Macross 7 Episodes 1–26 Anime Streaming Review

This lighter, sillier tone feels like the entire series was made as a prolonged shitpost poking fun at the seriousness of the prior Macross franchise entries, and I am absolutely here for it. ― This is the series I've been waiting thirty years to watch officially in English, and it's finally here (at least if you live in non-U.S. English-speaking territories). I'm more than a little sad that it's me ...

Tasokare Hotel – Episodes 1-3 Review (Press Screening)

Dec 23, 12:00 anime

This is a series that will live or die based on how interesting the “mysteries of the week” are—and how invested we become in the overarching mysteries of those working at the hotel. ― Without question, the biggest thing Tasokare Hotel has going for it is its fantastic setting. It's full of the outright supernatural—i.e., bedrooms changing shape when no one is looking to help jog the memories of thei...

Vinland Saga Season 2 Blu-ray Anime Series Review

Dec 22, 12:00

While this Blu-ray release is incredibly lacking, Vinland Saga season 2 is as good as it gets. ― I haven't seen a lot of anime/read a lot of manga that hit me even half as hard as Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. And season 2—often called the farm arc, slave arc, and/or Ketil's Farm arc—is arguably the strongest part of that punch. Or—actually, it doesn't feel thematically right to call it a “punch” i...

Re:Anima tamps down any hope that it'll do much that's new with its familiar-feeling ideas. So far, it seems happy to be one more genre potboiler, to take or to leave. ― The kindest way to describe this science-fiction action manga is as competently average. It's a likable, lightweight read, with lively action scenes, but the first book is also laughably tropey and flimsy. The book has a note from cr...
