Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto Comic Review

comics

Color me pleasantly surprised then that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto is actually an earnest and enjoyable attempt at a crossover story. ― Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto is a mashup that has plenty of energy and fun for the time you'll spend with it.

novels

The Village Beyond the Mist is a beautiful example of late twentieth-century children’s fantasy, pulling readers into a strange but familiar world alongside its heroine. ― If you weren't told that Sachiko Kashiwaba's 1975 middle-grade novel was the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away, you wouldn't know. It's an even less obvious connection than How Do You Live?'s link to The Boy and the He...

Thunderbolt Fantasy Sword Seekers -The Finale- Movie Review

Oct 6, 12:00

anime

Thunderbolt Fantasy is more so going out with some sparks than a full-blown BANG. ― It took nearly a decade, but at long, bittersweet last, Thunderbolt Fantasy has finally reached its conclusion in this, its finale movie.

While I wouldn't call this a villainess story, Francesca does seem to view it as such by the end of the second volume. ― Touko Amekawa is no stranger to writing strong heroines who set out to get what they want. You may recognize her as the author of 7th Time Loop, a story about a young woman named Rishe determined to use her memories of her previous six lives to make her seventh one end the cycle of...
