Plunderer (Anime) add
Preliminary (5/24 eps)
Plunderer introduces story elements that could have made for an interesting show: A world where people are station in a rigid hierarchy with tattooed numbers indicating rankings, where one must listen to anyone ranked above them and the only way to advance is to perform an (often mundane) assigned task, while failure to comply results in being dragged into an “abyss” (death? purgatory?). Anyone with a day job in a capitalist country can relate to this and it could have been an interesting focus for this anime. There’s also a fun soldier side-character stationed in a small town, who defies orders, instead spending her time ...

The movie has some incredible animation and breathtaking backgrounds, but is wildly inconsistent. Not that any of it is terrible, but some parts clearly stood out as rushed or with janky cgi character movements. Other scenes are quite striking, with fluid animation that adeptly conveys both action, and more subtle body language. In fact, one of the film’s greatest strengths is the animation’s ability to capture the personality of the characters in each scene, whether it’s the rebelliousness abandonment of Qi Jingxuan, or Yao Zhe Tian’s quiet desperation to find purpose and break free from her overly structured life. Even side characters like the teacher, ...

Gibiate (Anime) add
Preliminary (3/12 eps)
You know how some stories can wind up going downhill? Well in Gibiate’s case, that hill is a 90 degree cliff...

At the top of this cliff are some uniquely beautiful character designs harkenng back to the days of late 80’s and early 90’s OVAs like Ninja Scroll, with realistically proportioned adult bodies and copious amounts of shading to give them depth and edge! Frankly, the designs are super cool, which shouldn’t come as a surprise since they are the brainchild of Yoshitoki Amano (of Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D fame) and then refined by the amazingly talented mangaka Naoki Serizawa, of whom I’m a ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)
If you’re masochist who fantasizes about an underage harem of supernatural girls abusing you, then this anime will appeal to you. That’s not a judgement against people who enjoy that stuff, I just want potential viewers to know what they’re getting when they watch this.

I found the show a lot less interesting than its synopsis made it sound, and dropped it after 5 episodes. Lots of voyeuristic camera shots of the female characters, whether they are are actually doing something sexy like bathing or just starting a convo with the male lead, you will probably see a close up pan of their bodies starting ...

All Out!! (Anime) add
As I start of all my reviews: Who will enjoy All Out?

- Fans of realistic sports animation and drama.
- Fujoshi who are into thick boys.
- People who like stories with a deep roster of developed characters.
- Anyone who appreciates team dynamics and camaraderie.
- Anyone hoping to learn about Rugby.

Things I appreciated about All-Out:

All Out does an amazing job of explaining not only the rules, but also the strategies involved in Rugby, and fits this naturally into the action without any ...
