. The twist at the end of this premiere informs us that the Food Culture Research Club was created under false pretenses, as its founder simply wanted a dedicated space to goof off, but it seems obvious that the series will be a culinary one in some capacity. I mean, the opening scene sees the main character watching a video about a Hokkaido chicken ranch. As of right now, I\u2019m not sure what the point of that twist was, or why I ought to watch another episode of HibiMeshi other than its general pleasantness.

Short Synopsis:<\/b> Season 2 of Ranger Reject.<\/p>\n

Lenlo:<\/b><\/span> It\u2019s back and I\u2019m loving it. Ranger Reject ended the previous season on an awkward note, with a dead Keeper, an escaped Boss, and a mediocre exam arc, so I was a bit concerned about how this new season would go. Aside from the weird sister-complex though, as well as the annoying boob jokes, I was pleasantly surprised. I love getting to see the slowly collapsing\/fracturing Rangers, how the Keepers are falling apart due to interpersonal conflicts, and the confirmation that there are multiple Boss monsters still at large in the city. It feels like Ranger Reject is starting to expand its plot, like it\u2019s getting into the secrets of the setting now that D is finally in with the Rangers. Even the production has appeared to improve, with some good looking scenes both in and out of combat. All things considered, I\u2019m happy with Season 2, and I hope it\u2019s able to take this strong start and continue it for the rest of the season.
