This story details the career of the author, Kobayashi Makoto in plain sight for the world to see just how the careers of authors can be ruled over. It's a stunningly heart wrenching affirmation of the struggle to fulfill your dreams while being combatting with the expectations of society and your superiors.

Don't let yourself be taken advantage of and take care of those close to you. Don't let yourself succumb to the regrets of your past and future. Those are the main themes of this simple biography that lays the heart of this story to readers to bare. Brilliant.

Psycho-Pass 3 (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
There's really only one question on everyone's mind when going into the latest season of Psycho-Pass. "Is it as bad as season 2?" While initially, the short answer that came to me was that it was in fact not as bad as the previous season this simple comparison does fail to do justice to any ideas around this season and how it truly stacks up to the franchise. Psycho-Pass 3 takes place a few years after the events of the last season and the Sinners of the System movies. We follow new inspectors Shindou Arata and Kei Mikhail Ignatov. They are forced to chase ...

World Trigger (Anime) add
People are too quick to call a series a “underrated”. This is because it’s not easy to gauge the popularity of a series in relation to the following you think it "should" have. If I were to make a list of underrated series, that list would be incredibly short. It would also include World Trigger which isn't a label typically attached to a Weekly Shonen Jump series. An up and comer in WSJ that drew interest in the when it began to air from the mere fact the it ran in that magazine, that interest almost immediately dissipated in the first couple of episodes. Suddenly, ...

The hyped up, fanservice extra to Kuroko's Basketball, Kagami and the Generation of Miracles take on the evil Americans in a game of streetball in this short sequel to the original.

This is fun for really one reason. You get to see a whole ton of overpowered players go at it at full force. You feel a bit of rehash, as this is the 3rd opponent of the series that's an evil asshole. It doesn't hold the weight of the original series because there isn't really a goal other than to beat the opponent. There's no reward or recognition, and the players are all already ...

Fune wo Amu (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
“Light – A source of illumination, such as a small fire or torch. ‘A light shows us the way’”

Soft, quiet, and lukewarm, Fune wo Amu chronicles how an awkward yet thoughtfully observant man stumbles onto a job perfectly suited for himself. After being fairly unsuccessful in sales, Majime Mitsuya is recruited for dictionary editing through a colleague, and he quickly immerses himself in creating “The Great Passage” a modern Japanese dictionary.

Fune wo Amu does a decent number of things properly. From addressing the teamwork and differing strengths of the team members to the hindrances of upper management and obtrusive egos of outside help, the ...

Holy crap what the hell were they thinking? Sunrise may well have just come out and just said "we don'tactually know what to do with Akito the Exiled lmao". That's how poor this final episode really is. Now this isn't a sudden 180, but the show did hang in the balance after the events of the last 2 episodes with the damn gypsies and other events. The show just proceeds to get down on its knees and slam it's face into the ground joyfully afterwards.

Akito the Exiled finally shown the confrontation between Akito and his "NII-SAN!", ...

In anime there are times where a show would do one bad thing that gets on your nerves, but thinking that it will eventually stop, you ignore it and trudge onward. That's never how it works. This is the case whether it's a colleague frequently telling jokes with awful puns, a sibling constantly poking at you, or many other situations, and Bungou Stray Dogs exemplifies this quite strongly. Bungou Stray Dogs follows an orphaned kid named Atsushi who attracts misfortune to himself wherever he goes. After meeting Osamu Dazai, he joins the "Detective Agency", a small, special agency of superpowered detectives who solve cases in ...

Harmony (Anime) add
Harmony is one the three movies of Project Itoh, a series of anime films based on the works of Satoshi Itoh. Harmony encompasses a dystopian society in which all health needs are now medically solved, but society is in turn controlled by health and the government.

I'll go ahead and get right into why such an idea I find interesting ended up so poor, given my liking of various dystopian anime and other works. Harmony is very barebones in its approach. A large amount of information is dumped onto viewers through the viewpoint of the main character, Kirie Tuan regarding the society and her experiences. ...

Preliminary (6/13 eps)
Before watching Concrete Revolutio, there's much to like and catch your eye. Bones is always an interesting studio, the artstyle pops, and it's about superhumans. But the real problem is what comes after.

Concrete Revolutio follows an organization that seeks out superhumans and protects them in order to maintain public order. This show's plot isn't necessarily beat up some guy abusing his power and terrorizing the city which is a good thing. But it starts to fall wayward soon after its start.

The big issue I have with the show is that nothing is properly connected. This is not because of the occasional transitions between the current ...
