I grew up with this franchise, and I absolutely adore it. I have watched the whole franchise two times.
After what they did to 02 kids in Tri movies, a story just about them was much needed, so I really loved seeing them again and all grown up too!
This whole movie felt like it was a story arc from the series instead of an actual movie, which was nice since you get to see the characters just be themselves and all but I really disliked the story they tried to pull from this, like, really? The Digivices are gone now? Which not only doesn't make much

Rewatching Naoko Takeuchi's magnum opus story as a reboot with modern animation and production wasn't wholly a delightful ride, Crystal had it's fair share of bumpy moments, but the Cosmos movies redeemed the whole journey by giving a worthy conclusion to this classic series which it always deserved.
This was one of the best arcs from the manga, and Usagi handles it pretty well, she is an amazing protagonist, her charisma, personality and characterstics are very uplifting, and her emotions are very humane, she tries her best but also gets on the verge of giving up when she fails. It really makes her the perfect fit ... May 24, 2024
Suki demo Kirai na Amanojaku
(Anime)
add
Studio Colorido is getting good at making mid movies with somewhat good visuals here and there. The character designs were pretty generic but the white hair and oni horns were a nice touch to make them stand out.
Why this movie was mid? Well the pacing was out of the place, it would have worked better if it was a whole slice of life/fantasy series where they could have fleshed out the adventure aspects of it while also explaining the whole narrative better. Well, here's hoping that their future works get good, this was better than A Whisker Away (same director) but not Penguin Highway (same screenwriter, ... Apr 30, 2024

Adaptation of Haruba Negi's manga, an author that is known for Quintuplets manga and the studio Yostar Pictures which is known for making an anime about girls playing Golf, surprisingly comes this anime about Dragon Rangers.
At first glance this show may look like just another one of those power ranger shows, but in reality it's much close to the famous Prime show "The Boys", yes, it's about supposed good guys, the rangers actually being the bad guys where supposed bad guys are the main characters and they plan and fight their way to defeat the rangers. To avoid ruining anymore fun, I'll just leave it ... Apr 23, 2024
Boukyaku Battery (TV)

This season MAPPA is making a baseball anime which is not only good with it's production value and references, but also fun and enjoyable to watch.
When we talk about baseball anime, the likes of One Outs, Major and Diamond no Ace are first titles to be mentioned, but the way this anime is going, I believe it's going to make it's place amongst them. Baseball is the main theme of this show, but it's comedy centered as well, the main characters are your typical anime high schoolers with nothing much that stands out in their characterstics, except for Kaname Kei, who has amnesia and ...

Hi no Tori: Eden no Sora
(Anime)
add
Another one of Osamu Tezuka's classics got a modern anime adaptation.
The story in the chapters adapted for this anime was quite engaging and interesting, but the pacing felt somewhat off. Apparently, they also plan to release a movie version of this with an alternative ending, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out. Although I liked the visuals, the background art was beautiful, and the character designs successfully captured the essence of the old animations. I would still recommend watching this, not only for its beauty but also because the story revolves around themes of loneliness, pain, suffering, and the journey towards hope. Aug 2, 2023
Goodbye, Don Glees!
(Anime)
add
Goodbye, Don Glees! is a movie by Atsuko Ishizuka, a director who is well known for directing the anime series: "A Place Further Than The Universe".
Since the production was done by one of the giants in anime production; Studio Madhouse, the clear superiority in artistic value can undeniably be seen with a unique color grading which serves a purpose to the story. The story is about adventure, and that's something the director is pretty good at portraying, the whole feel of adventuring, it's process and it's end is pretty satisfying and wholesome to watch, although I believe there were moments that were rushed and this ...

Tsurune: Tsunagari no Issha

add
We often see a sequel that's actually great and excelling than it's predecessor, and Tsurune's s2 is certainly one of them.
I honestly did not care about the characters much in the first season, but this season really fleshed out the characters and made them feel realistic and relatable, I did not expect this kinda upgrade in the writing but it only made the show more enjoyable for me, because the purpose and focus of the show isn't only winning or practicing now, it also became character relation and character growth, something sports anime really do well. I personally think that this season achieved great heights in ... Dec 24, 2022
Aria the Benedizione
(Anime)
add
Melancholic, heartwarming and a bittersweet ending to a lovely franchise, even with it's latest and last installment; Aria proves itself to be the best in Iyashikei genre. The franchise may have ended for many by the end of Origination, when the main girls became Prime Undine but it still got 3 more installments to expand it's story by giving us a glimpse of future of how all of the characters will be living on, but unlike the previous two, The Benedizione instead focused on Aika and Akira's characters and showed a part of their story from the past, I love Aika's character so I wholly enjoyed ...

If I were to describe this show, I would say it's "cute girls working in a cafe while secretly being government agents", just your typical Slice of Life anime. gay af btw, MC is lesbian (IMPLIED), has a rival who's also lesbian (IMPLIED) and MC has two dads (fr).
The whole show was a mixed ride between action and slice of life aspects, but the tone of the show always stayed bright or somewhat closer to it, the characters were very energetic and optimistic most of the times and it's something that initially made me enjoy this show and it made the show very easy to ... |
