Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota Anime Series Review
I wanted a spin on the usual “opposites attract” story, and that’s exactly what I got. Perhaps I wanted it a little too much.
― I feel like I was the only person on the face of the Earth who was the least bit excited for Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota. Why not? I enjoyed the first episode enough, with its solid direction and its spin on the archetypal “opposites attract” premise. He's an ...

Alice in Wonderland: Dive in Wonderland Film Review
This modernized film of Alice in Wonderland is pleasant in places, but it's too mediocre to justify a cinema release.
― Maybe you've had the experience of waking in the early morning, turning on the TV, hopping channels, and stumbling on a kids' fantasy cartoon that you've not seen before; not a TV episode but a stand-alone cartoon special or film. Honestly, it's not a great cartoon in terms of its s...
Hell Mode Volumes 2-3 Light Novel Review
In a word, Hell Mode has thus far been tedious.
― I get what Hell Mode is going for by having its protagonist—a 35-year-old gamer named Kenichi, who's renamed Allen upon his waking up in this new world—reincarnated into this generic RPG world as a baby.
