Dragon Ball Super – Part 8 Review

Dragon Ball used to have a reputation of it “just being people fighting”, which, while it was often close to that (particularly in the Z era) was never just people fighting… until now! Let’s have a look at the start of an 80-man Battle Royal, shall we?

Protagonist Rimuru is a lovable, friendly slime who just wants to live a peaceful life, but his adventures are anything but! Entertaining and memorable, this is a must-have for fans of the genre.

Eromanga Sensei Part 2 Review

Overall, Eromanga Sensei provides an entertaining watch right to the end. Although it won’t win over anyone who disliked the first half, it remains a fantastic comedy for those who are on-board. With a likeable cast of characters, insightful glimpses into the light novel industry and catchy opening/ending themes, this is a highly recommended watch!

Fate/Apocrypha – Part 1 Review

The first half of Fate/Apocrypha sets itself up as an exciting and tense action series, while also focusing on its deep and satisfying character relationships. With no ties to previous entries in the Fate universe, this also makes it a great place to start for newcomers.

Overlord III Review

Overlord III is stronger than the previous season in its approach to exploring its world and showcasing the advancements in Ainz's kingdom-building. Where its flaws lie are in some wonky CGI and a lack of tension in places due to Ainz's level of control.

Dragon Ball Super – Part 7 Review

Dragon Ball Super – Part 7 gets off to an exciting and high-impact start, before settling into a long stretch of what can only be described as filler, despite the series not being based on a manga… Is it still worth a watch though?

Eromanga Sensei Part 1 Review

Eromanga Sensei Part 1 offers an entertaining and lovable comedy about family and working in the light novel industry. While some viewers will be put off by a potential sibling romance, I hope they can still look past it to discover the genuinely great anime underneath.

Kokkoku: Moment by Moment Review

Kokkoku: Moment by Moment throws in a lot of interesting ideas around the consequences of stopping time, life and death amidst a cat-and-mouse game plot that sees one woman try to rescue her family from a crazed religious cult. However, it fails to execute on its potential as it struggles with poor pacing, gaping plot holes, and finding an ending for its characters.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Part 1 Review

While this might be the series that made Gundam popular in the USA, if you have seen the original 1979 series, then Gundam Wing feels rather repetitive.

While Dai Shogun's backstory speaks of some potential, it ends up going nowhere with its harem plot, with fanservice that is played too straight to be funny, while its animation leaves a lot to be desired.
