Orange: Future Review

Orange: Future proves itself to be a worthy continuation of the original series. Filled with the same attention to detail and sensitive approach to difficult topics, this volume is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of Orange.

Grimgar: Ashes & Illusions Collector’s Edition Review

Overall Grimgar: Ashes &Illusions might seem like just another entry in an overcrowded genre but thanks to some quality writing and love from A-1 Pictures, it stands out as one of the best. Even if you’re feeling burnt out on isekai titles, I’d strongly recommend that you give Grimgar a chance.

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, Part 2 Review

Despite some exciting sequences, much of the second part of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ drags as much as the first.

Sword of the Stranger Collector’s Edition Review

Overall Sword of the Stranger is a bit of a mixed bag. The story, animation and cast are a strong point - if you can overlook the predictable path of the plot - but the music really lets things down. This isn’t a must-watch for anyone but could still be a hidden gem for BONES.

Fairy Tail Collection 21 Review

This penultimate Fairy Tail collection is at times both overdramatic and anticlimactic.

Girls und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle! Review

A nice episode, but it should have been released with the other OVA rather than on its own.

Hyouka Part 1 Review

With a lovable cast of characters, superb animation, and a real attention to detail, Hyouka comes highly recommended by me. It might sound boring on the surface but give it a try and you’ll find something truly fascinating.

To Your Eternity Volume 1 Review

To Your Eternity might not succeed in being the follow-up to A Silent Voice I was hoping for, but with such well-drawn artwork it's certainly worth owning if you're a fan of Yoshitoki Oima's work.

Fire Force Volume 1 Review

Overall I found Fire Force a bland, unengaging and often boring story. The synopsis led me to believe I was in for a much more interesting series than what we have.

Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You Theatrical Review

Overall, Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You is a real treat for fans of the series. While there are certainly issues that bring it down somewhat, these can be overlooked. Undoubtedly this is one of the best Pokémon movies in quite some time.

Lu Over the Wall Theatrical Review

Lu Over the Wall is a fantastic, family-friendly, magical adventure that will capture your heart. It has something for everyone: older viewers will be enthralled by the character development and messages of using music to convey feelings, while younger viewers will fall in love with Lu and her childish antics.

Otome Mania!! Volume 1 Review

While Otome Mania!! might not be a particularly realistic look at the games industry, it’s still an interesting story with a fun cast of characters. If you’re looking for a shojo series set within the world of otome game development, then this book will be perfect for you.
