Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk Anime Series Review

Jul 31, 12:00 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 ...

Like many people, I've been keeping my ears open regarding the new Project R.E.D. series, Kakusei Hunter Omegahorn. It's very unique as a tokusatsu series; our protagonist summons giant kaiju to fight each other, while summoning other kaiju (and his spaceship) to serve as extra weapons. It...

Exploring the Character Dynamics Between Ritsu and the Band in BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA

Jul 31, 10:00 anime

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

Jul 29, 12:00

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...

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.
