Giant Beasts of Ars Review: Dark Horse Anime of the Season
Directed by Akira Oguro Produced by Asahi Production Streaming on Hidive In my previous reviews, I may have granted too great a share of my attention for the influx of romantic comedies this winter season, because we have also been subject to a variety of top-tier fantasy anime. In the world of sequels, Bofuri and…

Buddy Daddies Review: The Netflix Adaptation of Spy x Family
Directed by Yoshiyuki Asai Produced by PA Works Streaming on Crunchyroll It is the nature of corporate media to notice trends and attempt to capitalize on them. After the success of Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney mistakenly believed that what the public demanded was not more charming action adventure movies, but more movies based on…

Ayakashi Triangle Review: Anime Was a Mistake
Directed by Noriaki Akitaya Produced by Connect Streaming on Crunchyroll I have defended ecchi anime about as often as I’ve criticized it. For every Food Wars and My Dress-Up Darling, there is a Seven Deadly Sins or a Classroom of the Elite. While fanservice can be used to enhance a story by embellishing existing romantic…

Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible Review: Mob Justice
Directed by Kazuomi Koga Produced by Pine Jam Streaming on Hidive It feels good to be vindicated. There’s a sense of euphoria that you experience when the anime adaptation of a manga you love captures everything that made the source material so special. Oh, dang it. Usually, I try to avoid spoiling whether or not…

Trigun Stampede Review: Three Guns, Three Dimensions
Directed by Kenji Mutou Produced by Orange Streaming on Crunchyroll I feel like the only guy in the world who hasn’t seen Trigun. That’s the thing about anime; while television, cinema, and literature have their respective canons of classics, there’s no list of what anime are essential. That’s not to say people haven’t tried, I’m…

Tomo-chan is a Girl Review: The Most Frustrating Anime This Season
Directed by Hitoshi Nanba Produced by Lay-Duce Streaming on Crunchyroll It is surprisingly difficult to find anime to review this season. Of the top ten anime airing this winter, seven are sequels: even considering the sequel-reliant nature of the anime industry in 2023, that’s a staggering number. Difficult to find new anime, yes, but not…

NieR:Automata Ver1.1a: Anime of the YoRHa Material
Directed by Ryouji Masuyama Produced by A1 Pictures Streaming on Crunchyroll Anime adaptations of video games have not gotten nearly as bad a rep as their live action film and television counterparts, and that’s for good reason. While it took us until Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog to get satisfactory silver screen portrayals of…

Sound! Euphonium is GARBAGE
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again; the word overrated is lazy. It is indicative of a person who is unwilling to analyze a story critically, but still wants to take a cheap potshot at it. Demon Slayer is beautifully animated but the story is derivative, so it’s overrated. Attack on Titan’s ending didn’t…

How I Became a Visual Novel Guy – Collar x Malice
When I last left you on my quest to become a visual novel guy, I gave up on Aokana before even completing one route. Turns out, taking an eroge and stripping all of the pornographic elements makes for a really boring game. Lesson learned. I would have to flip to the other direction, and enter…
