I watched the TV adaptation of Snowpiercer out of surprise. I wasn’t that up to date with new TV series, so I was surprised when I saw it as a recommended title on Netflix (which is apparently where I do all my watching now). I loved the original Snowpiercer film by director Bong Joon-ho, so…

Watch | Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap
I’m glad that Netflix is expanding their roster of Filipino titles. Otherwise, I wouldn’t come across options like Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap. When cinemas were still open, there were less Filipino titles shown compared to foreign options and the ones that generate the most interest are made by already established or successful film outfits. Ang…
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 | Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
I’ll admit it. The “Volcano Man” music video was the sole reason why I watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. It was quirky enough to catch my attention, and the commitment of stars Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams to their performance made me very curious to watch it. Lars Erickssong (Ferrell) is…
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 | A Whisker Away
When I first saw its trailer, I felt like A Whisker Away is my kind of anime. Sure, I appreciate and will watch all anime given the chance, but when it comes to the film format, I prefer the whimsical variety with a softer approach to its animation. There’s a guarantee that the story is…
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 | His Dark Materials Season 1
When film and TV series adaptations of books are announced, there’s usually a mix of excitement and anxiety for readers. A good adaptation means that the story you love will be shared to more people, but a bad one will hurt your case in getting more people to read the source material. And I’m sure…
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…
