There are some major franchise returns to report this week, from .hack to God of War and beyond! ― Welcome back, folks!

Feb 20, 09:00
4 comments
industry
There have been numerous horror stories about working as a newbie animator in Japan—namely, the inability to earn a living wage.

April Showers Bring May Flowers Anime Series Review

Feb 18, 12:00 anime
With the deliberate pacing of the romance plot, there's plenty of room for character introspection. ― No one in April Showers Bring May Flowers is perfect.

There's a tendency in this style of high school romance to make a few people seem larger than life, as if their outer beauty reflects an inner saintliness that ma...
