Lynzee suits up for her maiden voyage aboard White Base and now she never wants to leave. ― Happy Friday, 'Loggers! I'm back after a brief hiatus that involved a two-week stint in Japan to cover the AnimeJapan event, attend no less than 20 meetings, and venture out to an animation studio to film and interview some pretty prominent veterans (keep an eye out for that). In the midst of my journey, I th...

Even Given the Worthless "Appraiser" Class, I'm Actually the Strongest Anime Series Review

Apr 18, 12:00

anime

With yet another RPG power fantasy at the helm, what you see is what you get, but what you’re getting ain’t half-bad either. ― Sometimes I feel like fantasy RPG anime was on the tape in Infinite Jest. With so many of these shows pumped out per year, it feels like an onslaught we're forced to watch until the point of collapse. It's so easy to become cynical and jaded by it all. So when the first bit o...

Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation Anime Series Review

anime

It’s almost impressive how simultaneously over- and under-explained this series can be. ― I'm unsure whether or not this applies to the visual novels they're based on, but as far as the anime goes, Phantom Trigger is something of a black sheep among the various Fruit of Grisaia titles. “Phantom Trigger just isn't as good,” you'll often hear Grisaia fans say some version of, “And I don't like the main...

Despite a slow start and some structural weaknesses, Mifuyu and Mashiro’s adventures through books, curses, and family secrets build to an engrossing, action-packed YA fantasy. ― Part fantasy, part mystery, this young adult novel belongs to a subgenre of stories about getting literally “sucked into” a book, with a couple key distinguishing traits. First, instead of the protagonist going into the stor...

Promise of Wizard Anime Series Review

Apr 15, 12:00

anime

It doesn’t take long to realize that there’s not a helluva lot of things promising about this wizard show. ― Promise of Wizard is an anime so sluggish that it robs itself of any opportunity to be enchanting. Not even the wizard's ball that happens halfway through has any sense of glittery whimsiness. With the plot and animation trudging along at a snail's pace, it feels like nothing is going on. Ther...
