Cat's Eye Episode 7-12 Anime Series Review

Mar 2, 12:00
1 comment
anime
What we got certainly wasn't bad, but it was also fairly forgettable, and for a new interpretation of an old classic, it's hard to think of a more disappointing outcome than that. ― I walked away from the first half of the Cat's Eye remake feeling mostly unimpressed, as the combination of its bland capers and even blander central romance didn't leave a whole lot to latch onto. To its credit, the seco...

Always a Catch! Volumes 2-5 Manga Review

At its heart, this is a romp of a story about an atypical young lady bulldozing her way through the world. ― If I had to sum Always a Catch up in the easiest way possible, I would say that it's May I Ask for One Final Thing? but with a heroine who is as goofy as possible. Like Scarlet, Maria “Mimi” Annovazzi is as strong as she can be and has an incredible skill for punching people, but she lacks Sca...

Mario Tennis Fever won’t turn up the heat for everybody, but it could be sick as hell for the folks who play the game competitively. ― First and foremost, I should note that Nintendo and Camelot Software's Mario Tennis Fever is, for all intents and purposes, a fighting game. There's a story mode and various trial modes to help new players learn the controls. The many characters that make up this game...

The show went out on a limb and took a big swing for some heavy subject matter. ― Season one of Puniru is a Kawaii Slime was pretty solid. In a lot of ways, the show felt very nostalgic from its setup, to its comedy, to its animation. Season two continues many of the elements I enjoyed about the show before.
