Alright, I think we can make it official, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is really an exceptional horror-action anime. Whatever else it may be. Man, this episode made my skin crawl, all puns intended. We are going to get into all the creepy, dreadful and just plain sad details of episode 16 in just…
Do you like sensitive young men with guitars? If so, you have come to the right place. If not, why not take a look anyways? Who knows, you might change your mind! I let Karandi do most of the heavy lifting on our ep2 discussion of Given because I was horribly sick on Thursday. Thankfully…
the basic idea
We’ve all gotta go sometime and popular belief dictates that eventually, the entire species is going to go as well. We’ve all seen the cautionary tales, post-apocalyptic wastelands in which the last few humans wander desperately clinging to life under horrific circumstances. Brought down by our own hubris, greed and/or ignorance. The end of days…
Genre : Comedy, Slice of Life, School, Short Episodes: 12 Studio: Asahi Production There are exciting days ahead for Nori Kamitsuki. His high school career is about to get a lot livelier. Changing schools is already a challenge in and of itself, but moving to a whole new and little known prefecture makes it…
Genre : Supernatural, School, Mystery, maybe a bit of implied yuri? I dunno, I may just be starved for yuri lately… Length: 59 min Studio: ufotable Ahh to be 16, nubile and in love. Azaka certainly has everything a young girl could ask for. She’s beautiful, smart, imbued with magical abilities and has the bestest…
Fire Force really brought it this week. I gushed a little about it on Karandi’s blog. Not to mention that it’s just fantastic to look at. It’s a visual treat with some great directing on display. I’m impressed! Now that I know this was from the same author as Soul Eater, I wonder how I…
I’ve been meaning to write about the real-life authors that serve as namesakes for the Bungo Stray Dog characters for some time now and I will. I’m not quite sure how to tackle it yet. There’s a lot of material and fun little tidbits and Easter eggs I want to share. It’s a lot of…
The title sort of says it all. This week’s Granbelm was really not what I thought it would be at all, and I am thrilled about that. I go into the details of why exactly that is over on Karandi’s blog. Here, I go over cute girl screencaps. Both have their merits! By the way,…
Hi, and thanks for reading our collaboration review of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba episode 14, “Mount Natagumo.” I’ll be in standard text this week, and Irina from I Drink and Watch Anime will be in bold. We’re about to talk about an interesting episode — it took us from the depths of a controversy… via…
You know I can’t resist a screen cap gallery, especially one full of pretty characters. I’m only human guys! I must admit, I had very few expectations for the first episode of Given (or the show in general for that matter) but I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I talked it all over with with…
I will be updating you all on my blog scheduling changes for the summer season tomorrow but in the meantime, here’s first try at a brand new episode review template. I’m trying something to help me keep my thoughts focused and keep the posts from going out of control by adding headers… Let me know…
You know how once in a while an anime comes along that you just can’t quite gauge. You can easily imagine someone calling it a masterpiece or a piece of trash and both are just as justifiable. There are a few titles like that, where I seem to hear both extremes and I always find…
It’s no coincidence that one of the very first Japanese words I picked up by watching anime was: Sakura. Cherry trees are so ubiquitous and important to Japanese culture and identity that they even name girls after them! The breathtaking sight of cherry trees in full bloom, raining down soft petals on passersby is so…
This is should really be called: I want more short anime! There should be more short programs made each season. They are such nice little anime palette cleansers. Just a light snack to munch on. I really like being able to enjoy an entire series with minimal commitment. And of course, when you rely on…
