Food for the Soul Anime Series Review

anime

Yes! Precure 5 Episodes 25-49 Anime Review

Aug 18, 12:00

anime

The story continues strong in the second half of the series, and central to that is the idea that being a team is a major facet of the way these Cures function. ― From one perspective, it's a good thing that Yes! Precure 5 has two sequels. Although the middle series, Yes! Precure 5 GoGo, remains legally unavailable in English as of this writing; the adult third series Power of Hope: Precure Full Bloo...

manga

Nihei’s eye for composition shapes many scenes with bizarre yet effective angles that truly conjure an air of terrifying verticality. ― I can only imagine that Tsutomu Nihei recently got into roguelike fantasy RPGs, and that must have inspired his latest manga, which is in many ways quite different from his usual work.
