Welcome, all, again. Today's discussion will focus upon The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, a quiet isekai offering one of the least flamboyant--yet one of the most solidly constructed--storylines ...
Welcome, all, again. Our last discussion concerned a dark plot by an abused healer to remake his world, so I thought a much lighter take on world conquest might ...
Welcome, all, again. 2020 was a rough year the world over, and almost everyone I know is feeling lingering effects in some way. I myself lost relatives, coworkers, ...
Welcome, all, again--and happy holidays(!), of whatever flavor you prefer. This time around, we'll be looking at I'm Standing on a Million Lives, a show that has me puzzled ...
Welcome, all, again. This last was a slow viewing season for me, with my favorite genre (slice-of-life) severely underrepresented. Only three new shows managed to catch my interest, ...
Welcome, all, again. Since last my last column appeared here, Corona-chan swung by briefly (I tested negative, thanks!); my profession has been even further vilified; and Memphis regressed from ...
Welcome, all, again. Today let's talk about Princess Connect! Re: Dive, a show that can be kind of hard to pin down: it's comedy; it's adventure; it's bodaciously harem! ...
Welcome, all, again. We are transitioning from a particularly bountiful viewing season, and one of my favorites was yet another anime about anime, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! ...
Welcome, all, again. I recently raided my backlog of series-to-be-watched and pulled out 2011's Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl--literally pulled it out of my DVD collection, where it's lingered ...
Welcome, all, again. A new viewing season is upon us, with generous offerings in a number of genres. Today's topic, Ascendance of a Bookworm, is an isekai story ...

Welcome, all, again. As regular readers will know, I tend to gravitate towards slice-of-life series. However, I might seem to some to be a bit generous with that designation, including series that obviously belong to other genres. My own position is that most living things--works of art included--have multiple facets to their being, thus enabling me to focus upon some aspect others might overlook.

Welcome, all, again. Today I'm excited to discuss the new fantasy/slice-of-life anime If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord. To be honest, I had only heard of this as a light novel series; I didn't even realize that there was an anime version planned.

Welcome, all, again. My last post herein covered The Magnificent Kotobuki, a group of pilots first fighting air pirates, then transitioning to fight an actual war.

Welcome, all, again. As we settle into a new viewing season, today's subject will be the just-concluded The Magnificent Kotobuki, which might surprise regular readers who know how much I normally dislike CGI animation. (And new stuff in general. But, hey, I'm old and grouchy. And I've earned it, too!) Now, don't get me wrong--CGI animation can come in very useful for particularly detailed images, especially of a mechanical persuasion.

Welcome, all, again. Today we look back on anime's own gateway drug, Cowboy Bebop. As you have no doubt already heard, Netflix is again taunting the gods of anime by producing a live-action desecration--excuse me, adaptation--of this beloved anime series. And only 2 years after thoroughly mutilating Death Note! Why?

Welcome, all, again. My past two reviews have focused upon shows that allude to serious matters, from the challenges of shaping an adult mindset from the normal morass of hormonal adolescent emotions to the displacement of refugees during wartime. So let's close the year with something a little lighter: Between the Sky and Sea, an identity-crisis of an anime combining elements of both Sci-Fi and fantasy.

Welcome, all, again. After last season's disheartening dearth of entertaining shows, I just can't keep up this season's bountiful offerings! One which I have been particularly enjoying is Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, a rather unconventional rom-com.

Welcome, all, again. A new viewing season has begun, and this one seems to offer many more selections to my taste. In fact, I'm very excited about two shows in particular: Goblin Slayer (reviewed on my site anotheranimereview.com) and Xuan Yuan Sword Luminary.

Welcome, all, again. As what I consider to be a lackluster viewing season finally winds down, I am eagerly--desperately--hoping for better things to come. Meanwhile, I have used this time to revisit a number of past favorites, including the subject of today's discussion, 2012's Bodacious Space Pirates.

Welcome, all, again. These past few years I have proudly stuck to a very simple promise to you, my readers: I only review what I like. Why would I waste your time or mine talking about a show I didn't even enjoy?
