Last year I wrote about how Buddy Daddies had the most relatable anime man of 2023. This was because Rei Suwa was a professional hitman who, when he wasn’t on a mission, kept himself entertained with video games and comfortable sweatpants.

Related: Buddy Daddies Has Brought Us Anime's New Perfect Man As you can imagine from the title, Mr. Villain’s Day Off focuses on a villain who is set on world domination... but not when it’s his day off.

Welcome, readers, to Late to the Party , a column that's right on time when it comes to catching up on anime everyone's already watched. This column addresses a universal truth in regard to being an anime fan: an anime backlog is quite the powerful beast. Many of us have one, where we amass more and more content we have designated in the "planning to watch" category. How and why it takes so long to actually address this task varies from person to person, but the gratification of finally allocating the time is really quite splendid. Occasionally, it’s by watching a classic anime from yesteryear that you’ve had your eye on for quite some time. I’ve had today’s entry on my tentative watchlist for a while, and at long last, I’m ready to take the plunge. My dear readers, prepare yourself for the wonderful world of the horse girls.
