Kono Oto Tomare! Series Review
Kono Oto Tomare! Series Review - A Mixture of Good, Okay, and Not So Great
A Mixture of Good, Okay, And Not So Great
As someone who isn’t a huge fan of school based anime and
even less a fan of school based anime that focuses on the over-used plot line
of the danger of a club being shut down, oh the horror, it seems weird that I
got into Kono Oto Tomare. However, from episode one there was something about
Chika Kudo as a character that made me want to give this one…

Singing Soothes The Poisoned Teens
Astra Lost in Space Episode 4
Astra Lost in Space continues to be pretty solid
entertainment. I am going to level a criticism at the attempted humour early in
the episode when they first eat the candy flowers and the reaction shots of the
characters. While it was nice to see some levity after episode three’s near
crash sequence we’d kind of already covered…

Politics in Space
Politics in Space - My stop in the Space is the Place blog tour
Thanks @MechAnimeReview for organising.
One of the many amazing things about stories, and anime in general, is its ability to explore ideas and possibilities that may or may not ever exist. Science Fiction in particular delves into the realm of what may be possible as well as the problems and consequences that come about with technological development.
Which is why I find it so interesting that despite all the possibilities that might…

Amazing Stranger Anime Review
Amazing Stranger Anime Review - Not So Amazing, But Not Trash Either
Not So Amazing, But Not Trash Either
There was something fairly intriguing about the premise of Amazing Stranger (of Chou Kadou Girl 1/6) as an anime figure who still has full use of all of her weapons and skills from her story coming to life in the modern world could have been really interesting. Particularly initially when she still believed she was an intergalactic explorer and Bouida was…

Attack on Titan Series Review Season Three Part Two
Attack on Titan Series Review Season Three Part Two - What We've Been Waiting For
What We’ve Been Waiting For
It is hardly a surprise that Attack on Titan Season Three
Part Two took out my reader’s choice for anime of the season. Attack on Titan
is one of those series that has a fairly persistent fan base who got used to
being patient after the long wait between season one and two and whose
expectations of the series have considerably lowered since the explosive…

Not Triple Price For Fruit
Isekai Cheat Magician Episode 3
Two weeks as adventurers and the guild gives Rin and Taichi
a mission failed twice already by D-ranks (apparently the rank above where they
started). Naturally, given these two are the stars of Isekai Cheat Magician,
the quest isn’t going to prove all that difficult for them, though I feel they
leave a lot unresolved when the guild…

Inquiring Minds Want to Know #23
Inquiring Minds Want to Know #23 - What are your top three genres in anime and manga?
A deceptive question this week. It looked so easy and harmless and then I started thinking about it and my mind went round and round in circles like a mouse on one of those little wheel things. Eventually I sorted out an answer, kind of. So here we go and remember to share your answer in the comments.
I’d love to answer a question from you so fill in the survey below or DM on twitter.

Maou-Sama, Retry! Review Episode 4 - Gotta Catch 'Em All
Gotta Catch ‘Em All
Demon-Lord, Retry Episode 4
There are so many moments in episode 4 of Demon-Lord Retry
that could be worse. The seemingly self-titled girly-boy’s comments if pushed
just a little further would go from slightly unnerving but still kind of
amusing into hell-no territory and yet they managed to not take that final leap
(or at least for me).
Outside of that though, Maou-Sama…

Finding Fairies
Cop Craft Episode 3
I know saying that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts is a little bit trite particularly when that means there are some parts that aren’t so great, and yet it is apt in this instance. Cop Craft is treading fairly familiar territory to those who have watched many buddy-cop type movies and shows over the years and the inclusion of fairies isn’t…

If You Haven't Watched X...
Friday's Feature: If You Haven't Watched X...
You don’t have to look very far online to find a discussion about gate keeping an anime. Of course you also don’t have to look very far to find someone making a comment implying that if you haven’t watched whatever they’ve decided is the pinnacle masterpiece of anime then you aren’t an anime fan. And the entire situation baffles me even after all these years.
I’m not new to being a fan of anime…

Formally Taking a Break
Formally Taking a Break
It should be obvious to regular readers that I disappeared for a bit there. Mostly I have been taking stock of my life, working on my health and just taking some time for me.
This has resulted in the decision to take a longer break from the blog. It coincides with some major life changes including plans to move from the tiny rural town I have called home for over a decade.
I can’t say when I…

How To Keep a Mummy Series Review: So Much Cuteness In One Little Package
How To Keep a Mummy Series Review: So Much Cuteness In One Little Package
How To Keep a Mummy gives you a mini-mummy, a back-pack sized dragon, a tiny oni and a whole bunch of other pint sized monsters all in one adorable anime package. What more could you want? Well maybe a slightly more developed plot and characters but sometimes being kawaii might just be enough.
When Sora received a coffin from his father who was travelling through Egypt, he suspects the worst and…

How To Keep a Mummy Episode 12: Cheesy and Yet Pulls It Off
How To Keep a Mummy continued to play to its strengths all the way through and while it also pulled a family/friends beat all kind of ending it did it with the kind of earnestness that allows you to smile and just accept that is the kind of show you were watching. To be honest, it is the kind of anime that just makes you want to indulge it as it pulls out the super cute card over and over…

How To Keep a Mummy Episode 11: Part of Me Wants To Say About Time
With only an episode to go, How To Keep A Mummy finally delivers some actual drama in addition to adorableness.
How to Keep a Mummy has been a super cute anime but with the promise of curses and problems with monsters raised in the first episode and then very seldom thought about since, it is nice to see the show bring that back in for the penultimate episode.
Sora and friends inadvertently trespass at a solstice festival without invitations leading to a moment of genuine tension in the usually sickly…
