Comments

I know it's ten days later, but I just wanted to ping you and say that Erased is really, really good. It's not at all about what I thought it would be about, and the actual premise doesn't do justice to the quiet thoughtfulness and deep suspense of the show.

The other titles are still trash, though.

(Also I took your recs from one of your earlier comments about anime, and I think you have excellent taste, btw.)

I'll definitely add it to my list, then. (At the moment I've gone headfirst into Snow White with the Red Hair. I may not come up for air for some time.)
