manga

It’s got its ups and downs for certain, but this omnibus of the beloved shoujo manga mostly remains a fun read. ― After a slow start, what better way to kick things up than with a school festival? Here we have arrived at one of the more exciting parts of Hana-Kimi's early phases. It approximates itself towards a tournament arc with the way it opens up; what better way to show off than by having the h...

There is no summit without the mountain. Coop Bicknell explains the importance of a good rival in sports anime. ― If you've ever watched sports, an action film, or the occasional episode of anime, I'm fairly sure you've heard the term “heel” thrown around. Instead of describing a part of your foot, this bit of professional wrestling parlance refers directly to the bad guy—those who'll stop at nothin...

anime

This is an anti-hero story so lacking in proper hamminess that there’s hardly a single bit of pork on the bone here. ― There's a part of me that feels there's a much better comedy buried underneath this tale of fantasy melodrama. We have a klutzy warrior girl who doesn't know her own strength and a weird girl who thinks she's a cat. A leading maid's underlings try to trollishly and absurdly seize pow...
