One of my issue with the first My Hero Academia movie was the animation quality not being any better than the show. Well the 3rd act of this movie has an insanely good animation with one of the best fights seen in the series. It also explores a bit more of the relationship between Midoriya and Bakugo.
It's a shame that the ending ends up being dumb because they had to conform to the sake of canon. Additionally, the relationship between Midoriya and the new movie supporting character, Katsuma, is not interesting whatsoever. The first half of this movie is also quite slow and boring.

I appreciate that this movie actually expands on the world of My Hero Academia and also explores more of All Might's backstory. Apart from that the movie is very predictable and forgettable.
It doesn't help that the villain is unmemorable and the supporting character Melissa who is quirkless, could've been very interesting but just ends up being a very bland supporting character. The animation quality is just more or less the same as the show which is disappointing as you would expect they would give this a movie budget quality but it never really amounts to anything more. It's not terrible movie and if you ...

Saekano was one of the few harem shows that was actually interesting and well executed. I really loved the first two seasons and was hoping for a 3rd season but instead they decided to just wrap it up in a movie format.
I think the movie definitely delivers on providing a satisfying finale while wrapping up the romance aspect. The animation and art were fantastic, the music was great and the story was simple yet engaging. The post credit scene is also incredibly wild! The limited runtime of a movie does result in some issues such as some characters, Michiru and Izumi, having minimal screen time and ...

Gintama: The Final
(Anime)
add
It's hard to believe that the original anime started over 15 years ago and was finally coming to an end. Gintama was so incredibly unique with it's very meta comedy, characters and setting. What made it an amazing series was how good it was at doing comedy stories and serious stories while blending both together.
Gintama the final adapts the final arc of the manga and puts it into a movie format. It has all the qualities that make Gintama great and gives the fans a satisfying conclusion to the story. However, the movie does end up feeling more like a half season anime show than ...

Netflix has been investing in a lot of original anime projects and Bubble (2022) is one of them. This project had big build up when it was announced that Wit Studio, who animated the first 3 seasons of Attack on Titan, was involved in this movie. It also had the director and producer of the first 3 seasons of Attack on Titan and legendary writer, Gen Urobochi, of Madoka Magica and Psycho pass fame was writing for Bubble (2022). It was also revealed one of the best anime composers, Sawano Hiroyuki, was going to compose for this film. It just screamed amazing!
So imagine my disappointment ...

Since Konosuba is finally getting a season 3, I thought I would finally go back and watch this film in celebration of that announcement. What sets this movie apart from other anime movies is that this is actually a canon story that is from the novel.
The movie does end up feeling more like 4-5 episodes of the show stitched together then an actual movie. Especially considering that the animation quality is more or less the same as the show and not remotely better. However, that isn't necessarily bad as that means it inherits all the things that we loved from the show. The ...

Belle is a modern Japanese take on the classic Beauty and the Beast story. The director Mamoru Hosoda made some wonderful anime movies such as Summer Wars, Wolf Children and Mirai which I absolutely loved. So I was no doubt going to watch Belle.
I love the contrast in art and animation style between the real world and the virtual world. The real-world uses 2D fluid and dynamic animation while the virtual world uses this 3D dazzling and beautiful aesthetic. Both are amazing to look at. One of the biggest highlights though is the music which is just wonderful. The final performance is just absolutely stunning! I ...

Story: 7/10
It's a story about a guy suddenly getting 3 younger sisters from his father's second marriage. It's not going to blow your mind or anything but there is definitely something there to enjoy. There is some drama but it never ever becomes unbearably annoying. It's just about a family learning to live together, and that's nice. Art: 7/10 I really enjoy the art in this series. I think there is just some beauty to it all. Just like the story though, the art ain't going to blow you away with an awesome looking panel or anything. The art is definitely better than average though. Character: 8/10 This is ...

Story: 5/10
It's basically a road trip to new york with the occasional plot of some bad guy manipulating things. It's not impressive or anything and the revelations aren't that surprising either. Near the end it does start to feel like they were more interested in trying to promote good looking girls and promoting their game then making a great one-off story. Art: 8/10 This is basically the only reason you are going to watch this show. The character designs are great, the American settings looks great and the fight scenes are awesome. This show is purely style over substance. Sound: 6/10 I am severely disappointed in the music in ...

Trying to do a redemption story for an unlikeable main character is a difficult task. This is one of the challenges that "A Silent Voice" has to deal with it as our main character, Ishida, bullied a deaf girl when he was younger.
However, this film succeeds in this whilst also tackling deep themes such as depression, guilt and bullying. One thing this movie avoids falling into is being overly melodramatic. There is some drama and some romance but they are not the central theme. I appreciated that the film remains focused on the problems that Ishida and the deaf girl, Shoko, are dealing with. ... |
