The second SAO Progressive film picks up with Kirito and Asuna making their way to the fifth floor, which isn’t in the main series at all. This film is a more straightforward adaptation of the fourth volume of Progressive compared to the previous film’s adaptation of the first volume. There is still some film original content, primarily centered around Mito, but for the most part the differences with the light novel comes down to things being cut from the film. That may seem like a problem, but the Progressive films already skipped half of volume 1 and the entirety of volume 2-3, so it’s kind ...

This film is an alternate retelling of the first two episodes of the main Sword Art Online anime. As such, this is fine as an entry point for the series. However, this review is primarily for those that are already familiar with the main series. This film is based on the light novel series Sword Art Online Progressive, which is a more in depth retelling of the series by the original author, Kawahara Reki, himself. However, it is a very loose adaptation of the first Progressive novel with the majority of content being original or heavily modified. These anime original differences do produce some pretty ...

Darwin's Game (Manga) add
Darwin’s Game is one of those manga that involves people suddenly being given supernatural powers and then forced to duke it out. Darwin’s Game is a mysterious smartphone app that gives its users a supernatural ability known as a Sigil. They then fight each other for points that can be exchanged for cash and prizes. Battles can be initiated through simply running into another D-Game player and triggering a battle through the app, but there are also major events where players are mass teleported to a location and then given some sort of objective. The game is not purely a death game as it is ...

I will start this review by saying that I love trashy isekai. Power fantasies where the protagonist is overpowered and a dozen girls instantly fall in love with him for no apparent reason are totally my jam. This anime very much one of those anime. The protagonist, Yuuya, starts off as a fat guy bullied by everyone including his family, but after finding a door to a fantasy world he levels up super quickly and becomes a hot overpowered guy. The gimmick that makes this anime somewhat unique compared to the other trashy isekai is that Yuuya can freely go back and forth between the ...

This anime is a series of half length episodes about a guy who gets turned into a dog named Pochita and then adopted by a girl named Inukai. There is a plot centered around him trying to figure out how he became a dog and how to change back into a human. However, it isn’t all that good and moves very slowly. I suppose there’s also some attempt at fleshing out the character of Inukai and a couple other girls, but they were still all incredibly underdeveloped.

The focus more so is random ecchi hijinks. To be honest, these aren’t all that great either. The way ...

The second season of Mashle picks up right where the first season left off, Mash being exposed as lacking magic. The powers that be give him a respite due to the fact that he can serve as bait to Innocent Zero. However that respite is predicated on him still being in the running for Divine Visionary. And that leads to Mash participating in The Divine Visionary Candidate Exam, which is the focus of this season as you would expect from the title. Though its called an exam, it’s a competition with the worst performers each round being eliminated from the running. And as you would ...

This is the manga adaptation of the famous original anime by Trigger. The anime is very different. For one, the manga is considerably rushed compared to the anime to the point that it skips as much as it adapts. It’s missing so much, that in and of itself it’s just not a very good manga. The character arcs are completely underdeveloped, the plot is overly simplistic but still full of holes, and the core themes are completely superficial. I’d have to say the manga on its own just straight up isn’t really worth reading. Thus, for those that haven’t seen the anime, I recommend watching ...

Blood on the Tracks is very different from what I expected it to be. Based on the description, I thought it would be about a psychopathic mother that goes to extreme lengths in order to control her son. The core of the manga is definitely the toxic relationship between the protagonist, Seiichi, and his mother, Seiko. However, the mother is not some master manipulator obsessed with her son. Rather, she’s a weak-willed woman with impulsive self-destructive urges to destroy her current life. Due to being weak willed she clings to him as her emotional support, but her feeling towards him aren’t that strong.

The only reason ...

Mashle (Anime) add
Mashle is basically a Harry Potter parody. It doesn’t entirely start out as one, but it feels like whenever the mangaka was out of ideas he lifted something from HP and thus as the season progresses it veers further and further in that direction. More specifically, this anime is basically set in the future of a world where the death eaters won and wizards took over the world and began oppressing those without magic.

The protagonist, Mash, is born without magic and abandoned as a baby, but is picked up by a nice man who raises him secretly in the woods. Things go well until a ...

*This is a review of both Dead or Bullet and Nightmare or Queen.*

Date A Bullet is a spin off of Date A Live. It’s very loosely based on a light novel series with the same name, but it’s loose enough that I would consider it as something original. It’s listed as two films, but each film is the size of a standard anime episode so it’s basically just two episodes. It is very clearly targeted at Kurumi fans. It is technically a sequel to the Date A Live OVA Kurumi Star Festival, but it also has spoilers for Kurumi’s past that were only revealed in ...
