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!

Tower Dungeon Volume 1 Manga Review

Aug 17, 12:00 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. Best known in the west for Blame! and Knights of Sidonia, his manga tends to be fu...

How do you recommend media that is so soaked in tragedy, shock value, and inherently horrific subject matter? ― There are some shows out there that are just inherently difficult to recommend to people. This isn't because the media in particular is bad or poorly written, rather it's because the journey that the media puts you on is far from a happy one.
