Anime Review: Record of Lodoss War

Posted on July 16, 2019 by

I have fond memories of this anime. Not only was it one of the first that I watched as a kid, but the first time I watched it was during my first overnight not-sleeping sleepover. By which, I mean that … Continue reading →

Anime Review: Rising of the Shield Hero

Posted on July 2, 2019 by

The first thing I heard about Rising of the Shield Hero was the controversy surrounding the events of the first episode. The previous season had sparked outrage with the graphic depiction of all things horrible in Goblin Slayer, and now this season … Continue reading →

Anime Review: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Posted on June 25, 2019 by

The single biggest strike against this anime, in my opinion, is how doesn’t quite stand entirely on its own. It was made quite awhile after its predecessor, and, though it is truer to the source material, it seems to assume that … Continue reading →

Anime Review: Fullmetal Alchemist

Posted on June 18, 2019 by

This one has a little history to consider. Not only is it a classic, it’s a classic that demanded to be remade into another classic, similar to each other, but very distinct. See, they based the first anime on the … Continue reading →

Anime Review: Samurai 7

Posted on June 11, 2019 by

Have I mentioned how much I want to see Akira Kurosawa’s classic Seven Samurai? Well, I do. I really want to see it. All I’ve heard about it is amazing, and I’ve seen two, maybe three, of Kurosawa’s other films, so … Continue reading →

Dark Phoenix

Posted on June 11, 2019 by

Robert Jordan began and ended almost all of his iconic Wheel of Time novels with the words, “It wasn’t the beginning. But it was a beginning.” In a similar vein, one could say of Fox’s latest X-Men movie, like unto Logan before it, … Continue reading →

Godzilla: King of the MonsterVerse

Posted on June 4, 2019 by

OK, it’s not a perfect movie. But it is a pretty dang epic movie, and a proper launching of the MonsterVerse, the cinematic universe which features Godzilla, King Kong, and such. I enjoyed the Godzilla movie of 2014, but, let’s … Continue reading →

Anime Review: Ah My Goddess!

Posted on June 4, 2019 by

Let it be noted, now and forever, that I do not need thrilling action and massive explosions in all of my entertainment, as proven here. 😉 Ah My Goddess, which should really be “Oh My Goddess,” is a dramatic comedy with a … Continue reading →

Anime Review: Kids on the Slope

Posted on May 28, 2019 by

I know, at least peripherally, that Jazz has had something of bad reputation, somewhat well-earned. It held a long presence in seedy nightclubs and other unsavory, shadowy corners. Yet, much the same can be said of many forms of entertainment. … Continue reading →

Anime Review: The Vision of Escaflowne

Posted on May 21, 2019 by

It’s part isekai, part fantasy adventure, part medieval mecha, part love story, and it is not entirely appropriate for little children, no matter how valiantly the censors try. 😉 My first experience with The Vision of EscaFlowne, which shall hereafter just be called Escaflowne, … Continue reading →
