Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk Anime Series Review

Jul 31, 12:00

13 comments

anime

More than just alcohol, this anime indulges in a cinematic style that makes for an absolutely sublime watch. ― On paper, Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk sounds like a very tired concept: another round of cute girls going to tourist destinations together, with globs of yuri mixed in for some additional flavoring. And let's 80 proof it by making alcohol a gimmick here. In the wrong hands, this ...

It's official! As of the sixth episode of BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA, Ritsu will be joining her childhood friend Arale and the other members of MewType in the band. Ritsu is leaving behind an extremely dangerous dynamic with her previous group Fairy Bouquet and chief series antagonist Viola, which can and will spell conflict going forward, but it also means that Ritsu now has a whole new group of decidedly more accommodating associates.

Kill Blue Anime Series Review

anime

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...
