My Top 10 (and Worst 5) Anime of 2013

Last year I struggled quite a bit when coming up with my top ten, not because there were so many good shows, but because there was a lack of them. A few times I actually considered making it a top five...

Review: Kyoukai no Kanata

Unlike most people, I’ve never been too fond of Kyoto Animation. Their shows are okay, and they certainly know how to animate well, but they’ve never really made anything that stood out for me. That’s...

Early Thoughts on Winter 2013/2014 Anime

Whenever a new season rolls around, I always use a chart to decide what shows I’ll watch based on a promo picture and short synopsis. It works well enough, but it never determines how much I’ll like or...

Review: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

For a while now, I’ve actually been covering shows that I at least found to be decent. It’s a little weird considering what started getting me attention in the first place were me just tearing into...

Review: School Days

Why You Should Watch: Star Driver

(Way back when it ended, I did a review on Star Driver. I don’t really like it, so I decided to use at as the first show for this new series of posts I’ll occasionally write. It’ll essentially function...

Review: Golden Time

Back when the Winter season was starting, quite a few people got hyped up for Golden Time. After all, it was an adaptation of a novel from the same author as ToraDora, and that’s a show that’s beloved...

Review: Samurai Flamenco

Before I start getting into this, I should mention that I originally didn’t want to do a review on this show, I wanted to do a “Why You Should Watch” on it. However, I very quickly ran into a problem:...

The Problems with Mahouka

By now, Spring season shows have wrapped up and Summer season shows are starting to get into swing. This season is actually shaping up to be a pretty good one, too. But instead of talking about either...

A Very Serious Review of Sakura Spirit

Eh, fuck it. In Sakura Spirit, you play as 17-year-old Gushiken Takahiro (which doesn’t really matter, because after a few minutes you’ll just be unconsciously associating his name with your own...

No, The Tokyo Ghoul Ending Wasn’t Bad

This might be a bit late, but I only now started noticing just how much shit the Tokyo Ghoul anime ending was getting. On the one hand, I expected the cries of it being a “cliffhanger” and...

Why Clannad After Story is Also Overrated (In the Form of a Review)

Well, this was inevitable. I don’t think most people who saw what I had to say about Clannad are really surprised that my thoughts on After Story are the same, but there’s also a fair amount of people...

Top 10 (and Worst 5) Anime of 2014

Another year, another time to be unoriginal and do a top ten (or some degree thereof) post like everybody else in the universe. But they’re pretty fun to do, so it makes sense why everybody does them....

Review: Sword Art Online II

Sometimes I struggle with the things I decide to put out. I tend to only cover a show when I have something I want to say about it. Most of the time that’s due to having an opinion that just goes...

A Very Serious Review of Sakura Angels

I hate my friends. Do you remember how Sakura Spirit ended saying that it was just a prologue of things to come for the protagonist? Well turns out Sakura Angels isn’t a sequel and has seemingly no...

Directing in Seraph of the End Episode 11

I normally don’t get to talk about directing and such when reviewing shows since most of the time it’s just “okay”, as in it just really gets the job done and that’s it, so I tend to just skip it. But...

Tokyo Ghoul Review (Seasons 1 & 2)

I’m glad I’m finally getting around to covering this show. It’s already a thing of mine that I like to cover shows where I don’t agree with the majority opinion because it’s more likely to encourage...

Top 10 (and Worst 5) Anime of 2015

Another year, another batch of complaints that the just-finished year of anime was “bad” or “mediocre at best”. It never gets old, really. I thought it was a pretty good year seeing as I was sweating...

The Last: Naruto the Movie Review

The Last: Naruto the Movie (commonly misread as “The Last Naruto Movie“) is not something I was expecting to do a review on. I’m not that into Naruto to begin with (I don’t really actively hate it, I’m...
