Watch | The Promised Neverland Season 1

Action or comedy (or a wonderful combination of both) are usually the most popular genres in anime. That’s all wonderful and good, but if those two genres are all that you watch, I suggest you look into taking advantage of the wide range of genres that anime has to offer. I suggest you look into…

Watch | Attack on Titan Season 3

I’ll be honest. I almost gave up on Attack on Titan. Season 2 was quite a chore to watch. Sure, the titans were still there and the action was still pretty fun to watch, but there was something off about its run. I’m not sure if it was the imbalance in good events in comparison…

Watch | One-Punch Man Season 1 and 2

For me and my friends, action or the fighting genre was our starting point in watching anime. Never mind that shounen is targeted for young male teens, most of our earliest anime memories are the ones featuring battles… Dragonball Z, Flame of Recca and Ghost Hunter for us, and Naruto, Bleach and One Piece for…

Watch | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 1

My anime series backlog is embarrassing. But if there’s one thing to take advantage of during community quarantine (and our current self-imposed quarantine despite loosened restrictions) while schools are still on vacation, it’s that extra bit of free time to read and watch. I made it easy on myself and chose an obviously popular title…

Watch | Wolf Children

I think I got a copy of Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki or Wolf Children: Ame and Yuki as soon as it was released for home media viewing. My own viewing of it, however, kept getting pushed back until I realized it’s spent actual years on the backburner. Several weeks ago, I had the rare hour…

Watch | Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

There’s been a joke going around… that Koutetsujou no Kabaneri or Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is pretty much Shingeki no Kyojin or Attack on Titan with trains and animated corpses. It’s not hard to get the joke, considering the massive popularity of Shingeki no Kyojin and the fact that people are pretty much just waiting around for a second…

Watch | Samakoto desu ga?

There’s a brand of comedy in anime that I particularly like. The one that doesn’t always make sense, or necessarily have to. The one that you don’t, or shouldn’t, take seriously in order to gain enjoyment in your viewing. The one that has little to no overarching story throughout the season, but somehow remains cohesive….

Watch | Dimension W

Well, what do you know… an up to date post on an anime title that finished its run only a couple of days ago. I’m not sure how it happened, either. In 2071, Earth has achieved great strides in finding an unlimited power source. Yurizaki Shiro discovers Dimension W and invents coils to harness the energy…

Watch | Akagami no Shirayukihime Season 1

I found the title of Akagami no Shirayukihime to be intriguing. Translated as Snow White with the Red Hair, I thought it would feature a storytelling twist on the famed fairy tale Snow White. As it turns out, the female lead isn’t a princess, and while there’s a poisoned apple, it’s the prince who eats it….

Watch | Plastic Memories

I have to admit, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Plastic Memories when I first watched it. Last year, I was giving the 2015 spring season’s titles a cursory run through of their first episodes to see which ones I would actually end up watching, and didn’t think highly of the first few…
