The Misfit of Demon King Academy Volume 1 Review

The first volume of The Misfit of Demon King Academy is very much an introduction setting up the characters and the world around them. There’s nothing particularly special or gripping about it so far, but the class divide between the demons gives it something to differentiate it from other similar works and could make an interesting central plot line in the long run.

Radiant Season 1 Part 1 Review

Radiant is off to a decent start with its first part, even if it does play it a little too safe to stand out from other shonen series.

Fire Force Season 1 Part 1 Review

Fire Force is a pretty decent shonen action show that has some really great moments when it touches upon the danger and heroics of being a firefighter. However, it is spoiled by the overuse of foreshadowing and unnecessary fanservice.

The second English manga release is based on the second Danganronpa game - which is odd as the first Danganronpa 2 manga was a spin-off.

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.

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.
