We are now just one episode away from the grand finale (to my surprise). You can read all about my initial reaction to finding out that Granbelm was not a 12 episode series over on 100 Word Anime. I think penultimate episode are often tricky. You want to keep your best images for the last…
Oh no guys, it’s all coming to an end. It’s nigh, nigh I tell you! After this only one more episode of Given… One more Thursday night of coming home to sensitive boys with guitars to cheer me up and give me feels. One more week of looking forward to what happens next. One more…
I did a sort of mental adjustment when it comes to Fire Force. I go into more detail in my review over on 100 Word Anime. I think the thing that has helped my viewing experience the most is actively and wilfully ignoring certain elements. Normally I wouldn’t really bother with a series that I…
It hasn’t always been the smoothest ride but as the finish line becomes visible, I can’t say I’m not glad I stuck it out on the Granbelm journey. To know what I’m talking about, you can read my episode review over on 100 Word Anime. But part of the fun is also that Granbelm has…
My thoughts meander a lot on this show. It’s difficult to pin down. There are elements I love so much that occasionally they blind me to other stuff. I try to explain this a lot better in this week’s episode review over on 100 Word Anime. It doesn’t apply to the visuals though. There’s not…
I think I have never changed my mind about a series as often as I have about Granbelm. It’s been a wild ride indeed. To find out where I stand at the moment, feel free to go read my episode review over on 100 Word Anime. One this I can say here is that this…
Karandi and I don’t often agree on anime, so when we do, you know it’s special! Heck we even disagree on this week’s episode of Given. Not the big picture but the details vary. Want to see what I’m talking about, you can check out our review on 100 Word Anime. Given has solid but…
This week I couldn’t resist and made two different Fire Force gif. One day I’m just going to gif an entire episode and get a major copyright strike. I will have earned it! In the meantime, if you want to see the other gif I made this week, you can mosey on over to 100…
Granbelm has been quite a roller coaster for me. It does some things so well and others so not well. Let me tell you what I thought about this week’s episode over on Karandi’s blog. Even visually. I seem to be the only person that notices when the art quality dips down but it does….
Most shows falter at some point. When you think back on the series as a whole, you remember it as one big story that you love or hate or are indifferent to. But when you review it episode by episode you can see the ups and downs. Find those weak spots.Did Karandi and I finally…
I’m happy to say that I am not getting tired of the way Fire Force looks, i.e. great! It’s distinctive but familiar. The style looks great in action and can handle high speed movement without too much deformation. Heck even when it does get deformed, it just looks cool. I’m starting to get to know…
It’s a little late as I write this. I hope I will still have some good insights on the screencaps. I do think I manage to get my thoughts out on the story pretty well. You can judge for yourselves by going over to 100 Word Anime! Like I said in my episode review, I…
This season’s Given has allowed me to create some of my favourite gifs. It’s actually a lot more than a nifty gif source. In fact, Karandi and I are really getting into it.Who are we kidding? We’ve been into it for a while! And we talk about episode 7 over on 100 Word Anime. Maybe…
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…
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…
