manga

There are multiple reasons why Sonoda’s Gunsmith Cats keeps getting re-published, and why it remains one of my very favorite manga of all time. ― Kenichi Sonoda's unmistakable art style helped fuel my initial intoxication with anime and manga. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with Appleseed's Masamune Shirow and Akira's Katsuhiro Otomo, Sonoda's perky girls with enormous eyes and gravity-defy...

anime

I doubt this season of 7th Prince is going to convert people who didn’t care for the first. ― On paper, I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability (henceforth 7th Prince) doesn't seem like the type of show that would benefit from having any given season focused on one singular story arc, as opposed to a small handful of shorter ones that last 1–4 episodes...

Not many manhwa of this sort bear comparing to Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s classic story The Yellow Wallpaper, but this one does. ― Princess Violet's life is no fairy tale, or at least not the cleaned-up Disney version of one. After a happy childhood as the only daughter of the royal family, she's essentially sold in marriage to an illegitimate scion of Duke Blooming's family, who will gain a legitima...

anime

Isekai Quartet The Movie: Another World is clearly made by a group of people who have an insanely in-depth knowledge of all the series they're combining. ― When it comes down to it, the main selling point of Isekai Quartet as a whole is watching characters from across entirely different series interact—and often in comical ways. Does this film do this as well as the TV series? The answer is a simple ...
