Oct 27, 11:00

anime

Is it your eyes, your TV, or Crunchyroll's business decisions making this season's subtitles a bit of a mess? Answerman digs in. ― A Reader asks: Q: "Is it just my eyes, or are subtitles getting smaller?" No, it's not your eyes. I have often thought the same thing, after my own traumatic experience managing the UK home video campaign of Evangelion 3.33: You (Cannot) Release. Sorry! What? That's not ...

Miru: Paths To My Future Anime Series Review

Oct 26, 12:00

1 comment

anime

Mostly, MIRU is a fairly disposable anthology, yet it is far better than I expected a corporate advertisement to be. ― Although initially released in Japan in April 2025, this five-episode sci-fi anthology oddity didn't show up to stream worldwide until late September. It allegedly appeared slightly earlier on Samsung's proprietary streaming platform in the US, but as probably only five people watche...
