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…
Read MoreDemon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
While you obviously can’t predict how any anime is going to turn out just based on the pilot, this is a far cry from the review that I expected to write for Demon Slayer. It’s not that I hated it; with everything said and done, it’s still one of my favorite anime to come out…
Read MoreASTRA LOST IN SPACE
While this anime might take place in the future, it’s still high school, which means it’s time for a class trip. But the future does hold some benefits. Today’s select group of students will get to travel off world and participate in a miniature survival camp expedition. But trouble awaits them. What kind of an…
Read MoreDororo (2019)
This review has been a long time coming. Personally, this anime is still a contender for anime of the season for winter 2019, and likely will take a spot in my top 5 for the entire year. This anime leads you on two separate journeys: a physical one and an emotional one. By the end,…
Read MoreReview: Cells at Work!
There are many animated versions of the human body and how it functions, from the comedy based Osmosis Jones to the more educational Magic School Bus. So of course there’s going to be an anime about it as well, and Japan is going to do it the only way Japan knows how: with lots of…
Read MoreReview: Maoyu – Archenemy & Hero
I’m just going to start off by saying that this review will be more negative than it is positive. I really wanted to like this one because it seemed like a really fun concept (at least in the beginning). Unfortunately, Maoyu – Archenemy & Hero lost its way after a few episodes and never really…
Read MoreReview: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
Since the premiere of one of my most anticipated shows for the summer 2019 season is imminent, I figured now would be a good time to post a review of the first season for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon (ダンジョンに出会いを求めるのは間違っているだろうか) (wow, that’s a mouthful in any language). I’m…
Read MoreReview: The Rising of the Shield Hero
At long last we have reached the conclusion of one of this year’s biggest anime (at least for me). It began it’s season broiled in controversy, added protagonists that not everyone enjoyed, and despite all flags pointing the other direction, managed to finish the story without a giant cliffhanger (instead giving us just a little…
Read MoreReview: GATE
Life in Tokyo is continuing much like it always has in recent years. People are working, shopping and dining just like any other day. For otaku Itami Youji, it’s a special day with a doujinshi event. Itami has built his entire life around supporting his hobbies and nothing will stand between him and this event.…
Read MoreMid-Season Impressions: Dororo (2019)
Each season of anime inevitably has at least a few really great shows. In addition to this, there’s usually one or two that stand above the rest. When I initially did my Dororo (2019) Pilot Impression, it struck me as one of the season’s shows that would definitely fit into that first category; what I…
