Kowloon Generic Romance Film Review

Jul 27, 12:00

live-action

If you thought the anime of Kowloon Generic Romance was rushed, that's nothing compared to the movie. ― I came to Chihiro Ikeda's live-action movie adaptation of Kowloon Generic Romance having watched the anime but without having read Jun Mayuzuki's still-ongoing manga. I'm aware that the number one criticism of the anime from manga fans is that it rushes through the material, and I could figure as m...

manga

While the anime is great looking enough that I imagine it'll be most people's preference for experiencing this series, the manga has just enough of its own strengths to be worth checking out on its own. ― With the new Yaiba anime currently on air, and quickly proving to be one of the most impressive looking action shows of the year, the folks at Viz Media have also seen fit to release the original ma...

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince Season 1 Anime Review

Jul 25, 12:00

anime

7th Prince has some cool ideas that I desperately wish it pursued to any meaningful extent. But instead, we got a royal snooze fest. ― I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability (henceforth 7th Prince) is an anime that, on paper, sounds cool and, dare I say, relatable enough. I mean, if we were all fortunate enough to be reincarnated into wealth and power...

Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Season 1 Anime Review

6 comments

anime

The first season of the story of Oguri Cap stands apart from its previous Uma Musume brethren—and arguably stands above many of them. ― Every great hero deserves an origin story, and that even—especially!—includes the funny big-eating horse girl Oguri Cap from Uma Musume. This obviously isn't the only franchise where a comic-relief background character can undergo this kind of drastic promotion to pr...
