I now remeber just how harsh To Your Eternity can be. I think that because Fushi is immortal and can turn into other characters, at least physically, the writer feels ok with just massacaring everyone else. You just shouldn’t get attached to anyone. I had been lulled into a fals sense of security but I’m…
Alvin is a great adventurer. Great is sort of a relative term. But he is a veteran…rookie. Apparently, that exists. And he’ll impress you with how surprisingly weak he can be. But he’s not a bad guy. He tries hard at times and he really wants to be an adventurer. And now he finally has…
It turns out the official title of this episode is “Betrayed”. I swear I had already picked my post title when I saw it. It’s just that this episode was very specific and there’s little else you could call it. Except for maybe “Luck”. Buckle in, this episode was quite a ride!
Warp is a blonde boy with a hole in his belly, a hole in his memories, and maybe even a hole in his heart. He just doesn’t know who he is anymore or what he wants other than getting his memories back, maybe. And in a world where both bodies and experiences can be bought…
Well, they’re just rewriting all the rules in To Your Eternity all of a sudden. I’m not against it. It’s certainly ambitious to introduce so many paradigm-shifting ideas in the span of two episodes but it can be invigorating. This said it can also turn out to be a disaster if they don’t know how…
Hmmmm… I said it before, there is something about To Your Eternity that’s just different. The way it treats its characters, the way it acknowledges morality but never quite commits to anything, and the way it insists on the mundane horrors when the story is full of supernatural. And it doesn’t always stick the landing, but…
Hmmm. I’m perplexed. This season of To Your Eternity is not going in the direction I expected. If nothing else, I have to give it to this show for not bowing to convention. I’m not ready to say whether this is a good thing or not.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate this episode. In fact, I liked it in a lot of ways. I mean fat Fushi is one of my favorite sights and I want a keychain of him. But when it came time to find a title, the only word that came to mind was: useless. Also,…
Some of you may know that I reviewed the first season of To Your Eternity episodically. The links at the bottom of this post would probably have clued you in. So naturally, I wanted to continue for season 2. The first season of To Your Eternity was uneven. It had some great highs, a few…
Titles: Meikyuu Black Company, The Dungeon of Black Company Genre: Fantasy, isekai, adventure, venture capital, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: SILVER LINK. No matter where you go, it’s always the same. The rich get richer while the little guys get screwed. So you know what you have to do? Be one of the rich! At least…
Titles: Sakugan Labyrinth Marker, Sacks&Guns!!, Sakugan Genre: Science fiction, mecha, drama, adventure Episodes: 12 Studio: Satelight Memenpu is going to be a marker! Oh, by the way, the markers are the people who explore stuff. You know, they “mark it” on maps. That’s why we call them markers. Life can be kind of difficult in…
Titles: Log Horizon: Destruction of the Round Table Genre: Isekai, action, adventure, fantasy Episodes: 12 Studio: Studio DEEN It’s already been a year since it happened. Since that strange event trapped players of Elder Tales within the game. And a lot more has happened since. The round table managed to secure Akiba, turning it into…
Despite everything I wrote, I’m still buying physical manga. For example this first volume of Fairy Tale Battle Royale. You know one thing that’s really nice about having actual physical copies, aside from the no bleu light? It’s being able to lend them out to people. Lately, I’ve turned into something of a mini manga…
Titles: Tensura 2, Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 Genre: Fantasy, action, adventure, comedy Episodes: 24 Studio: 8-bit It’s not easy being a slime. Even a superpowered one. Just as Rimuru thought he could take it easy for a bit and let the Jura…
This is actually a review of both 20th Century Boys and 21st Century Boys but it made the title too long. Besides, as you will find out later, I’m not sure you can really consider there two separate series. Now some of you may have heard me say in the past that I tried to…
