anime

The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? is one of the most important films in anime history, but this new 4K restoration might not be the release it deserves. ― If you're around anime old heads for long enough, there's a good chance you'll eventually hear about the mythical year of 1984—a year that wowed audiences with now-timeless classics like Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ...

From dungeons to Joseon, come find your next read with our March roundup of the most interesting new K-comics! ― March is the proverbial month of lions and lambs, but the K-comics that are debuting don't necessarily follow that pattern. If anything, it's almost all lions, although that may be because the major flavor of comics on the sites/apps that are available in English is “spicy romance.” But th...

Demon Lord 2099 Anime Review

Mar 27, 12:00

8 comments

anime

Hung around the skeleton of established genre tropes is an engaging cyberpunk mystery. ― The greatest praise I can come up with for Demon Lord 2099 is that it's solid. Every aspect of it is competently executed, without any one part that really stands out from the others for better or for worse. The peaks are more like gently sloping knolls, and the valleys are slight dips. It is, to be honest, like ...

With You, Our Love Will Make It Through isn’t for everyone, but if it’s in your area of interest, I think it does a good enough job. ― Yes, this is a furry romance manga, and yes, it fits the criteria for young adult fiction. But those two things don't need to be either mutually exclusive or a terrible warning, and to be perfectly honest, any reservations I have about this story don't arise from the ...

If you’re in the mood for an equal parts horny and canned romcom light novel with a zombie flavor, you might have fun with this one.
