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.

Dai Shogun – Great Revolution Review

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.

DARLING in the FRANXX Part 2 Review

Overall, Darling in the Franxx offers an exciting sci-fi mecha series that, while let down by a confused ending, aims to entertain. It’s not the best Studio Trigger anime by a long way, but if you enjoyed the first half then you’ll undoubtedly find something to like here.

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 Review

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 is… not the final release of the series, despite the first volume of its sequel series being released after it. What Box 37 IS though is the final few episodes of adapted manga material, and the finale of the long… LONG Fourth Great Shinobi War story arc. How does it hold up? Well…

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card – Part 2 Review

The second part of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card combines the core elements of the franchise with a darker and more mysterious tone that gives it its own unique feel. It's truly a deserving successor to a much-loved legacy and I can’t wait to see where CLAMP takes it next.

Welcome to the Ballroom: Part 1 Review

Welcome to the Ballroom applies the sports anime formula to competitive ballroom dancing with great success, filling the screen with beautiful dance work and character drama. Despite Anime Limited's release being very bare-bones, this is show anyone can have a lot of fun with.
