Going in, I was quite excited to finally watch Psycho-pass. I knew it was a very popular show at one point and was looking forward to checking out a sci-fi seinen anime.
Unfortunately, Psycho pass is held back by bland characters and pretentious writing. Too many minutes in this show consist of long winded rants about the world that just become boring and irritating as the show goes on. On top of that, there is a real lack of âentertainment valueâ from the plot as you are essentially watching a slow detective show with a sci-fi skin.
That said, the show has very nice

Cowboy Bebop
(Anime)
add
Not Recommended Funny  Preliminary
(14/26 eps)
Painfully Overrated:
Cowboy bebop has a lot of charm, likeable characters with interesting personalities, very nice visuals, a cool world that is a refreshing spin on the sci-fi genre and some fun moments here and there. However 'personality' isn't enough to keep me invested in a show. I need a real storyline with an overarching plot, character development and stakes. Unfortunately Cowboy Bebop doesn't seem to offer that, instead it follows the slice of life saturday morning cartoon structure where each episode feels disjointed and most of the episodes are essentially sidequests that don't relate to any main plot aka filler. I quite enjoyed the first ...

Blame! Movie
(Anime)
add
I feel like BLAME! is the very definition of mid. Its kinda boring, kinda mediocre and kinda low quality. At the same time though there are enough elements that kept me interested until the end.
The unique art style, the cool enemy design, the intriguing setting. These might be enough to satisfy some people and for others they most definitely will not be. The characters are one dimensional, the writing is pathetic and the animation leaves a lot to be desired. If someone asked me if I regretted watching BLAME! my answer would be no. If someone asked me if I would recommend that other ...

Perfect Blue
(Anime)
add
Going in, I knew very little about Perfect Blue. A YouTube video came up in my recommended, praising the movie and so when I went to watch it myself all I knew was that it was some psychological thriller of some kind.
To start off, the visuals of this movie have definitely aged. I wouldn't say it looks bad necessarily, some of the character designs particularly the protagonist look nice and I like the colour palette but the animation could be a lot better. The characters themselves are also pretty surface level apart from the protagonist who is quite likeable and interesting. When it comes ...

Violet Evergarden
(Anime)
add
All flash and no substance.
Violet Evergarden ticks a lot of boxes, its got beautiful visuals, pretty good voice acting, a unique premise and an interesting protagonist. However the severe lack of plot and over reliance of melodrama makes this show a chore to watch for me. A lot of people will really like this show but personally I just felt like there was too little happening and each episode too disjointed for me to care about what was happening. Its ultimately a slice of life anime with pretty visuals and emotional music to convince you that the story is more engaging than what it actually ...

Mob Psycho 100 III
(Anime)
add
A disappointing conclusion to a great anime.
After watching the excellent Season 2 late last year, I was really looking forward to Mob Psycho 3 but decided to hold off on it due to the change in voice actors which I found quite jarring. Now that I've finally gotten around to watching it I'm honestly pretty disappointed. This season for me was a mess, with terrible pacing, episodes that feel completely out of place, storylines that don't really go anywhere or relate to an overarching plot. It just feels very messy to me. I started to get hooked towards the middle of the season as Mob finds ...

Hataraku Maou-sama!!
(Anime)
add
What a complete mess.
The Devil Is A Part Timer was the first anime I ever watched back in 2014, I knew very little about anime but saw various people talking about it on YouTube and Twitter at the time and thought I would try to get into it. The first season was great, with an interesting premise, likeable characters, solid humour and a certain charm that makes it stand out in my memory when I looked back on previous anime I have watched. Sadly most of the charm has been sucked out with this 2nd season, not only has this season seen a significant change ...

Mob Psycho 100 II
(Anime)
add
Writing this review after just finishing the 2nd season of Mob Psycho, coincidentally on the same day that season 3 comes out. My thoughts on the first season were that it was a solid beginning but this season in particular REALLY resonated with me. It really feels like they cranked it up a notch, further developing the characters, making the scale of fights bigger and more intense and there are some incredibly memorable moments both happy and sad.
As someone that isn't the biggest fan of Shounen I think they have done a great job, the characters are very likeable and interesting, the dub is ...

Steins;Gate
(Anime)
add
Not Recommended Funny Preliminary
(8/24 eps)
Honestly blows my mind that this is one of the highest rated anime on the website. Steinsgate has possibly the worst cast of characters I have seen in an anime, one dimensional forgettable characters that are insanely unlikeable especially the protagonists who is insufferable. The concept seems kinda interesting but the plot moves at such a snails pace with such boring characters that I'm not willing to spend hours of my time waiting for the payoff (assuming there is any)
When it comes to the visuals and music the show is pretty average and the voice acting for the dub is serviceable but nothing ...

I was pleasantly surprised to sit down and watch Akira for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it despite its age. Visually the anime holds up very well with animation that not only provides the viewer with smooth captivating action scenes but also a large sense of scale that does a great job of immersing the viewer in a different world.
The world of Akira is very interesting (and quite amusing) taking place in 2019 but being very futuristic and reminding me of the setting you would find in something like Dredd or Cyberpunk 2077. The environments are very detailed for an anime this old and ... |
