It feels like it’s been ages since we’ve gotten a proper Mikan-focused episode (except for the extended cockroach-killing sketch from last week, but that hardly counts). With summer vacation officially over for our girls, it’s Mikan’s time to officially begin her tenure as Momo and Shamiko’s classmate. The results are, as you probably all expected, … Read more
After writing itself into a thematic briar patch, Heroines Run the Show makes a dash towards a happy conclusion, but it can’t help stumbling over the nettles. On the surface, this is a pleasant ending that wraps up a confrontational final arc on a high note that leaves everyone in a better place than where … Read more

How would you rate episode 12 ofHealer Girl ? Community score: 4.4 Well, that finale sure did sneak up on me. Maybe that’s my fault for not double-checking how many episodes this season would have, but in my defense, it’s a bold move to have your final episode involve splitting up the central cast and … Read more
How would you rate episode 11 ofHealer Girl ? Community score: 4.2 With the new goal of becoming C-Rank Healers before them, it’s sink-or-swim time for our trio of heroines – literally. Well, figuratively literally. Sort of. I dunno. The point is, when they’re conjuring their Healing images, our girls suddenly find themselves interrupted by … Read more
If you had told me ten weeks ago that the penultimate episode of Heroines Run the Show would end in a bloody punchout, I’d have been mighty incredulous. Yet here we are. Given the incredibly knotted circumstances, it feels like the most appropriate note to go out on too. This is a very strange installment … Read more
“The Ancestor’s Dojo?! Demonkind’s Ultimate Weapon!” is the kind of episode that reminds of tasting a bite of the lightest cotton candy fluff imaginable (in a good way!). It’s sweet, colorful, and it doesn’t even bother pretending to be a work of great substance or story importance. The little fragments of plot we do get … Read more
Dark Peach has returned! While the reappearance of our (and Shamiko’s) favorite Momo Variant is undoubtedly a welcome one, it isn’t actually great news for the magical girl herself, since the unchecked levels of magic power she completely expends in Dark Mode are enough to drain her energy . Thus, the first half of “Pitch-Black … Read more
Embroiled in a salacious scandal born from photographed high-fives, Hiyori and her two large idol sons navigate the treacherous tabloid waters and bail out with solutions that prove to be both tidy and messy. As I discussed last week, this is a thorny subject with tendrils in a lot of different topics, including online fandom … Read more
How would you rate episode 10 ofHealer Girl ? Community score: 4.4 It’s fair to say that, among our main girls, Hibiki’s kind of been the weak link. Sure, she works alright in a group dynamic as a supportive force for the more chaotic personalities to flit around, but her only real focus episode amounted … Read more
