Adachi to Shimamura – 07+08 [Please Choose the Best Chocolate for Me | The Briar that Weaves the Past: Old Rose]

Seems like Adashima has settled into a ‘festivities groove’ of sorts. Christmas, followed by New Year’s and then Valentine’s Day. These are the days which are becoming the highlights for our cast of adorkable schoolgirls.

And as a has-been schoolgirl myself, I can’t help but relate to that feeling.

Because, if you ask me, high school is overrated. Continue reading “Adachi to Shimamura – 07+08 [Please Choose the Best Chocolate for Me | The Briar that Weaves the Past: Old Rose]”

Oh, don’t mind me.

Adachi to Shimamura – 02 [Adachi Question]

Hello there, one and two and hopefully more. A pleasure to have you along with me, in watching and appreciating all these new anime Fall has ushered our way. I shall be your host this coming season and bring you coverage of a rather niche show which deserves an audience far greater than it’ll probably receive – Adashima!

To whoever it may concern, this show had the best premiere of the season for me and even though I saw somewhat greater potential in Kamisama ni Natta Hi (more on that later in the weekend), Adashima was the show that resonated with me on a stronger level. So, how did it follow up such an outstanding premiere? Let’s find out! Continue reading “Adachi to Shimamura – 02 [Adachi Question]”
