Made in Abyss Collection Review

Made in Abyss is a very expressive adventure series with some dark twists and turns, using expansive world building, lush visuals and a great soundtrack to suck you into the depths of its titular abyss.

Granblue Fantasy Part 1 Review

Overall Granblue Fantasy is off to a good start. Admittedly the show has a few faults, and these are liable to drive some viewers away, but I believe that the impressive action scenes can overcome the problems. Existing fans of Granblue Fantasy, as well as fans of the fantasy genre as a whole, will no doubt find a lot to like here.

And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online? Review

And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online? is a show that sets out with silly comedy in mind but has the depth to both educate viewers and provide an enjoyable ride at the same time. Both fans of fantasy and slice of life series will get a lot out of the show!

Fruits Basket Collector’s Edition Review

Fruits Basket is a sweet shojo series with a loveable cast of characters. Anyone looking for a typical shojo series might be disappointed, but that doesn’t take away from the charm on offer here. It’s a great release that’s only brought down by the lack of romantic development and some terrible video issues.

God Eater – Part 2 Review

Ufotable brings more God Eater to our screens, adapted from the somewhat popular RPG game series. Characters wielding over-sized swords and guns fighting large CG monsters, plus an actual story and character development! But does it end on a good note? (well, as good of a note as a "most of the human race is dead" story can get...)
