My Personal Reviews on Anime
Has it really been a year since I started I Watched an Anime? It doesn’t quite feel like it’s been that long. A year ago today, I acted upon a whim and decided that I wanted a way to really remember the anime I was watching. I discovered that for some anime, I knew it…

The isekai pot has been boiling over for a long time in anime. High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World is yet another long winded entry into the sea of other anime with similarly long titles. Because the market is so saturated, you have to do a lot to make your story…

BEM started out as one of summer 2019’s more promising candidates.

Anime has a special talent for mixing the worlds of fantasy and reality. Among the anime that I’ve experienced so far (which I admit is limited), it’s rare to see an anime focused on the adult workforce that also brings the fantasy into the real world.
