anime

Whoever Steals This Book is, unfortunately, one of those films that is 100% style over substance. ― Whoever Steals This Book is a film filled to the brim with imagination. Mifuyu's adventure takes her into wonderfully realized storybook worlds. There's a Japanese fairy tale filled with surreal visuals, a noir detective story portrayed with a black and white color palette and film grain over the top, ...

My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending Volumes 1-2 Manga Review

Jan 14, 12:00 manga

Kazuki is a very boring, nothing character that is strictly driven by his survival and he needs to spend most of the story riding a very thin line. ― On the one end, I do appreciate a series that really likes to just cut out all the fat.
