  • 91 Days | A Shuka original

    91 Days | A Shuka original

    As an original series, 91 Days isn’t being held back by any adaptation hindrances or an established fan base. However, the show is hardly anything original either. Picture this. It’s the Prohibition Era and mafia, gangs, and mobs rule the street. Liquor is like gold while the police force is…

  • Orange | Orange?

    Orange | Orange?

    From the beginning, it’s obvious that Naho has a crush on Kakeru and she shows it early on with many hints. However, what really happens will make the audience realize how there’s future events that takes place with the main cast. Futuristic segments are shown from the first episode of…

  • Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara | Even more FOOD.

    Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara | Even more FOOD.

    First things first, the sequel is a direct continuation from the first and thus, the story connects from established characters and storytelling. Therefore, there’s no reason to watch the second plate without tasting the first. Do note that there’s also no recap so the second season really gets straight to…

  • Flying Witch | Check it out!

    Flying Witch | Check it out!

    The series is adapted from the manga of the same name and essentially, it’s a hybrid of slice of life and fantasy. We follow the life of Kowata Makoto as she returns to living in a rural town with her friends and relatives. In essence, it explores the daily life style…

  • Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge | Yes.

    Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge | Yes.

    The story is but a simple and modest one. It follows the life of teenage highschooler Tanaka, denoting his attempts at merely existing each day, and his interactions – or lack thereof – with those around him. Not much is ventured here; it is a barebones premise that, most surprisingly,…

  • Sakamoto Desu ga? | Worth Watching?

    Sakamoto Desu ga? | Worth Watching?

    Sakamoto is what happens when you take an observational approach to an overused trope, while also deciding to view it through a comedic lens. And in this case, the overused trope being examined is Mary Sue/Gary Stu characters. With portrayals that often border on the implausible due to the nature…

  • Kiznaiver | Worth Watching?

    Kiznaiver | Worth Watching?

    For what’s worth though, Kiznaiver take advantage of its premise quite a bit. From the first few episodes, we have a mysterious girl named Noriko who immediately takes interest in the main protagonists in particular Katsuhira. Their relationship can be described as strange but also familiar. This is because the…

  • Koutetsujou no Kabaneri | Worth Watching?

    Koutetsujou no Kabaneri | Worth Watching?

    StoryKabaneri is a typical zombie apocalypse show, so it’s not entirely original. However I’ve yet to see a zombie show heavily involving trains, so that’s new, although it may be a bit of a comically stupid idea. I also noticed a decent amount of plot holes used as an excuse…

  • Bungou Stray Dogs | Who let the Dogs out!?

    Bungou Stray Dogs | Who let the Dogs out!?

The show stars a group of characters as part of the group known as the Armed Detective Agency, who specializes in missions to solve dangerous cases. It offers a select group of individuals with their own…

  • Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu | One of the best!

    Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu | One of the best!

    Early impressions of Re:Zero may trigger viewers’ comparison to series such Steins;Gate, Erased, or even the live-action movie, Edge of Tomorrow. What do all these have in similarity? It’s the idea of time travel. The ability to loop back from the present to the past is a fictional theme we’ve all…

  • Boku no Hero Academia | The Start of it all

    Boku no Hero Academia | The Start of it all

    The premise is rather simple and classic for a battle shounen. It takes place in an academy setting with the main character trying to become a hero after being inspired by All Might (his idol hero) and others who vowed to protect their world from villains. Up to this point,…

  • Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu | Wonderful #Anime

    Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu | Wonderful #Anime

    The story takes place around the 1970s. However, the show does a lot more background storytelling than what most viewers may be accustomed to. Thankfully, the series knows how to transit into the past to bring the story into the present. From the beginning, we meet Koji, a guy who…

  • Gate 2 | Not too shabby

    Gate 2 | Not too shabby

    The conflict continues into GATE Season 2. The first few episodes also sets up for quite a bit of events for the reminder course of the story. Characters such as Zorzal El Caesar and Tyuule are just a few that causes controversy. The emperor of the Empire also seems to…

  • Prince of Stride: Alternative | Worth Watching?

    Prince of Stride: Alternative | Worth Watching?

    The story structure is designed as more carefree although striding is the main course of the plot. Other times, the show feels like it’s taking a breather such as fashion shoots, hot springs, and even the infamous beach episode. In general, the story turns into a mixed affair of comedy…

  • Hai to Gensou no Grimgar | Loved the art style

    Hai to Gensou no Grimgar | Loved the art style

    First of all, the series’ focus on its world fiction is fantastic. By all means, it is rich in resources from the dense forests to the lush landscapes with a decent amount of wildlife. Plus, civilization is exactly what people may picture from a fantasy game. There’s old fashioned towns,…

  • KonoSuba | I much enjoyed.

    KonoSuba | I much enjoyed.

    Every episode, there are segments when the characters are self-aware about their surroundings. The interactions and relationships he forges with others is also mostly comedic. Kazuma and Aqua’s relationship stands out as the idiot duo. It’s pretty easy to see that they aren’t very compatible especially with Kazuma’s self-interests. In…

  • Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?? | Yeah. It has a second season :o

    Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?? | Yeah. It has a second season 😮

    Gochuumon is, by and large, the most sugar-coated anime you could ever feast your eyes upon. The girls are about as kawaii and cuddle-worthy that you might get asphyxiated by the amount of kawaii essence that permeates the atmosphere. This does not just include how adorable the character designs are.…
