Honestly, the show can be pretty damn enjoyable when it's engaging with the spy show premise instead of doing extremely phoned in found family shenanigans.

"sorry, sarah, but i can control time now" and "am i crazy?" "yes, kill yourself" are all-timer lines in cinema

Early 2000s trash at its finest. The beginning actually held up better than I expected, all the over-the-top fanservice aside, but the rest uhhhh sure did not. Akira/Takumi, however, is timeless.

Looked really nice and had a fairly charming cast, though the compressed nature of the adaptation showed in a few places and it never feels like it strays particularly far from all the familiar LN tropes.

Fantastic--a bit slow in places, but it feels like a deliberate choice to take its time rather than a pacing issue. Has an incredible sense of atmosphere (and makes full use of the medium to evoke it) and depicts a fascinating relationship between the two male leads.

Love a show that executes an incredibly dumb premise with unfaltering earnestness. Don't know if I'd recommend it to others but I'm glad I hopped on; this was an unexpected treat every week.

Maintains all the charm of the first season with an even greater focus on the aspects of the series I like the most. Amane was such a great addition to the cast!

The humor and character writing just don't land for me in a way that tends to grate on my nerves (except for Turbo Granny, who is perfect in every respect), but it won me back at the eleventh hour with the robot fight and Evil Eye's everything. Now THAT was insanely fun stuff.
