Media Noms: Week 29 2026
July 13th - July 20th 2026
TV
- Does it Count if You Lose Your Innocence to an Android? | Nyan Pollution - Par excellence. The manga is properly horny and the drawing style is really solid. I will also say there is some very real commentary about what it means to be human and consent and all that. The anime less so. It’s mostly a quicktime horny fest. Which, isn’t a bad thing, but damn pacing for a 7 minute episode goes crazy.
- Young Ladies Don’y Play Fighting Games | Diomedéa - So far I’m liking the anime wayyyy better than the manga. If you’re a real fighting game nerd def check out the manga it does a lot more technical fighting stuff. The anime is more appealing if you’re into the romance/slice-of-life side of things.
