Hirayasumi Anime Promises a Cute Slice of Ordinary Life
Keigo Shinzō's award-winning manga's soft line work and rounded designs, along with the watercolor backgrounds of its cover art, translate perfectly to animation.
― When the Japan Society announced it would be screening “a preview version” of the first episode of Hirayasumi “still undergoing finishing touches,” my mind leapt to the legendary work-in-progress screening of Beauty and the Beast at the 1...

Akane-banashi Volumes 4-6 Manga Review
How does Akane fare in her debut as a true working woman in the rakugo world? Spoiler: Badly.
― Volume four is where I truly fell in love with Akane-banashi, for one specific reason: Issho Arakawa.

Dramatic Road: the origin of wind Game Review
Dramatic Road isn't just a modern-day Fire Emblem. It's specifically a high school delinquent saga inspired by classics like Bari Bari Densetsu.

Part of Her World: Anime and Manga Visions of The Little Mermaid
Rebecca swims through anime and manga history to reach the depths of its mermaid fascination.
― Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 literary fairy tale wasn't necessarily a natural fit for Japan. Japanese mermaids, as readers of Rumiko Takahashi know, are more likely to grant immortality if you consume their flesh than to fall in love with a human. But the strange metamorphosis of storytelling can always ...
Pokémon Horizons: Season 3 - Rising Hope Part 4 Anime Series Review
What makes this final batch of episodes so strong is that almost everybody gets a moment to shine or a moment of introspection.
― It's wild how far Pokémon Horizons has come. This final batch of episodes feels like the climax of this time skip and the entire Pokémon Horizons series. While some things are glossed over or could've received more focus, I genuinely believe this might be one of the strong...
