anime

Futari wa Pretty Cure may be where the franchise started, but this is where it starts to hit its stride. ― Each season of the greater Pretty Cure franchise typically brings something new to the table. That all begins with Pretty Cure Splash Star. The second team of Cures may have looked awfully similar to the first, but this latter half of their story cements them as not only very much their own team...

It won't be topping any “best of the season” lists but it should be enjoyable to anyone who likes the non-revenge-focused “kicked out of the heroes' party” stories. ― The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows is an upcoming spring 2025 anime series.

Mar 5, 12:00

anime

Even a thrown-in novelty like a harem of moeblobs can’t save Loner Life from having all of the hang-ups you’d expect out of a generic isekai. ― Just one look at the trailer and the key visual and you can already tell that Loner Life is going to be another run-of-the-mill isekai. I'd be willing to bet you can even tell where its strengths and weaknesses lie as well. To be fair, the music isn't bad,...
