    From the first few episodes, it became obvious that schoolgirl Akari Amano takes a liking to a 360-year old vampire named Sophie Twilight. While this strikes as an oddball formula to set up for the series, it works with the fact that the creators wanted to establish an important relationship…

    Devils Line | Worth Watching? HMMM.

    Watching Ballroom e Youkoso (Welcome to the Ballroom) feels like taking a journey down memory lane.

    Grancrest Senki | Worth Watching?

    Ok. It’s not complicated but as an anime viewer, I’m baffled by the storytelling pacing of the show from the very start. It’s lightning fast that by the time I finished the fourth or fifth episode, it felt like the series jumped way over itself. It would be fair game…

    Drifters | Not about cars!
