That's not a censure so much as it is a regret, because while there are still double-ent...

Whether you see A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow as a romantic story or not, it does a lovely job of exploring not just the relationship between its two leads but does the same for each of them as individuals as well. ― The fifth volume of A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow is almost entirely devoid of Konatsu's presence. For a series that's built on the growing relationship between two girls, that's a r...

Where the show really succeeds, however, is in truly separating itself from the norms of magical girl series. ― While Healin' Good PreCure is the third Pretty Cure series to become available in English, it is the first to stream as it aired in Japan, albeit starting after the first cour.
