Romance anime movies are growing on me. Usually, I’m not a huge romance person. I’m not even that into shipping drama but these little slice-of-life high school romances are pulling at my heartstrings. Ride Your Wave, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Josee, the Tiger and the Fish all had death be a major plot… Continue reading “Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop” is a sweet film but lacks some substance
(Spoiler Warning!) I’ve been waiting a while for Beastars to return to Netflix, and I’m happy to say that the anime is still excellent.

Making a good animated film is hard and all too often the influences are fairly obvious leaving the movie with little… Continue reading “The Knight and the Princess:” Egypt’s first animated film is a special experience
How do you mess up an anime adaptation this badly? Actually, let me rephrase that, ow do you mess up a season of television so badly? Especially when the first season was praised for being so well-written and paced? How do you go from being one of the best animes out there to...basically being written… Continue reading “The Promised Neverland” Season 2 is just terrible
