Twin Star Exorcists Part 4 Review

While Twin Star Exorcists is not the greatest shonen anime out there, it can still be quite fun to watch, with Part 4 giving you a satisfying conclusion to the series despite some sketchier plot points.

King’s Game The Animation Review

King’s Game The Animation proves an entertaining entry in the horror genre. It has a reputation for being a terrible anime but, provided you don’t take it seriously, there is a compelling narrative to be found here.

Twin Star Exorcists Part 3 Review

The third part of Twin Star Exorcists remains a mixed bag, with the first half of the set being particularly underwhelming; however the second half is a marked improvement with more character development, a greater focus on the action and a jump up in the threat level of the villains.

How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Review

How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord is an entertaining isekai following what happens if you decide to summon a Demon Lord. Although the fan service will be too much for many, if you can look past that, there is a lovable cast of characters and an interesting story waiting for you.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion – Complete Series Collection Review

While it does have its faults, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is an anime series that has to be experienced to be believed: a frantic and breakneck rollercoaster of a show that just takes you along for the ride.

Zombie Land Saga: The Complete Series Review

Apart from a slight dip in its momentum towards the end, Zombie Land Saga is a runaway train of humour and emotion, taking an inspired idea of putting together idols and zombies and making it work with ease.

SSSS.Gridman: The Complete Series Review

SSSS.Gridman combines Studio Trigger’s trademark style and eccentricity with the absurdness and creativity of the tokusatsu genre. It remains faithful to the original 1990s TV series with the kaiju and the action sequences, while telling an engaging and heartfelt story with a strong cast of characters.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Part 2 Review

The second half of Gundam Wing aired at the same time as Neon Genesis Evangelion. Comparing the two, Gundam Wing starts to feel inferior.

Tokyo Ghoul: re Part 1 Review

Tokyo Ghoul: re Part 1 is a solid anime series that adequately adapts its source material but often lacks depth with its expansive cast and sacrifices story elements to fit a 12 episode run. It is arguably the most faithful adaptation the series has seen but at the loss of more stylistic flair, character development and world building.

Devils’ Line Complete Collection Review

Overall, Devils' Line is an enjoyable series if you’re interested in gory supernatural shows. It’s just a shame that its potential is let down by a frustratingly bland love interest who is in constant need of rescue. Fans of the manga will enjoy the adaption but newcomers are likely to bounce off.
