My Personal Reviews on Anime
Only god (and the manga readers, I suppose) could have seen it coming. This absolute powerhouse of an anime quickly rose right to the top of the charts. The reactions to the pilot were absolutely astonishing. In a matter of hours, all anime discussion on the internet turned into nothing but advertisements for My Dress-Up…

I‘ve often debated with my friends which story element should come first: the characters or the plot. As with anything, it will ultimately come down to personal preference, but, at least to me, there seems to be an easy way to gauge the impact media will have based on how strongly the audience can identify…

There are not many anime that compare to the crazy ride that is Fire Force. While I cannot say that it deserves top spot as an Anime of the Season or Anime of the Year, it is worth an honorable mention. It ticks a lot of important boxes for a memorable anime. It’s certainly popular,…

When I first started seriously watching anime, I had no idea where to begin. With so many choices and almost zero experience, I sought recommendations online from various larger anime personalities, eventually finding a list by ProZD.

Anime likes to explore the human psyche, and because it’s such a visual medium, it often does that in out-of-the-box ways since the only limitations are what you can draw on paper (and occasionally augment with some special effects). Things that might look silly when using real people can pass as totally believable in anime…

I like to think of myself as someone with pretty thick skin. Not in the sense that I’m an emotionless person who’s too manly to cry and devoid of empathy. What I mean is, it’s generally really hard to hurt my feelings. But I can’t lie on the internet (it’s the law), so I’ll be…
