Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie offers a rather unique take on the romantic comedy story between a girl and a boy. For starters: the female Miyako Shikimori has a distinctly masculine personality compared to the male Yuuki Izumi's distinctly feminine personality. For the rest: there are many strong
Despite its title, Trigun Stampede Ep. 7 "Wolfwood" is not entirely about Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Our brave and titular hero Vash the Stampede also gets a lot of screen time in this episode. Not only that, but the end of the episode also gives us a massive revelation about Vash's identity that
I would best describe Lycoris Recoil as a modern and light-hearted take on the girls with guns genre. Basically: it's like if you took Gunslinger Girl, and made it not morbidly depressing. Quite the opposite, really. It even has a healthy dose of yuri in it. There's a reason why almost everyone has
Despite its optimistic-sounding name, Trigun Stampede Ep. 6 "Once Upon a Time in Hopeland" is anything but hopeful. Especially not with Nicholas D. Wolfwood having to make some very difficult choices, starting with whether to kill his best friend or not. The happiness in this key art seems so far
Bad news for all of you Bofuri fans awaiting the next adventures of Maple Tree: it seems we'll have to wait a bit longer for them. And by "a bit", I mean substantially longer. That is, if you count a 2-week delay for the broadcast of Ep. 7 as substantial. No Bofuri Ep. 7 For Us? (At Least, For a
Trigun Stampede Ep. 5 "Child of Blessing" isn't a good day for Vash the Stampede. Although to be fair, none of the episodes so far have been good days for Vash. This day in particular though is especially bad for him, mostly due to how personal it is. At the very least though, it provides some nice
Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Scherzo of Deep Night is in many ways a successor to the previous anime film. It finally ties up some loose ends from Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night, while at the same time giving Asuna a new adventure to embark on. With
Trigun Stampede Ep. 4 "Hungry!" finally introduces us to one of the most popular main characters of the franchise: Nicholas D. Wolfwood. While he has absolutely no relation to a certain straw hat pirate, he does come with a big mouth, questionable and overcharged last rites, and a weaponized cross
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm has Yuru and his Daemons turn the table on his pursuers in Ep. 4 "Jin and Yuru". It's pretty clearly a case of the hunters becoming the hunted here, and in a very action-packed way to boot. Now we wait and see if this is a good thing for Yuru, or if he has bitten off
