(“Bâan” [บ้าน] is the Thai word for “home” if you were unaware.) Each feels they don't ...

anime

Mamoru Hosoda’s isekai riff on Hamlet is one of this year’s biggest anime disappointments. ― Once upon a time, Mamoru Hosoda was supposed to direct Howl's Moving Castle before Hayao Miyazaki took it over. On a certain level, Scarlet could now be called Hosoda's Howl, inasmuch as it's an attempt to work his righteous anger at a war in the Middle East into an unrelated piece of English literature and e...

Clevatess -Majū no Ō to Akago to Shikabane no Yūsha- Manga Review

Sep 12, 12:00 manga

Even though Clevatess isn't covering new ground in these first handful of chapters, I was surprised at how invested I was by the time I reached my chapter quota. ― The presence of dark fantasy stories is vast.

Exit 8 Live-Action Movie Review

Sep 11, 12:00 live-action

Playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, Exit 8 turns the indie game into a stylish-but-not-very-substantial movie. ― If that plot summary looks minimal, that's because there's minimal plot to summarize here. In the 95 minutes it takes to watch the Exit 8 movie, you could complete two average-length play-throughs of its video game source material. If you're really good at the “spot-the-dif...
