There is this island off the coast of Japan where worlds collide. Beasts and gods seem to coexist, beauty and life overflows from every corner. At first glance, one could think an island like this is paradise. And that is why the Shogun believes that the elixir of life is somewhere on that island. However,…
This was the first post I ever wrote for OWLS. For those of you not familiar, that was a blogger group I was a part of. In any case, I have always really liked this post but not many people got a chance to see it. In light of the tragic death of Kentaro Miura…
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as much webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
Genre: Comedy, Action, Sci-Fi, Urban Fantasy Episodes: 12 Studio: MAPPA Ok, you know what this show is too crazy for anything fancy. I’m just going to spell it out like I’m a toddler. There’s this guy named Caiman and he has a lizard head except it’s because someone practised magic n him and…
Genre : Comedy, Ecchi, Slice of Death, Supernatural Episodes: 8 season 1 and 4 season 2 Studio: High school is a confusing age for a young man when his thoughts turn to fancies and his body starts going all weird and stuff. We’ve all been there. Those moments when you start to realize some people…
Genre : Magical Girl; Fanservice; action; torment Episodes: 12 Studio: LIDENFILMS Thank goodness for Magical Girls! If it hadn’t been for the legendary 5, the world would have been lost to the invading forces three years ago. Now they can finally kick back and enjoy a normal high school life. Well earned, to say the…
Genre : Pure cool, Mystery, School Episodes: 13 Studio: Lerche Makoto is the luckiest kid in the world. Despite being generally unremarkable, he has just won a spot among the elites of his generation at the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy. However, things aren’t exactly as he expected them to be. For one, no one’s wearing…
I’ve mentioned this before, but I have never seen the Death Note anime. I tried once or twice but couldn’t really get passed the first two episodes. See, the Death Note manga is one of my favorites and somehow, I just couldn’t adjust to the little differences from how I had established it in my…
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 : 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 : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment The last few episodes of Megalobox really renewed my interest in the series. I was truly looking forward to this week and the resolution of that cliffhanger ending with the mob guy that looks like he could be a decent boxer too. I wasn’t too sure…
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Now that’s more like it. I’m not sure whether I should credit Mikio for Megalo Box’ recent return to form or the fact that these match centric episodes mostly cut out the kid, but this was another thoroughly enjoyable episode. I’m looking forward to seeing how…
If you haven’t seen school-live (Gakkou Gurashi!) Go away…. You can come back after you’ve watched it. I’m not mad or anything, I’m doing this for you!
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Another week, another good episode of Megalobox. I’m not going to lie, I was getting rather disenchanted by this series for a while there but these last few weeks have revived my enthusiasm for this show. I still think it’s occasionally overhyped and has a tendency…
