'Endless Oceans'
“The briny ocean, born of the human spirit, is endless, always overflowing.
The ocean mixes everything together, and the ocean remains the ocean.
Splashes of happiness melt away and become the ocean.
Lumps of sadness melt away and become the ocean.
Surprise, fear, shame, pride... All things melt and become the ocean.
When a person peers into the ocean within, strangely, they find peace.
They find peace, and they think to themselves:
'See you tomorrow.'”
-- Kudo Naoko

Preliminary (3/24 eps)
Dragons and Dragon Slayers! A fine premiere – cunning and enticing. With a debut episode of 47 minutes long, although this critique’s premature, a lovely charisma floats nigh this anime.

The narrative takes place in an antique epoch where Dragons roam the night sky, ruining and slaughtering humans, however the latter found the beasts’ weakest points (being sunlight and silver domains), and so, a hunting for survival began. Episode one suggests two main characters quite unalike. A little girl, Leonica, the record holder of Dragon slaying, and her companion, Ragna, being introduced as a feeble male character (with an obscure past) leeching off of her, yet ...

Jigokuraku (Anime) add

Prosaic as it may seem, a range of over 9000 inanimate shapes per episode is poetry echoed in animation, charming grotesquery in every single drop of blood, in every flower and petal, cloud and sky, every death in Paradise. Or is this Hell?

Sentenced to death, a Shinobi defiled, Garan no Gabimaru, is offered a chance of pardon by the Shogun. Unwilling to die, unto his wife he finds, amongst riots of no valedictory, Gabimaru undoubtedly concurs to set sail to the mysterious Shinsenkyo island, along with several other convicts, in a quest into the unknown, with a promise of bringing back the Elixir of ...

Stage S (Manga) add
Preliminary (13/? chp)
“Beseeching a God comes with a price”
What if you suddenly die, then reincarnated, bestowed with supernatural powers?
‘Stage S’ commands a very powerful premise, in this debut from up-and-comer author Tomoya Harikawa, that anchors, in deed, talent and oath.

Ukiyo Meguru is a glum and lackadaisical high school student who’s in love with her childhood friend, Tatsumi Sara. A dark tragedy slumbers in his heart, and he believes in God. Nothing abnormal, so far… somewhere, at a Temple, he meets a Snake God, Shirohebi, virtuous enough to foresee the future. Thanks to the deity, Meguru starts dating Sara and his happiness is supreme, until the day an ...

“So let’s us go forward quietly, each on his own path, forever making for the light.”

Shiro Moriya-sensei is an author we should all observe attentive in near future. ‘Soloist in a Cage’ proves to be a triumph debut, a finesse in its dystopian world.

Chloe’s our soloist main character, and at a tender age, she and Locke, her baby brother, were abandoned, since the world they live in is a dark one – Prison City. A place surrounded by colossal walls, surveilled by innumerous robot guards, the streets plagued with vicious criminals, skyscrapers painted with snow – a dystopia ready to be unfolded, nearly impossible to ...

“Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection.”

“Ten years ago. I was a college student at the time, and I had been kidnapped and imprisoned by U, a young girl in elementary school.”
(Such a lovely premise for an odd, peculiar, strange, yet, sweet and inspiring tale.)

NisiOisiN-sensei and another penned art of wonder – an obeisance. Needless to introduce. This novella, as bizarre as it is, is exquisitely enough interesting and charming, captivating in its own unique and intrinsic way. The story and narrative presents, and devotes, itself in the most dramatic and profound fashion, making the reader keep turning ...

YUKITOPIA!!

Welcome to the stupendous and imaginary world of Kishiro Yukito-sensei!

GUNNM (Battle Angel Alita) proves to be a deep and breath-taking work, brimming with charming and intrinsic characters, a powerful and driving story, and a cosmogony as beautiful as it is gloomy, being, after a fashion, a dystopia of a fallen world, once one has delved into it. In Gally (or Alita) we found the drive and valour of a cyborg girl searching for her lost memories, the gore and goose bumps across the skin amongst extraordinary battles as she becomes a Hunter Warrior. Moreover, the nascent, ambiguous and poetic love between man and machine; ...

“Remember me? I was the one who would not abandon you. Even in death I was the one who would not leave you. Remember me?”

Are memories really that important?
Would you care if you lose them?
Would you, deliberately, cast them away?

SAO fans should know what to expect of this movie: the hype was sky-high, and Ordinal Scale met those lofty expectations, astonishingly!

After the Aincrad fateful events, Asuna and Kirito are back to the so called reality. The year 2026 elapses and, in it, a new crescent cosmogony; an inventive and conspicuous technology has emerged - Augma, an alternative system to the AmuSphere, where players can consciously ...

No, this has nothing to do with the Death Note universe, except for the reminiscence of the already known characters L, Misora Naomi-san and, the storyteller, Mello. So, to all the Kira enthusiasts out there, make no mistake - your hero, your god is not here!

But, error not, nonetheless this is a great story. Written by Nisio Isin (Monogatari series, Medaka Box) and illustrated by Obata Takeshi, the artist behind Death Note (though little there is to be appreciated, solely some cool, shady portraits, now and then), BB Renzoku Satsujin Jiken is a dazzling tale holding a secret thirsting to be revealed. It is an ...

(light spoilers, though is more accurate to call it foreseeable events)

first of all, kudos to all you Altair admirers!
spectacular concept! truthfully. imagine, meeting your own creation and interact with the same… and that’s it. now, this is one of the two noteworthy aspects of this series that i’ll be mentioning - everything else sucks!

popping up out of the paper, out of the screen, without an acceptable explanation, or an attempt to, ending up with no explanation whatsoever, somebody’s “creation” begins to fight in our world, the real world (we are the gods here!), in a first episode that had everything to sail towards a good ...
