Mega-hit My Hero Academia returned for its fourth season roughly a year ago on TV and has finally made its way to physical media. Does the latest go-around live up to all the lofty expectations held by fans? Well, for this half anyway, I can say a resounding “Yes”.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Part 1 Review

A decent story where Kirito is in a virtual world in which time moves at a different pace is once again overshadowed by writer Reki Kawahara's use of a violent rape scene.

New Game! + New Game!! – Seasons 1 & 2 Review

While New Game! might not be the critical assessment of the games industry that some might have hoped for, it is just a very fun and heart-warming slice of life comedy about a group of young women who make video games.

Fairy Gone: Season 1 Part 1 Review

While there are good things to take away from this first half of Fairy Gone, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, throwing in too many plot threads and ideas, becoming unfocused and confusing.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Film + OVAs Collector’s Edition Review

While the included series recap OVAs are a vast disappointment, A Wakening of the Trailblazer is a good take on an alien invasion story with 00’s trademark action sequences.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Part 2 Review

The second part of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is a rollercoaster ride into hell, filled with intense action sequences and tender moments with its strong, tight-knit cast of characters. While it may lack the finesse of the first part’s drama and plot development, this is overall one of the strongest entries in the Gundam franchise.

O Maidens in Your Savage Season Collection Review

O Maidens in Your Savage Season is a highly recommendable watch. If you already know and love the original manga series, then you certainly shouldn’t hesitate in picking the anime up. Even without prior knowledge of the series, if you like Mari Okada’s blend of whacky teenagers and heartfelt coming of age stories, then this is the anime for you.
