Kami no Tou (Anime) add
Preliminary (7/13 eps)
If you have been enticed to watch Kami no Tou because of its relatively high rating this season, think again before wasting your time and wondering where it all went.

I have noticed a lot of the reviews on ‘Kami no Tou’ tend to be misleading and have an implied bias towards what the show “could be” to what it is. Much of this relies on the supposition you are an avid follower of the web manga (from which this adapted from) of the same name.

The narrative seems to be that Kami no Tou “could be” one of those epics which take many, many ...

After watching the 2018-2019 remake of the first 25 episodes of the original series ‘Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These’ and it’s “Seiran” parts, I’d naturally come to watch the original expecting more space battles and the like. Full disclosure, I had a head-start beginning from episode 26 in the OVA as I’d already watched the first 25 in the remake.

‘It’s just a game, right?’ – Ryouta Sakamoto

Btooom! is a psychological-action-thriller anime which is set predominately in the serious tone.


The Story: 7/10
------------------
The ‘game-then-not-a-game’ setting in anime has been used quite frequently these past years. They’ve become the main storyline in romances, harems, actions, thrillers and even horrors. Btooom! is another type of example, but it’s the most serious one that makes it different to all the others. The story is set like this: A young adult who plays the game Btooom! suddenly finds himself stranded on a mysterious island equipped with a bag of bombs where they need to kill other people, and take their ...

Lamune (Anime) add
Lamune is nothing less than a simple light-hearted, comedic romance. But even then it is fairly enjoyable.


The Story: 6/10
------------------
In Lamune, every episode begins with a flashback from the past, detailing a section of the childhood relationship of the two main characters, Nanami and Kenji. What was depicted in the flashback is then, in one way or another connected to the main story which admittedly is not much. Lamune adopts a storyline we’ve seen too many times in anime- the ‘childhood friend romance’. Even so, it is one of the best to take advantage of this. It’s comedy revolves around the two main characters and some ...
