Perfect World Volume 2 Review

Perfect World Volume 2 is filled with new plot threads, but manages to flesh them out well. Just like the first instalment, this one is a difficult read due to the depressing nature of the content, but it’s engrossing all the same. If you enjoyed Volume 1, then you’re likely to enjoy this one too.

O Maidens in Your Savage Season Collection Review

O Maidens in Your Savage Season is a highly recommendable watch. If you already know and love the original manga series, then you certainly shouldn’t hesitate in picking the anime up. Even without prior knowledge of the series, if you like Mari Okada’s blend of whacky teenagers and heartfelt coming of age stories, then this is the anime for you.

Spy x Family Volume 2 Review

The first volume of Spy x Family was a wicked delight, filled with subterfuge, dark humour and double-bluffs. So does the second volume live up to the promise of the first?

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid – The Complete Series Review

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is a slice-of-life comedy that is both very funny and very relaxing to watch. These types of shows don’t come up very often these days, so if you’ve been craving something like it, then it’ll definitely scratch that itch.

The Daily Lives of High School Boys Volume 1 Review

My overall first impressions of the first volume of The Daily Lives of High School Boys are very positive as it delivers a unique brand of humour which has left me enthusiastic for the next volume’s worth of laughs and bizarre scenarios.

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Volume 4 Review

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest continues to be a wonderful addition to the franchise. While this volume shows signs of the plot becoming unwieldy, it does also make great use of Fairy Tail members who aren’t in Natsu’s party. Fans of the series will certainly be happy with the developments this time around.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans – Part 1 Review

While this first half of Iron-Blooded Orphans does have its flaws, Mari Okada and Tatsuyuki Nagai's unique and distinct take on the Gundam franchise emerges as extremely dark, profusely political, and brutally bloody.

This new release of Chobits is not only a beautifully put-together book, with a new, more faithful translation, but is also a wonderful celebration of one of CLAMP's most interesting and provocative, if flawed, works.

The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest Volume 1 Review

The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest proves a highly entertaining read with some impressive artwork. While there are unanswered questions as to why our protagonist wanted to be reincarnated in the first place, it’s hard to deny that the fun the manga offers outweighs this minor detail.

Eureka Seven: Hi-Evolution Anemone Review

Eureka Seven: Hi-Evolution Anemone is an interesting film. At times superbly done, others, very confusing and jarring to the new viewer. Now then, let’s PLAY FOR- oh wait, we’re not doing that in this film? Phew

Mysteria Friends Review

While being connected to the Rage of Bahamut mobile game presents a barrier to entry, and its very slow, methodical pace may bore some viewers, Mysteria Friends is a beautiful slice-of-life series with a surprisingly wholesome yet playful take on the yuri genre.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations – Set 4 Review

Boruto returns for his fourth batch of episodes on Blu-ray here in the UK, bringing with him a partial focus on a few of his allies, which is refreshing! That being said, if you are expecting that means the story seen here diverges from the usual plot points found in Naruto/Boruto, you might be disappointed…
