Garrison Girl Review

Garrison Girl is yet another entry in this huge franchise that deserves to be in any fan’s collection. Garrison Girl is everything I find fascinating about Attack on Titan in one gripping instalment.

Hanamonogatari Review

Hanamonogatari was a huge disappointment coming off the back of some incredible stories in this franchise. Kanbaru fans will likely get a lot more out of this book than I did, but otherwise there isn't a great deal to like here.

Grand Blue Dreaming Volume 1 Review

Despite some reservations about where the plot is going and any romantic pursuits it has in mind, I find myself thinking fondly of Grand Blue Dreaming. With its anime now airing, this is a good a time as any to jump on board this wacky comedy!

A nice chance to relive the first series of the romantic comedy, through the delusional eyes of Rikka Takanashi.

Pokemon Movie 14-16 Collection: Black & White Review

Overall Pokémon Black & White Movie Collection is a mixed bag. Older Pokémon fans like me will be left wanting for much better content and days gone by when Pokémon movies were actively good, but the younger/newer audience are more likely to get a kick out of Ash’s latest adventures.

Fate/Extra Last Encore Episodes 1 – 10 Review (Streaming)

Fate/Extra Last Encore is an unusual addition to the Fate anime line-up so far - however it's worth the time to stream if you’re a Fate fan and keep your expectations low.

Tokyo Ghoul Live Action Review

Overall this live action adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul is an enjoyable watch. It doesn’t necessarily have the same pull as the original manga or its anime adaption but for existing fans it’s interesting to see the story adapted in a different way.

Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto review

The delays in releasing this were far from perfect, but the title character is certainly perfection personified.

Occultic;Nine Part 2 Review

Overall, Occultic;Nine continues to be a show that I can’t recommend to everyone. I think sci-fi fans will likely get a lot out of it, and the gripping nature of the story will pull you in. Just don’t look too hard at the story or it’ll give way beneath you.

Tokyo Tarareba Girls Volume 1 Review

Overall, Tokyo Tarareba Girls is a fun read with an interesting concept behind it. While I’m not necessarily its target audience, fans of Princess Jellyfish and Higashimura’s other works will no doubt find a new favourite here.

Girlish Number Review

Girlish Number is a fun and exciting look into what it means to be a voice actor. While the story isn’t always realistic, it’s so enjoyably crazy that it really doesn’t matter.

Night is Short, Walk on Girl Review

Night is Short is a real treat for fans of Tatami Galaxy, but even if you’re a newcomer there is definitely plenty to enjoy here. With a quirky and whimsical way of storytelling, the film is sure to win your heart.

Kabukimonogatari Review

Overall Kabukimonogatari was a real delight. While the series continues to be consistently interesting from volume to volume, this one tries to do something a little bit different and that works well for it.
