Kill Blue Anime Series Review

What starts as promising, explosive fun fizzles out very quickly due to smudgy art, lackluster action, and stretched-out middle school hijinks that amount to nothing. ― Although I wasn't in love with it, I'll admit that Kill Blue's opening five-volume suite still made for an enjoyable read. Throwing in middle school sports with a hitman story made for an awkward clash at times, but what else could ha...

From the moment the Brimmed Cap gave Coco the spellbook and wand, Witch Hat Atelier has been about who is allowed to learn and what they’re allowed to do with that knowledge. ― Any soul out there who tries to restrict the things you learn is only doing it to keep you square under their thumb.

Jul 27, 10:00

anime

Appearances aren't everything, but in a visual medium like anime, they're still pretty important. A design can tell audiences a lot about a character, giving them an idea or an expectation before their personality is expressed. This is why character designs for anime are often revealed quite in advance of the series itself premiering, and the girls of MewType from BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA are no exception.
