Anime Review

An infamous romantic comedy anime that will no doubt raise eyebrows. Join us as we investigate whether MVM's rowdy and raunchy Monster Musume is a wonderful life with Monster Girls!

Overall, Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You is a real treat for fans of the series. While there are certainly issues that bring it down somewhat, these can be overlooked. Undoubtedly this is one of the best Pokémon movies in quite some time.

The Legendary Super Saiyan known as Broly is, undoubtedly, the most Marmite character in the Dragon Ball franchise. The phrase “you either love him or hate him” may as well be made for him, as seemingly most fans land on one side or the other, but does the truth lie somewhere in the middle? Let’s take a look at Manga Entertainment’s 5th movie collection, bringing together all three of Broly’s movies, and see, shall we?

Kakegurui is completely shameless in its fanservice, unsubtle handling of the negative affects of gambling, and utterly unapologetic about its ruthlessly psychotic characters and its ridiculous premise - and that’s exactly why the series is so enjoyable

Orange: Future proves itself to be a worthy continuation of the original series. Filled with the same attention to detail and sensitive approach to difficult topics, this volume is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of Orange.

Overall Grimgar: Ashes &Illusions might seem like just another entry in an overcrowded genre but thanks to some quality writing and love from A-1 Pictures, it stands out as one of the best. Even if you’re feeling burnt out on isekai titles, I’d strongly recommend that you give Grimgar a chance.

Matoi the Sacred Slayer provides a heart-warming and fun ride for those who are willing to ride out the poor opening episodes.

We finally come to (not quite) the end of Fairy Tail.

Dragon Ball Super’s second TV release features the final episode of the Battle of Gods arc before quickly shifting over to a retelling of the Resurrection F film… so, the series still doesn’t offer much new to fans who already own the Blu-rays of the latest DBZ films, but there are some differences between the two versions of Frieza’s return…

For Tokyo Ghoul fans, this will provide an entertaining ride with interesting visuals and good acting that tries to bring the story alive, even if it doesn’t always succeed.

Just in case you thought there wouldn’t be enough Dragon Ball coverage here at Anime UK News, we have a slightly belated look at the second volume of the Dragon Ball Super manga, released here in the UK on the 28th of December (and therefore taking a long time to reach my house through holiday post…) Two universes collide in a tournament with… actually no real stakes, this time…

DBZ Movie Collection 4, awkwardly collecting Movies 7 and 9 (leaving 8 to be paired with the other two Broly movies… next month!), is full of good action and loosely defined villains, as well as Androids and … very on-the-nose Space Pirates! Who doesn’t want to watch those?!

Despite some exciting sequences, much of the second part of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ drags as much as the first.

The combination of beguilingly attractive art and an intriguing story concept in Rihito Takarai's 'Graineliers' will appeal to readers in search of something truly 'different'.

Attack on Titan: No Regrets is a must-own for all Attack on Titan fans. The chance to get a glimpse into Levi’s background is a welcome one and being able to see it all in full colour is a real treat.

Overall Sword of the Stranger is a bit of a mixed bag. The story, animation and cast are a strong point - if you can overlook the predictable path of the plot - but the music really lets things down. This isn’t a must-watch for anyone but could still be a hidden gem for BONES.
