This week we powered through the first three episodes of Kowloon Generic Romance. Sadly, we both came away feeling underwhelmed. The bones of a great show are there; I dig the aesthetic, KWC is a fascinating locale, and I love a good mystery. But the pacing and tone feel kind of wonky. The big reveals, if you can call them that, tend to be simply stated in the most uninteresting way possible.
Then we crawled through the backlog and ended up putting on Akiba Maid Wars. I had heard this was a fun show a while ago but never sat down to watch it. The first two episodes delivered pretty much exactly what I’d hoped. It’s absurd, hilarious and wildly violent.
I am of course still obsessed with Rock is a Lady’s Modesty. Very excited to see what kind of trouble the younger step sister is likely to cause in the near future.
I’d love an XI remake but it’s also scary to think about because of how I know it’d completely take over my life lol.
