Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: The Movie Anime Review

Jun 25, 12:00

1 comment

anime

In many ways, Macross II is a product of its time—for better and for worse. ― Often regarded by fans as the red-headed stepchild of the Macross franchise, 1992's six-episode Macross II OVA series was rights holder Big West's attempt to make a sequel to seminal 1984 movie Macross: Do You Remember Love (DYRL) without the involvement of original creators Studio Nue. As a result, this is the only Macross...

Which is more disappointing? A show with all the makings of a competent sci-fi thriller that fumbles it from the starting line, or a series backed by one of the industry's biggest stars that fails to deliver on its promises? ― Which is more disappointing?

games

It's incredibly easy to load up, blow up a few robots, drop the points in your robot, then do it all again a few minutes later. ― Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered is a fun enough title for what it is, but it struggles to feel like more than a solid port of a decent game. Battle Destiny Remastered is a port of the original PS Vita title, launched back in 2012. The original title was o...

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

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

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.
