Winter 2022 – Schedule Change

Hi Friends! I hope you’ve been enjoying the onslaught of first impression reviews. I have been, too! So much so that if I don’t slow down a bit, I feel like I may completely burn out (and we don’t want that). So I’m planning to dial things back a bit for the rest of the week and resume operations this weekend. It looks like there are currently only about 8 or so series left to get through (excluding sequels and such, which I usually don’t write about officially), so we’re already almost in the home stretch!

Let me know below in the comments what, if anything, you’ve been enjoying so far this season (or maybe what you’re catching up with from previous seasons). I think I’ll use these couple of days to check out second episodes of Sabikui Bisco and Akebi’s Sailor Uniform, and maybe a few others.

Streaming: Funimation and Crunchyroll

Episodes: 12

When it’s finally finished and Komichi gets to try it on, it brings tears to her eyes – her dream is finally coming true.

Her world comes crashing down during the entrance ceremony, when Komichi learns that the uniform for the school changed to a blazer some years ago, making her the odd one out. Though she gets permission from the school principal to wear her uniform (since it was the school standard at one time and the principal seems to have some nostalgia for it), she struggles with how much attention her decision might potentially dump into her lap. But some unexpectedly wise words from her little sister convince her to keep wearing the uniform, and when the first day of school rolls around, it turns out that it might be the perfect icebreaker, as well as an opportunity to display Komichi’s strong will and integrity.
