I knew it! I knew I could predict the future! Kinda, sorta, if you squint…. Maybe time leap machines are really quite common but no one has Reading Steiner? I’m just seeing echoes of a future past? I should reuse that line, it’s completely wasted in this silly preamble.
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff On Monday, I posted a Harukana review that I did with Matt in which I went on at length about the particular obstacles of an episode ‘2’. None of my readers picked up on that at all but I liked it. I think it applies for…
Time has always been a very fluid construct in fiction. Once you’re no longer bound by time, it can become suddenly very difficult to keep linear timelines straight! This week Steins;Gate 0 yet again played with time and just a little with our minds. Although only two weeks have actually gone by since the last…
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff Have I used that as a title before? I feel like every single episode review for every single show, I’ve ever written could have been titled this way. I’ve been trying hard to destroy my blog under pretense of renovating it and as a result I…
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I was actually not that inspired by the shows this season, which is actually a good thing seeing as I am desperately backlogged in my anime watching. However, one of the few titles that caught my eye early on was Angels of Death and after seeing…
You know it just wouldn’t be Steins;Gate if someone didn’t loose it. In fact, I’m pretty surprised at how well everyone’s been keeping it together so far. However, now that Kagari has regained some of her childhood memories, she seems adamant to regress right back to said childhood. And why not, she’s earned her breakdown….
Do you want to hear something really interesting? Apparently, Alzheimer’s doesn’t erode memories of music. The studies on the subject are still rather recent so the mechanisms behind it all remain mysterious. As you can imagine this finding has renewed interest in MEAMs or Music-Evoked Autobiographical Memories. The moments we associate to music stay anchored…
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment As the season is winding down we’re getting some unbalanced weeks. For instance, Grancrest is over but I haven’t picked anything to replace it yet so you’re getting my Megalo Box episode review a little early this week. I’ll also be back a bit later in…
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Just when I thought I was out…they drag me back into the BL speculation. If you don’t want us to get the wrong idea maybe don’t have Yuri break up with his girlfriend over Joe. Then get all warm and fuzzy with his ex’s brother in…
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures All things considered I guess this was exactly how this show would end…
At some point, excitement hits a point of diminishing returns. Any good narrative needs to know when to take a little break and give the audience a chance to breathe. Or else, little by little, consequences start to loose their impact and you risk making viewers Jared and too exhausted to care.
Cactus Matt and I wrap up our joint watch of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Apparently he’s sti talking to me…I’m as amazed as you guys are! Also this week TWIST: I’m in bold! Keeping you guys on your toes.
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Last episode ended on possibly the best cliffhanger we’ve seen from Megalo box (I’ve been hanging off cliffs all season…) and I was genuinely curious to see what Joe would do. He’s still essentially a brick, by that I mean a narrative foundation with no significant…
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I had to actually look up how many episodes A Record of Grancrest War is slotted for because I cannot see how they are going to just wrap things up next week. Admittedly it wouldn’t be out of character for this series to just stop mid…
I think I may finally have gotten that filler episode I’ve been clamoring for. Steins;Gate 0 took a deep breath this week and just sort of chilled. We didn’t get any major revelations or action sequences, instead the show took a little time to indulge in some silliness, some light-hearted humour and some dubious fan…
