Seven Mortal Sins Review

A low budget affair, Seven Mortal Sins has plenty of fanservice that will please ecchi fans; however, there are plenty of other shows that better serve the series’ action and goofy comedy without the sex.

BAKI Part 1 Review

BAKI is a testosterone-fueled festival of muscle and violence but unfortunately the story in this first half can't match its intensity.

Katsugeki: Touken Ranbu takes a swashbuckling look at Japanese history as Sword Warriors are sent back to fight to preserve the past – but is this anime series as exciting a watch as the synopsis promises?

The Heroic Legend of Arslan Season 2: Dust Storm Dance Review

A sadly underwhelming follow up to a solid first season, The Heroic Legend of Arslan: Dust Storm Dance is largely a waste of time.

Even if this kind of music isn’t your bag, it is hard to feel downbeat after watching STARMYU.

Scum’s Wish Complete Collection Review

Scum’s Wish never puts a foot wrong in how it presents its story and characters. With a mature, in-depth look at love and lust, the series has much to show us. It’s thoughtful, emotional and incredibly insightful.

Vatican Miracle Examiner Review

Vatican Miracle Examiner promises intrigue and horror as two young priests investigate sinister goings-on in the twilight world of the occult. Delivering a gripping drama without toppling over into melodrama is a challenge – so is this anime TV series up to the job?

Dragon Ball Super – Part 6 Review

The Future Trunks arc comes to a swift close in Dragon Ball Super’s sixth part, and after it comes what can only be described as filler, even if it isn’t technically filling in time for any other reason than old habits, I guess. Is it good filler though? Well…

Naruto Shippuden – Box Set 35 Review

Naruto Shippuden’s 35th two-disc release is, to the surprise of literally no-one, almost entirely filler. Unlike the previous box set though, the single canon episode on this set is extremely significant. Can you bear thirteen filler episodes for the sake of one good one?

Overall, Granblue Fantasy remains a captivating watch right to the end. Although the animation issues prevent me from recommending it to everyone, I still believe there is a lot to like for those who can look past these issues.
