A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School! Anime Series Review

Apr 7, 12:00

6 comments

anime

Protagonist Haruaki Abe is the worst thing about this series. ― Sometimes a series' greatest detriment is the very character meant to be our window into its world. That's one hundred percent the case with A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School. Protagonist Haruaki Abe is the worst thing about the twenty-four-episode show. Not only is he screechy and whiny, he's also got a uniform fetish that the plot tr...

Hajime no Ippo: Rising Anime Series Review

Apr 6, 12:00

4 comments

anime

The show may not be perfect and we may not get another Hajime no Ippo anime but this is a great note to end it on. ― I was a little disappointed with the second season of Hajime no Ippo for taking the focus away from our main character and putting it almost exclusively on the messy, drawn-out nature of the larger boxing world. Hajime no Ippo: Rising scales back that scope, which initially sounds like...

Aldnoah.Zero [Re+] Anime Film Review

Apr 5, 12:00

12 comments

anime

This film is worth watching for the new episode alone. As for the compilation film attached to it... ― When it comes to many mecha anime, the protagonist is the pilot of some special or powerful mobile suit and uses it to turn the tide in a war (often one between Earth and space). Aldoah.Zero is the reverse of this. Rather than the heroes, it is the villains who have Gundam-like mobile suits powered ...

Macross 7 the Movie: The Galaxy is Calling Me and Macross Dynamite 7 OVAs 1-4 Anime Streaming Review

Apr 4, 12:00

4 comments

anime

Macross Dynamite 7’s aesthetic is of its time, and it looks great. ― In terms of sheer volume of content, Macross 7 easily beats any of its franchise stablemates. At 49 TV episodes, the three-part Encore OVAs (bundled with the TV show on Hulu/Disney+), a short 1995 theatrical movie – The Galaxy is Calling Me, and the four-part Dynamite 7 OVA, that's a lot of one particular Macross flavor. If you didn...
