Top 5 Back to School Anime
I’m sorry guys but it’s going to happen. Sooner or later you’re going to have to go back. It’s not that bad really. There are lots of great things about school. I sure miss it! I would still be there if they would pay me… Ok, that applies to a lot of people. In any…

Fire Force Episode 6 – Flame Azalea – Gallery
I’ve been rather busy (but happy) over the past few weeks so I am not sure where the general public stands on Fire Force at the moment. You can follow my own thoughts on it over on Karandi’s blog. I have a fun time writing there. I watched the episode before a very long, and…

Granbelm Episode 7 – A Bog of Despair – Gallery
Narratively, Granbelm is going on a journey. It’s trying some stuff out. I talk about over on Karandi’s blog if you want to know what I mean! Production wise, I’m getting mixed messages. Occasionally it seems as if the budget has been stretched a little thin and visible dips in quality are starting to show…
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Episode 20: Playing House
Guys, have I told you how lucky I am to work with Crow? He is always supporting and incisive. I can count on him and it’s a big deal. For instance, I am way late with this review. I’ve been burning the candle at every possible end and then some, so after I watched Demon…
Given Episode 6 – Tritone – Gallery
For me, Given is well and truly on a roll. I have been living in fear of it getting painful or overly dramatic and it manages to be undeniably painful but in a pleasant way. That doesn’t make much sense, does it. I might explain it a little better in my episode review with Karandi….

The Garden of Sinners Chapter 8: Final Chapter (Except There are Two More Movies)
Genre : Supernatural, drama, psychological, romance Length: 33 minutes Studio: ufotable At some point, most people have asked themselves who they are. What exactly defines us as us.

Fire Force Episode 5 – Sisterhood – Gallery
Karandi and I are split on this anime. However, I’m the one reviewing it on 100 Word Anime right now so you can at least read my views on it right over here. I think one thing most people agree on is that Fire Force looks good. It has some of the best visuals I’ve…
Human Lost is Better in Concept than Execution
Genre : Sci Fi, thriller, action, CG Episodes: 1 movie Studio: POLYGON PICTURES Imagine a world where constant health worries are a thing of the past. Where the looming risk of hospital bills and expensive drugs simply doesn’t exist.

Granbelm Episode 6 – Suishou Rising – Gallery
I find that Granbelm has been on a bit of a slump these past two episodes. If you want to know exactly what I mean, I talked about it in more detail over on Karandi’s blog. Visually though, there’s also a bit of a loss in consistency and polish. I don’t know if it’s just…
