Alright, took a dive into this steampunk-zombie-ish flick recently, and let's just say... it's a mixed bag. First off, if you're thinking of giving it a whirl, do yourself a favor and avoid the DUB like it's last year's expired milk. The accents they attempted? Yikes. Felt like they were juggling too many balls, dropped a few, and decided to keep juggling.
As for the plot, imagine Swiss cheese. You got it: holey. I mean, there are moments when you think it's onto something profound, and then BAM! It throws you a curveball that has you thinking, "Wait, what?" It's like the movie itself is on

Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san
(Anime)
add
Drenched in pastel shades with a distinctively cute art style, this anime might first appear as a typical heartwarming slice-of-life series. However, as the episodes roll on, certain consistent undertones become hard to brush aside.
The central fox deity, despite her age-old backstory, is presented with a jarringly childlike appearance and behavior. This heavy lean into the 'loli' trope, complete with recurrent jokes about her youthful demeanor, can detract from the intended comforting theme and make for some uneasy viewing moments. While some might breeze past these elements, for others, like me, it tends to overshadow the potential charm of the series. As with any show, it's ...

Soul Eater

There are shows that simply entertain, and then there are those that captivate your very soul. This series belongs to the latter category. From the onset, it was like diving headfirst into a whirlwind of dark, gothic brilliance that I couldn't pull away from.
The art style is nothing short of unique: vivid, distinct, and beautifully dark, reflecting the tone of the series impeccably. The animation is crisp, and the fight sequences? A dazzling display of choreography that is as fluid as it is breathtaking. What truly enamored me, though, were the characters. Vibrant, complex, and deeply relatable, they form the pulsating heart of the narrative. Their ...

This anime plunges headfirst into a realm that's both dark and enthralling. Its story is a breath of fresh air in the genre; while there were moments I could predict, the setup's allure made me stick around. I mean, who can resist such a captivating universe, especially when it's complemented by an art style that encapsulates the narrative perfectly?
The characters aren't just cut-out templates either. They're layered, with discernible flaws balancing their strengths. They aren't just absurdly overpowered or ridiculously naive; they're nuanced, reacting to unfolding events with a realism that keeps you engaged. Their responses to the twisted situations feel genuine, which, in a ...

This film stands as a testament to Studio Ghibli's ability to craft timeless pieces. Even after all these years, it effortlessly contends with the flashiest new anime titles. Its intricate plot, captivating animation, and profound environmental themes feel as fresh and resonant today as they did during its debut.
Facing the wave of modern anime with their advanced tech and graphics, this classic doesn't flinch. It reminds us that it's the depth of storytelling and character development that truly captivates. Its narrative, focusing on the tenuous balance between nature and industrialization, feels ever relevant. In the evolving world of anime, this gem remains a beacon, showcasing the ...

Zombieland Saga
(Anime)
add
Alright, let's get one thing straight: I usually sidestep idol anime like it's hot lava in a childhood game of "the floor is lava". But this one? Totally caught me off-guard. Combine idol girls with a sprinkle of undead, toss them in a blender from different eras, and voila! A concoction I never knew I needed.
Hesitantly, I clicked expecting the usual sugar-coated idol performances. Instead, I found myself in a whirlwind of undead hilarity, mishaps that made me spit out my drink, and a manager whose energy is... let's say otherworldly. The animation? Top-tier. Concert scenes? Actually fire. The music? Catchy with a twist, and not ...

In a nutshell, "Watamote" is that cringy, quirky friend that you can't help but love. Not your typical slice-of-life anime. It's like taking those embarrassing teen moments, cranking the dial up to 11, and serving it with a side of dark humor. The show is basically a masterclass in second-hand embarrassment.
Now, if you're hunting for rosy high school romances or fairy-tale endings, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you want a painfully honest (and hilarious) portrayal of teenage social anxiety, Tomoko's your girl. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, and sometimes, you'll want to give her a big ol' hug. The animation style fits the mood ...

Deadman Wonderland
(Anime)
add
So, you're telling me we've got a prison that doubles as an amusement park? Sign me up—oh wait, maybe not actually sign me up, that place is nuts! "Deadman Wonderland" throws you into this wild ride, and just when you're buckled in, it goes off the rails... and not entirely in the way the manga did.
Look, if you're a die-hard fan of the manga, brace yourself. The anime takes some, let's say, "creative detours." It's like ordering a pepperoni pizza and getting one with pineapple. Some of you might love the surprise, while others... not so much. That said, as its own beast, the anime is ...

Jumped into "Another" expecting spine-tingling chills, and in terms of atmosphere, it genuinely delivered. The whole "cursed class" theme felt fresh and wasn't something I've come across often. But while the plot kept me engaged, I found it somewhat predictable, perhaps due to my affinity for the horror-mystery genre.
Visually, the art style was spot on - dark, moody, and perfectly fitting for such a creepy storyline. It accentuated the suspense, and the intricate details in certain scenes enhanced the overall eerie vibes. Character-wise, I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I appreciated that Kouichi and Mei weren't the typical invincible protagonists. They had their flaws, ... |
