anime

While the ambitious effort here is laudable, it does not quite work because the script delves too deeply into scientific gobbledygook and gets too distracted by the movie also needing to be a visual spectacle. ― This 2019 movie is, essentially, a reinterpretation of the novel No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, one of the most important Japanese authors of the earlier 20th century. In moving the setting ...

The book is also interesting for its treatment of Yuka, a nonbinary character about whom no one really makes a fuss. ― Despite the title and a theme of art, this book has nothing to do with Picasso, which is good since I tend to agree with comedian Hannah Gadsby about him. What it does have is a story about a young man finding the place where he wants to belong – before discovering that he not only e...

The combination of brutal self-awareness and total delusion is what makes this novel work. ― If there's one thing Kunieda Kei knows about himself, it's that he's basically a jerk. He has been for most of his life; he just learned early on that if he acts differently around people, they'll like him, so from childhood he's perfected the art of having two faces, one private and one public. Between that ...

“Figuring out” is in many ways the actual theme of the series at this point. By the time we hit volumes three and four (where the story undergoes a slight tonal change) Toma is less of the jolly fellow we've mostly been involved with in the first two books. ― Blue Flag's first volume does something both unfortunate and surprising: it reveals the big twist right on the back copy. While it doesn't come...

13-year-old Seira Watanabe is a huge fan of Godzilla. She has watched all of his films, collected his merch, and can replicate his iconic cry. She thinks he's a hunk and keeps a notebook where she draws her ideal romantic situations with the kaijuu. On an episode of the Japanese variety show Knight Scoop, the young maiden got to go on her dream date with Godzilla. The off-beat romance played out o...
