Bye Bye, Earth Episode 11-20 Anime Series Review

Jun 16, 12:00

7 comments

anime

Nonsensical as this twenty-episode fever-dream of a show is, I can’t deny the potency of its mad imagery. ― After finishing the second half of LIDEN FILMS utterly inscrutable anime adaptation of Tow Ubukata's Bye Bye, Earth novel series, I had to lie down for an hour so that my poor, confused brain could attempt to parse all that it had experienced. I don't know whether that helped, but the color-dre...

Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! Volume 1 Novel Review

novels

This is, at its heart, a send-up of otoge isekai. ― No matter where you trace it back to, the subgenre of isekai where someone is reborn in the world of, specifically, an otome game, has become popular. It's not as well-loved (strictly in terms of popularity) as villainess or OP isekai, but there are enough stories that use it as a setting to make it deserving of its specific subgenre. It's got a bit...

Puniru Is a Kawaii Slime is throwback to the mid-late 2000s, when we had an abundance of slice of life comedies focusing on a tsundere boy and an overly hyperactive girl. ― In a lot of ways, you could consider Puniru Is a Cute Slime as a throwback to the mid-late 2000s when we had an abundance of slice of life comedies focusing on a tsundere boy and an overly hyperactive girl.

Manie Manie: Neo Tokyo Anime Film Review

This collection still stands tall as a time capsule for an essential era in the history of Japanese anime. ― It's always wonderful when classic, out-of-print anime make their way onto legal streaming services. While a full-blown restoration on a nice home-media format would obviously be ideal, the fact that we can sit here in the year 2025 and watch Manie Manie: Neo Tokyo at all is something to be th...
