Jun 26, 12:00

anime

Puella Magi Madoka Magica may not have reinvented the magical girl story, but it is an important step in the genre's evolution. ― Given that this is the tenth anniversary release of these films, I'm going to assume some familiarity with them in this review.

It was something so hardcore, th...

Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash

Jun 24, 12:00 anime

Maybe it's the Stockholm-esque relationship I cultivated in consuming so much Dropkick in only a couple of weeks, but this opening stretch of the new season was the most fun I had with the series. ― So here we are with the second season of Dropkick on My Devil and immediately it feels like I'm in an even trickier critical position than I was with the first season.
