Uzumaki (Manga) add
Good horror stories are successful not only due to their gruesome nature, but also due to how believable and relatable they are to the readers. Uzumaki has moments of gruesomeness and unease. But the lack of relatable characterisation ultimately results in failure to keep up the creepy atmosphere throughout the entirety of the story.

The narrative structure of the manga is where it fails the most. Every chapter has Kirie, the main character narrating the events in a retrospective manner. It is emotionless, matter-of-fact narration and feels disjointed to the atmosphere the story is trying to create. Her expressions throughout the manga remains mostly the same ...

Preliminary (9/18 chp)
Written by the author of Mushishi, this manga follows an identical episodic formula where the main character Hirota deals with a supernatural phenomenon called as "Flow". These flows are always caused due to one or the other emotions or thoughts people have from time to time. This is quite underrated in my opinion owing to its frequent comparison to Mushishi.

The story is a bit weaker than Mushishi because it only revolves around finding the causes and then reversing the effects of the Flow without much exploration into the concept of Flow itself. That makes this automatically less engrossing giving the feel of an average slice ...

"Far beyond the voyage" is a two episode OVA series for Suisei no Gargantia that expands on the worldbuilding of the original series. You could think of it as a movie that is split into two episodes. It doesn't explore the already known cast any further or go into detail about the Galactic Alliance or Hideauze, but does expand upon the waterworld very nicely.

We get to have a glimpse of the daily life inside Gargantia once more and will see what Ledo is doing after the events of the series. Some clues about the history of the Earth before the colonists left it are revealed. ...

Deadman Wonderland has over the top characters with absurd motivations and a lot of blood, but still fails to make the plot remotely interesting. This is more of a battle shounen than a seinen or a psychological story. So expect many of those tropes. I don't have anything against shounen, but when you add dark backstories for the sake of being dark and when the fighting mechanics revolve around bleeding, it comes off as edgy.

*** The review contains some vague spoilers ***


I found more bad things than good in this manga. Let me write about all the good first -

The premise is interesting. The protagonist ...

The anime community seems to be split in its opinion on SAO. Half of them ignore everything positive about it and only talk about negetive things. The other half just does the opposite. No other anime has been this controversial for more than 5 years after its original release. Now here is a new season that features mostly different cast from the original. So is it worth watching or not? Here is my analysis:-

**THIS WILL INCLUDE MINOR SPOILERS ABOUT THE OVERALL SETTING **

The story this time is centered not on a game, but around a simulation of civilization. The aim of this simulation is to ...

The Promised Neverland is the type of anime that is better enjoyed by going in blind. It heavily relies on suspense, mind games and reveals. So those who haven't watched the show should stay away from reviews and should only decide to watch it based on the genre and MAL synopsis.

Needless to say, **THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS**

The stakes are set by the end of the first episode and it is clear that one small error can lead to death for the characters. The children need to escape the farm and they should do it without the intelligent Isabella knowing what they are up to. But ...

Great first half, disappointing latter half.

When the otaku mc who had no girlfriend and questionable content in his PC died by the stab of a passerby robber, I thought this was going to be a parody. Turns out it is not. I have always disliked stories where mc dies and gets reincarnated again because the significance of death is lost from that moment. This makes any life threatening situations meaningless - why would you care about someone's death if they might just get reincarnated again? But surprisingly, the story hooks you on despite the cliched start because the struggle of the characters is not merely ...

Goblin Slayer (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
When it comes to popular shows, people like to jump on bandwagons. They either absolutely adore it or utterly despise it. Due to the controversy first episode created, goblin slayer has attracted more people than it should have and the result is obvious.

The story takes place in a D&D inspired world where battle between the good and the evil is commonplace. The main character has gone through a traumatic experience in his childhood because of the infamous goblins and has decided to dedicate his entire life to eradicate them. So it is all about how cunning the goblins are and how goblin slayer comes up ...

Since there are no reviews by anyone who has completed the anime, I decided to write one.

This is an anime for children (PG). So don't expect a deep plot. But it does it's job well and I was hooked into the story when I watched it years ago when I was younger. I hadn't watched the last few episodes at the time and couldn't find them anywhere. Then about 2 years ago someone uploaded the last remaining episodes to youtube with captions and I was able to complete the series.

The story is about a fictional future where tournaments are held between robots for entertainment. The ...

Heads (Manga) add
**There are NO spoilers in this review**

This is one of the most underpopular manga out there. It deserves more recognition. Hence I am writing this review.

STORY -
The story is about a hypothetical situation that deals with what would happen if part of a person's brain is replaced by another's brain. What makes it interesting is that the replaced part is from someone with a completely different personality. We see how it affects the protagonist ...
