My Personal Reviews on Anime
In all the anime I’ve seen (which I admit is relatively small), there are not many that match Promare’s visual aesthetic. It’s an odd blend of the traditional with the abstract, choosing a more polygonal approach than organic. Honestly, it’s fairly reminiscent of some modern day western cartoons, choosing rough simplicity over detailed elegance. From…

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…

I don’t watch a lot of sports anime; American football aside, I don’t particularly enjoy watching sports in general. Even when I do decide I want to watch sports on television, I can tell you baseball has been my choice exactly one time. I just find the game incredibly uneventful. So imagine my surprise when…

Writing a review for an anime like Fruits Basket (2019) is incredibly difficult. The nature of the story they are telling leaves me with a lot to unpack both emotionally and as a narrative. And this is only the first season. I’ll do my best to convey the spirit of the anime, as I feel…

And by that, I mean the genre has become so popular as of late that we’ve now taken our isekai characters from several different shows and isekai’d them again into yet another world, all together.

I’m just going to come right out and say it. My Fridays are going to be a lot more depressing now that Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (ひとりぼっちの○○生活) has finished airing. It was always one of the highlights for Friday anime, especially after a particularly sad episode of Fruits Basket (2019) (and you better believe I…

I think I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: every season of anime tends to have one anime that stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to sheer production quality. It’s an anime where the art, music, story, etc, all deliver on such polished levels that, even though you’re seeing…

Amazingly enough, this isn’t the first anime I’ve written about on this site that’s actually an update to one that already aired. One of the first Pilot Impressions I ever did was for the Winter 2019 anime, Dororo (2019), which I think originally aired sometime in the 60’s or 70’s (I don’t actually know because…
