We are back with the second episode of one of the more unusual offerings this season: Mars Red. I have a feeling this is the type of show that manages to not be divisive by showing all its cards. Anyone who wasn’t on board with the stilted rhythm and muted storytelling was going to drop…
I’ve been waiting for To Your Eternity for.. well forever! It was first announced something like 3 seasons ago. But then, you know, the world kinda ended, and then I guess there were other delays. In any case, the show kept getting pushed back and pushed back. Now you would think that this would be…
Lately, I’ve been picking pretty niche subjects for my top 5 lists. So it’s been a while since I’ve run into this particular problem. What problem you might ask. The problem of having way too many options to pick from. Anime is a huge pantheon! There are Gods all over the place. Big strong powerful…
Titles: Joukamachi no Dandelion; Castle Town Dandelion Genre: Slice of Life, Comedy, School, Siblings, Super Powers, Fantasy Episodes: 12 Studio: Production IMS The Sakurada family are perfectly normal. Well no exactly, they do have 9 children and that’s a bit excessive. But those 9 children are just your average everyday siblings, except that their lives…
Ok, that title is clickbait. I baited you. I’m sorry. I don’t actually think the manga is always better than its adaptation. In fact, I’m one of the few people out there that tends to prefer the anime to the manga by default but that’s really not the norm. In general, you see manga readers…
I mentioned this in my Shadows House review but I’m not sure how many of you will read both so here we go again. I did a poll on Twitter asking people if I should review Shadows House, Pretty Boy Detective Club or both. And Pretty Boy Detective Club won in a landslide. Which was…
I asked on Twitter whether I should review Shadows House, Pretty Boy Detective Club or both. And Shadows House cam in dead last. But you know, I finished the first episode just a few minutes ago and I had to tell you guys about it. So I’m going to do some mini reviews. Or at…
Well, this is quite a hit of nostalgia for me. Here I am watching How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, a show I had enjoyed more than I expected to in its first season. But I’m also back doing episode reviews with Karandi. Always great to have a chat with you, K! Wait I…
This post is brought to you by Rachel of No Filler Anime: I may not always watch the most popular anime on the shelf, but I’m watching what intrigues me and I think that’s the beauty of anime – there’s something for everyone. I came to anime and manga late in the game. While I…
Titles: Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator; A Certain Scientific Accelerator Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, WHB, Zombie Mecha Episodes: 12 Studio: J.C. Staff; A.C.G.T. You would think that once you’ve been shot in the head and are stuck in the hospital for long term recovery, people would let you relax for like 5 minutes. But noOOOOOooo. Not only…
Well, Moya has been wondering where Horimiya would finally end since the last few episodes have felt like a finale. And the season ended exactly where it should have ended, at the end! Before we get into it, is there anything you would like to say, Moya? How was your week? Are you looking forward…
Mars Red had one of the more unusual anime premiers I’ve seen in recent years. In some ways it reminded me of Gankutsuou. Please see our full review over on 100 Word Anime. The Spring 2021 anime season is kicking off and that means Irina and I are getting back together for some episode reviews….
Believe it or not, this was one of the toughest lists for me to put together. First of all, I rarely read manga on an anime I’ve already seen and vice versa. I’m just too curious and impatient, so I have a tendency to want to discover new stories instead of adaptations. Also, I just…
The Samurai Flamenco incident was one of the most significant of our generation, yet many dismiss it as fiction. We set the record straight.
Titles: IDOLiSH7 2 Genre: Idol, comedy, mystery, music Episodes: 15 Studio: TROYCA Getting your career off the ground when you’re in a brand new idol group is not an easy feat. You have to practice day and night, get your name out there by doing media appearances and taking acting jobs. You have to be…
