Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You Season 1 Anime Review

Jun 23, 12:00

anime

The anime's presentation lets down what is otherwise a good story. ― Even though I am a self-described (and other-described) Book Person, I try very hard not to get too caught up in the idea that the originating novel or manga is always going to be better than the TV adaptation. But sometimes it turns out to be true, and this is one of those cases. Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You does work bette...

Farmagia Anime Series Review

Jun 22, 12:00

10 comments

anime

The original character designs of Farmagia are penned by Hiro Mashima, which results in Fairy Tail bleedover leaking all over the place. ― It's hard to resist calling Farmagia a “dumpster fire” when the show starts with a giant fiery monster wreaking havoc on the landscape. Granted, the anime does creep into that territory on more than several occasions, but it doesn't quite land there. For me, dumps...

Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins ONA Review

Jun 21, 11:00

2 comments

anime

Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins is both a fantastically directed political spy thriller and an exploration of Zenigata and Lupin's odd-yet-enduring relationship. ― I'm a big fan of the adult-audience aimed Lupin the IIIrd series of shows and ONAs. Starting with The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, each of these has told the early adventures of our antiheroes with a large helping of ultraviolenc...

DAN DA DAN’s first season is more than just a kooky and spooky teenage romance; it’s the best deal in anime right now. ― If you've been following the latest and greatest in anime, there's a good chance that you're well acquainted with the first season of Dan Da Dan.
