I had a friend over today, and I wanted to show him some of Akira, just so he could see how insane it looks. We only watched the first 40 minutes, but the th...

It took an abnormally long time to complete watching this for me. Usually, I finish 12 episode series in less than a day, after all they only take about 3-4 ...

It had been, about what, two or three years since I first watched Haruhi? Possible even longer ago than that. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly when, although i...

50 episode drama? Isao Takahata worked on it? Aired as part of the World Masterpiece Theater block? Sign me up! 'Flanders no Inu' (A Dog of Flanders) is a 19...

Includes spoilers for: -Ashita no Joe 1&2 -Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu I hadn't really thought about it before today, but a comedy/drama is extremely difficult to p...

Yup, I said it. And you may think "that's a stupid hot take, underrated? It's high up on all the rating aggregator sites!" And yes, that is true. It's the 84...

'Uchuu Senkan Yamato' is most definetely one of my favourite anime and media franchises. From the way its early installments explore the concept of war, and w...

There are many different types of romance shows, but the two that seem to be the most prominent are romance/drama and romance/comedy, and it's not exactly di...

Densetsu Kyojin Ideon, or Space Runaway Ideon, is a mecha show from Yoshiyuki Tomino. Tomino is one polarising figure, and it's not difficult to see why. Whi...

Just gonna gush about how good this show is for a bit. So I love Osamu Dezaki, and after having finished watching Ace wo Nerae and Ashita no Joe, my opinion ...

One of the most interesting parts of watching older anime is seeing how it has influenced newer ones. When I watched Boku no Hero Academia earlier this year,...

I really like anime romcoms. Not as much as I used to, mind you, but still a great deal. Toradora, Momokuri, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, I even enjoy some harems...

I'm a pretty big fan of Hideaki Anno. Well, as big a fan you can be of someone when you've only watched their most popular work. NGE and End of Evangelion ar...

A lot of older anime are often dismissed for a multitude of reasons, whether it be their lack of fluidity in the animation, lack of an overarching narrative,...

So I seem to just find more and more stuff to write about Berserk, and I could not be more happy about that. I've written almost thirty posts total now, whic...
