Piano no Mori
(Anime)
add
4 little mice nibble on the sheet music of the red-haired kid, shimmering fragments tinted with wild notes. Gradually, the piano tames him. Barefoot in the tall grass that grows to the sound of the keys under a radiant moon, a luminous moment of grace where the metronome stops, a few heartbeats in rhythm, breath caught - - - the spectator listens, the music overwhelms everything, subtly infiltrates the bodies; a marvelous journey that scale, we are well, protected by the trees, the foliage, Nature: talent has all the room in the world to express itself. One is wild, the other diligent, two styles opposite,

Lupin III: Cagliostro no Shiro
(Anime)
add
As a prelude, Lupin and his accomplice pull off a high-speed robbery, involving steering wheels, tricked-out cars and wet-ink banknotes. Then, as he drowns under an ocean of cash, the gentleman thief has an idea: return to one of his most bitter failures: Cagliostro's Castle. The melancholy, jazzy opening credits are reminiscent of the passage of time, and with our arms full of our youth and our backs propped up on the back seat, we're off on our adventure.
The sight of the delicate princess imprisoned transforms the thief into a mischievous knight, guided by romantic impulses; Miyazaki finely sketches the budding love of this unlikely ...

Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!
(Anime)
add
Masaaki Yuasa is a genius, and everything he touches turns into heart-warming candy.
His childlike soul, intact, is at the helm. Ideas rain down like asteroids, riddling the frame at an insane pace, and an entire universe comes to life under the Master's fanatical and amused pencil strokes. Ping Pong and The Tatami Galaxy are immense, indispensable works, and the latest, Keep Your Hands Off, Eizuken! is made of the same material. Three girls with diametrically opposed, and therefore complementary, personalities set out to create a video club in order to make an anime (each for a different reason, basically). The imagination constantly bubbling in the trio's heads overflows ...

Ao no Hako
(Manga)
add
There are a lot of problems with the writing. Little details here and there that bother me. Illogical remarks that suddenly take me out of the story, or situations that are a little too conventional, which make me sigh.
Moreover, the dialogues are sorely lacking in rhythm and spice. It's the last straw for a high-school love story, a bubbly, intrepid period. Taiki's clearly not the most exciting boy on earth, and there's nothing wrong with being banal, but it's all too predictable. I've had enough of dull romances, I can't find myself in them. The drawings, on the other hand, are quite brilliant, and ...

Steins;Gate
(Anime)
add
A handful of cicadas gently animate the summer atmosphere, a timeless melody composed of burning memories clinging to beings, ignoring time, a dreadful enemy with a twisted soul, disfigured by so many wanderings. The Mad Scientist frantically taps the keys of his laptop, D-mail sent, the microwave crackles, process is suddenly activated, lines of the Universe are bending and stretching, under the migratory movements of this crazy guy, in love. Guided by a scientific curiosity, Okarin crosses Time, a glittering ivory shadow gliding from one dimension to another, trying not to submit, to tame it, this merciless beast with a golden mane, the one that
