The novelty of big girl-small girl isn't enough to make for the dragging, unfocused plot. ― Why yes, I did see Honey, I Shrunk the Kids when I was younger. All joking aside, I will start with some positives here. One of the high points of the entire manga is its artwork and panel layouts. The background and character designs are full of life, with exquisite detail and extra shading to give them an ad...

Psycho-Pass Providence is how Akane reaches her breaking point—and, surprisingly, it's not solely the Sibyl System's fault. ― 2019's Psycho-Pass 3 presented a status quo far different from what we expected from the anime up until then. Most of the main cast was absent, having joined Frederica at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and, more shocking still, the main character of the entire Psycho-Pass st...
