  • Dororo | Anime Universe

    Dororo | Anime Universe

    Dororo is a dark fantasy, an adventurous tale with supernatural elements and dealing with the characters’ emotional journey of discovery. From its very few episodes, I noticed an old school feeling that blends with modern quality productions. The original series had a much simpler animation style with cartoony character designs…

  • Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Bloom | Episode 4 and 5

    Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Bloom | Episode 4 and 5

    Episode 4 The school’s Cultural Festival is in full swing, and something I enjoyed a ton about the first half of the episode because it was all about Chiya and Kokoa. The two have surprisingly worked exceptionally well together as they both carry the same vibe; that being, the two…

  • Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen | Episode 8 and 9

    Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen | Episode 8 and 9

    Episode 8 The Yotsuba Clan is a clan that interests me quite a bit. We know very little about them, and from what is said and understood, they seem to be very mysterious. Not to mention they’re also powerful and can probably wipe out all the other Master Clans whenever…

  • Majo no Tabitabi | Episode 4

    Majo no Tabitabi | Episode 4

    Episode four is an interesting one. It looked like we’d be seeing some action, which is always great to see. Next on Elaina’s journey, she encounters a country in ruin, ravaged by a Javalier. A monster that sleeps during the day and ravages from night until dawn, devouring every last…

  • Tonikaku Kawaii | Episode 6 and 7

    Tonikaku Kawaii | Episode 6 and 7

    Episode 6 Having just finished one comedy in Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!, I thought that it would only be fair if I carried on my little marathon I have going on right now. Stepping away from certain anime is always nice. I am sure I’ve mentioned this before too, but it’s…

  • Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 11 and 12

    Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 11 and 12

    Episode 11 This episode was an odd one simply because of how many references this episode made. Like for example, sometime towards the latter half of the episode, we have a narrator. Something that is only really present in one of my favourite anime, Love is War. The tone of the…

  • Mob Psycho 100 II | two?

    Mob Psycho 100 II | two?

    Mob Psycho Season 2 immediately gets the viewers back on track starting from the first episode. It’s not in a huge rush to accelerate the plot like some sequels but instead get fans to familiarize the franchise again. We are reminded of how characters can change and make a difference,…

  • Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 9 and 10

    Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 9 and 10

    Episode 9 We got to meet Uzaki’s mother. Upon hearing her voice, I immediately recognized the voice actor, the wonderful Saori Hayami, one of my favourite voice actors. With that knowledge, I knew I was going to be in for a treat. Episode nine’s focal point was for sure Tsuki…

  • Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 8

    Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 8

    I’m slowly starting to dislike how this anime, in general, goes about their comedy. In the past few episodes, I’ve noticed that the source of humour originates from Uzaki and Sakurai’s poor use of words and irregular use of emotions towards each other whenever they’re together. Episode eight was about…

  • Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen | Episode 6 and 7

    Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen | Episode 6 and 7

    Episode 6 I decided to take a little break from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen, in large part due to my disappointment with regards to the second season but to also clear my mind. Now that I’ve taken time away, I am now more than ready to resume this anime…

  • Yakusoku no Neverland  | Anime Universe

    Yakusoku no Neverland | Anime Universe

    Welcome to The Promised Neverland (Yakusoku no Neverland), a series that managed to make a new breed of itself among the popular Jump manga family. Consisting of 12 episodes, it’s a show that blends elements of survival, science fiction, mystery, horror, and suspense. It’s a thriller that manages to capture the…

  • Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 7

    Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! | Episode 7

    “Please, be with me. I need you” is how we start off the episode, with Sakurai calling Uzaki uttering those words to her over the phone. How does she react? What does he mean? Ah yes, a cliché way to add that little bit of misunderstanding and an intentional poor…

  • Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru | Anime Universe

    Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru | Anime Universe

    Meet Kakeru Kurahara, the 1st year former elite runner at Kansei University. The first episode shows his daredevil actions as he is caught stealing. Thankfully, he is saved by 4th-year student Haiji Kiyose who has an ambitious dream of competing in the Hakone Ekiden. The Hakone Ekiden is considered an…

  • Majo no Tabitabi | Episode 3

    Majo no Tabitabi | Episode 3

    Holy s***, is what I thought. This is one extremely sad and depressing episode. The episode itself wasn’t long at all, but the stories/arcs the episode told were extremely sad. The first arc that was told, showed Elaina flying over a field of flowers where she encounters a girl tending…

  • Tonikaku Kawaii | First Impressions

    Tonikaku Kawaii | First Impressions

    Tonikaku Kawaii a Comedy, Romance, and Shounen. Adapted by Seven Arcs a studio that to me anyway, isn’t really well known, with no notable works coming from them. I first stumbled upon this anime roaming through the upcoming seasonal anime for the year, doing what I usually do, which is add everything…

  • Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Bloom | Episode 2 and 3

    Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Bloom | Episode 2 and 3

    Episode 2: Review Having not watched this season since the first episode, it was nice to finally jump back into it. This episode did not disappoint! The one thing I will always love about the Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? series is how lighthearted everything is. Everything about this anime…

  • Tonikaku Kawaii | Episode 5

    Tonikaku Kawaii | Episode 5

    What I liked a lot about this episode was that we got to see a different side to Tsukasa, the diehard movie lover. Watching her ramble about why movies are important and how it’s also important to indulge yourself with past works of the movie director; following their journey as…

  • Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen | First Impressions

    Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen | First Impressions

    Alright! Now it is time for my long awaited “First Impressions” on the second season of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen. If you’ve been following me and my journey to try and stay up-to-date with the anime, then you’d know by now that the first season…

  • Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari | Anime Universe

    Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari | Anime Universe

    The first few episodes spelled out with the introduction of four main heroes – the shield, sword, spear, and bow hero. As a double length special, it made sense to draw out as much as Naofumi’s character as possible. Initially, he is portrayed as a man with a sense of…

  • Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san | Worth Watching?

    Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san | Worth Watching?

    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…
