Another fun Precure movie! 🩷

Plot: 6/10

The story is solid, although I can’t give it any points for creativity. The Wonderful Precure Movie’s core plot is pretty standard as far as Precure movies go - Our Cures get trapped in another world for a while, have to complete challenges, and ultimately transform and battle the final boss. Though the nature of this ‘villain’ is somewhat different from the typical formula, it’s still very familiar overall. There are also a couple of plot holes and weird decisions made here - The funniest of which being the Cures’ choice to use the Kitsune Kirarin animal instead of the ...

“Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shiteita.” Is a short, sweet, and adorable anime with a lot of heartwarming moments. It’s a shame that it could never get a proper conclusion due to the mangaka’s passing, but I will be reviewing this anime for what it is. In other words, though I respect the author, I will not be biasing this review because of the circumstances.

Characters: 8/10

Definitely the strongest point of this anime is its character dynamics - The titular Magical Girl and Evil Lieutenant both get quite a decent bit if character development despite the short series length, and their interactions were always ...

Mixed Feelings
All things considered, this show handled its extremely tight time constraints pretty well. That being said, I still must remain fair in judging this against other anime of the same runtime.

In short, this should have been a two-cour (24 episode) anime. If anything, 7/10 is generous by my standards of rating solely based on narrative explanations and things making sense, although I will admit that things could have been handled a lot worse (as I have seen in the past), so I’ll give this a pass on that front.

Shuumatsu Train is an anime original, a notoriously mixed bag ranging anywhere from masterpieces such as Madoka ...

This manga is an *experience*. While it may seem like a dramatic analysis, there is simply no better way I have found to describe just how fundamentally impactful it was to read.

This review will be a short one, because I doubt any number of words placed here could even come close to properly conveying the masterpiece that is Hadashi no Gen.

(Regarding the manga vs anime question) As I will touch on later, I do believe this iteration of the story to be vastly superior to the already phenomenal movie adaptation, in all aspects except one.

It has been several weeks since I finished reading said manga, ...

I simply don’t understand how this got a 4.88/10 rating.

As someone who does NOT judge based on animation at all (it never factors into my overall scoring, and is at least partially a studio budget competition in my view), I thought an input solely based on narrative factors would be in order here.

Story: 8/10

At this movie’s core is a simple (not the most unique, yet not blatantly uninspired either) dimensional travel story done with marked competency - it doesn’t try to implement too much for its short runtime, ultimately leading to a satisfying conclusion which obeys its own laws with stunning elegancy. My only criticism ...

Alright, Hotaru no Haka? Get that out of there (partially joking - it’s still a good film, just not to this level of impact in my opinion). THIS is the WWII anime film I am recommending to people alongside Hadashi no Gen - more specifically, if I’m ever trying to convey the incendiary bombings through this form of media, you can bet that Futatsu no Kurumi is my new go-to.

Now, I’ve been on a bit of a hunt for these extremely niche second world war anime films (I have watched 21 so far), and I can say for certain that this beats out everything except ...

North Korea simulator 3000-

In all seriousness, this was a perfectly good bit of anti-war animation, jelling well with the general notion I often see in Japanese media surrounding the overall concept of international conflict.

(Message / Story: 7/10)
It’s quite on-the-nose, although a sentence referring to ‘otona’ (adults) towards the end implies that this was intended for children to watch, so I’ll let that slide I suppose. It’s pretty obvious to anyone who knows the history that (minus the cameras), the scenarios described here are nearly a 1:1 mirror of what happened within imperial Japan, so I will at least award them with points for accuracy.

(Animation ...

Precure All Stars F is by far the best All Stars movie to come out of this wonderful show! From beginning to end, it was a perfect celebration of how far the franchise has come, embodying everything it means to be a ‘Precure’ no matter which team you are following on the matter.

Story: 7.5/10

While this is sadly the weakest aspect here, the core story of All Stars F is still very enjoyable to watch. Even if (at least in my view), the twist was quite predictable from the beginning, and the movie’s first half is rather slice of life-esque for my tastes, the latter half ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)
This show is absolute insanity, but I cannot look away.

(Story: 7/10)
Sasaki, a middle-aged man who has dedicated his entire life to the cold struggle of a corporate workplace, finds himself wishing to change his way of life be adopting a pet bird on a whim. Unfortunately for his sense of normalcy, said feathered friend is actually a legendary mage from another world, soon dragging his new ‘owner’ into an almost isekai-esque fantasy world to shake things up. Things only grow even more complex as Sasaki realises he is not the only human to possess supernatural abilities, throwing viewers for a loop right when they thought ...

100-Kano is an absolutely insane show, but it somehow still works thanks to the presentation of it all.

Story: 7.5/10

Beyond anything else, this show has an advantage over every other romcom harem it parodies - It KNOWS how stupid the premise is and rolls with it. Each scene which would have otherwise been ridiculous melodrama in any other show of this nature is instead played for laughs, ultimately ending up with the perfect recipe for a lighthearted and comedic series.

While the plot isn’t anything to write home about, it remains highly consistent without ever deviating too far into “filler” territory - Rentaro is going to have ...
