Studio Ponoc's first film takes the studio and the year off to a good start, but there is room for improvement.
If you have any interest in the events of World War II, "In This Corner of the World" is a title I'd highly recommend, both the movie and the manga.
Get your anime history books out, because Tuesday will be the start of a new chapter. If you keep good tabs on anime news, you hopefully already know what Tuesday will bring. If you don’t, it’s when Skip Beat! goes live on Indiegogo for a US release. Be it successful or […]
One of only three anime series to earn a Masterpiece rating in my book, Your Lie In April is a depressing, yet beautiful series that anyone should watch. Mild spoilers inside.
If you’re a long-time reader, you probably already know that I hate being asked what my favorite anime is. However, sometimes picking a favorite anime of the current season is a bit easier. Now to be fair, while I do have a Funimation subscription too, I’ve only been paying attention […]
At long last, we finally have a new, feature-length Ghost in the Shell movie. And it’s literally called The New Movie. An equally bad but more accurate title is Ghost in the Shell ARISE: The Movie. Now, I wasn’t even aware there was a new GiTS movie coming out until Funimation sent out an email […]
Earlier this week, as part of a competition Crunchyroll is running, I released a video to YouTube talking about what Crunchyroll means to me. In case you haven’t seen it, here it is: However, having just renewed my Premium subscription for the fifth year in a row, there is much […]
With the full title of The Tale of The Princess Kagugya, Kaguya may well be the most beautiful film of the year. Perhaps more important is the fact Kaguya shows very clearly Studio Ghibli is doing just fine Post-Miyazaki. In fact, if you asked me what my favorite Ghibli film […]
While in a lot of cases anime reuses the same element(s) over and over again (search YouTube for Every Anime Opening Ever Made), there are some series that stand out among others. You can have a series that looks great, but it can have a terrible story and/or English dub. […]
If you were to take a look at the anime I own or have rented, there’s a good chance you’d notice a couple of patterns. Welcome To Irabu’s Office falls under two: Psychology and noitaminA. Those two reasons made me pick me up from the library. Now, before I go […]
In case you missed it, Madman has an awesome lineup in store for anime in February. Kicking off the month is the third Madoka Magica movie, Rebellion, which is showing on both the 1st and 2nd of the month at Cinema Nova. It looks like additional showings were also now added due to […]
It’s no secret I love anime. It’s slightly less known that I browse Kickstarter- a lot. But today I’d like to talk about both. Anime is slowly finding its way on to Kickstarter, and I welcome it. Now, by “slowly”, I mean only four (by my count) have tried it. […]
Seriously, please don’t. It’s a question I actually hate getting asked. Wait, hate? Why? Don’t you watch a lot of anime? Well, I would say I watch “a fair bit”. Given that I’ve only been doing it for three years and the only “classic” I’ve seen is Evangelion, I think […]
Even though I watch quite a lot of anime, I very rarely review it. While I do hope to eventually review every series and movie I’ve watched, by the time one series has ended – which is when I prefer to write a review – at least five new ones […]
