i started reading this bc i came across a panel on twitter of a girl sitting in a really gross room full of junk, and i really like that kind of aesthetic so i decided to give it a go and was not disappointed. this is a really weird story about an alien tricking a young girl intro giving up her brothers soul and her subsequent quest to get revenge, it sounds pretty generic when i put it like that but there are lots of interesting paths this manga takes that u don't normally see in stories like this.

the highlight of the whole thing is ... definitely the art, lots of really cool panels depicting a neet girl, gore, guns, aliens, stuff like that.

as a whole i'd give it an 8. it's really short so u can easily read it in on sitting. would love to see an ova adapt this it'd be rlly sick animated. reminded me of becchin to mandara in a lot of ways, just the general vibe and weirdness. pretty fricking cool overall

honestly I loved this movie despite never seeing anything else black jack related. the animation was beautiful even if it fell off a little at the end, character animation was smooth and detailed and all of those shots of old computers and surgery were to die for. fantastic backgrounds and direction, interesting characters and the plot was good enough even if it was predictable. i'm a huge sucker for good 90s animation/character designs so this was a treat to watch, I really enjoyed it. the only thing that bugged me was the indoor rain around the 55 minute mark. a solid 8/10.

one of the the best show about a lesbian relationship in the medium, and it doesn't do it in the way anime usually does. There's no fan service, the characters aren't sexualized, and the shows drama and relationships are grounded in reality. This feels like a show made for lgbt youth, it's not pandering to the otaku crowd and instead is a realistic portrayal of being young and experimenting with your sexuality. It's not perfect, the art can be inconsistent and the show feels slow at times but watching the relationship of the 2 main girls grow brought back many memories of similar ... relationships i've had in the past and that's not something I experience with anime often.

This anime looks pretty good for 1989 and has tons of gory moments that would make great gifs, that's really the only nice thing I can say about this anime. the story is complete nonsense, no ones motivation for anything is clear and nothings explained that well. it kinda just feels like nonsense soup with a bunch of fighting in-between. the summery of the plot here on MAL tells you way more then the show will. I had no idea the "demons" were actually aliens till I went back and read the description of it again

the battles can be pretty cool, creative and gory ... and like I said it looks good for 1989.

5/10 it's really all style and no substance

Wake Up, Girls! Shichinin no Idol works as an intro into the show, think of it as a 52 minute long first episode. It's simple enough, a talent company runs out of talent and tries to scramble together some girls to start an idol group. The characters are cute and the music is great and it even made me laugh a few times, it's enough to make me start watching the Wake Up, Girls! as it airs.

8/10
