Anime Review

BAKI Part 2 Review

BAKI continues to be a hyper-violent spectacle of muscle and gore. It's not to everyone's taste but if you're looking for some ludicrous action anime junk food to consume, then this might be what you're hungry for.

Love in Focus Volume 2 Review

Love in Focus hasn’t managed to break free of the tropes it started out with but it succeeds at being a fun read. Shojo fans will certainly enjoy their time spent with the likeable cast of characters, especially knowing that it’s a shorter series in the genre.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly Review

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is a thrilling action film, pitting Goku and Vegata against the hulking Broly with some great animation work and a solid backstory that eases in newcomers to the franchise. For all its outrageous action that fans will love, those coming into this fresh will find the elongated fight scenes go on for far too long, perhaps resulting in them switching off in its final moments.
