Some anime I like! Two old classics, and one newer one I saw recently.

The Other Pokeauthors, Part 146
“Let me make it clear now that if you do CTRL+F, I only used an exclamation point ONCE, and that wasn’t even a combination with CAPS LOCK. I only use CAPS LOCK when I’m angry or want to prove a point. In this case, I wanted to prove a point. I was ARGUING, not SCREAMING. I’m not upset at all. I will be upset if you review my story again. If that happens, then I WILL BLOCK YOU. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.”
Most people were actually nice, though.

A lot of decent but not terribly remarkable stuff. Also, another fic of humans in pokemon costumes.

[28] The Other Pokereviews, Part 145
Some decent stuff today, including a pretty interesting anime AU where Ash is raised by Mewtwo. Most of the trainer fic also at least has nonstandard openings. There is, however, a lot of weirdness around pokemon treatment, including a heartwarming story about a guy using his brother’s ghost for dogfighting.

Calm today.
[21] The Other Pokereviews, Part 144
A cute Yueltide fic with delibird, and a really awesome opening about a shiny hunter tracking legendaries WHO GET “IT” PRONOUNS I’M SO HAPPY. Mostly just standard openings otherwise, including another entry into the reincarnation-through-Arceus subgenre.

“Hey, heard you’re a Poké bully to others. Not nice,you might not care but stop and grow up. Mind you’re own business and support not shame. Byyyeeeee. P. not stop until you stop”
For bonus points, this was an anonymous reviewer.

The Curious and the Shiny got a reboot! I unfortunately fell behind on the original, but the new version is looking great. There are a few good openings, otherwise.
Anime: 9
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 142
Some weirdly belated revenge reviews, and otherwise polite responses.
[23] The Other Pokereviews, Part 142
An interesting story playing on the replacement of Kris with Lyra. Some okayish openings otherwise.
Anime: 11, plus one manga fic.
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 141
In which the person whose story I harshly criticized engages reasonably and the person who shoved their story in the wrong category is enraged at my pointing this out.
[25] The Other Pokereviews, Part 141
One of those worldbuilding primers with “realistic” pokemon that I used as a jumping-off point to explore various possibilities. It was fun! Not much of note otherwise, though.

“The irrelevancy of this review lies in both the hypocritical correction of the fanfiction chapter and the multitude of similar reviews found in other chapters and fanfiction works.
The review section is best served as a discussion of chapter content, not a check for grammar or other similar actions that should be discussed either in private messaging or beta reviews, none of which I’ve demanded.
Please refrain from wasting from you and my time in mere grammatical controversies that none only do this site not require but also inapplicable to professional writers due to their personal style, contribution to plot, and other noncommercial intentions.”
[18] The Other Pokereviews, Part 140
Some interesting speculation into Ghetsis’ backstory and motivations, and a game novelization that actually looks decent. Lots of tiny first chapters that go nowhere, otherwise.
