I liked the previous Jojo parts except for one - for the purpose of this review, this will not be revealed until I review said part. However, I have not been more baffled in a long time by a part of Jojo that was 'this' consistent in being badly executed, and I will explain why. The pacing of the story was decent, it was certainly even better than Part 4 and Part 3, but I found no enjoyment in the experience, I couldn't tell why at first. It even did the fights right, there was tension in each fight. But then it dawned on me, ...

Whenever one frequents the MAL website, one anime series that has consistently ranked this high for the past decade is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. When looking from the outside one does not understand why that is the case. Okay, it's an anime classic, but so is Bebop, so is Trigun, so is Berserk and Death Note. Why don't they rank as high, one might ask? Perhaps this could be because the aforementioned shows are a lot more accessible to the public and in my opinion: their stories do not have 'that' something going on that everyone; despite of background or political ideology; can necessarily ...

Based on the manga from Masamune Shirow and directed by... (Hold on a second... let's see... AH!) Shinji Aramaki - man behind such works as... I suppose he previously directed “Part 3” of Megazone. You know: the Weakest Megazone 23 OVA. He directed that. Therefore it comes as no surprise, that this movie is as much of a cliched jumbled mess of a ideas as it is. And don't even get me started on the dated CGI that ruins almost every single character design (except Briareos).

Appleseed (2004) is a CGI Blockbuster Action Sci-Fi Movie that somehow takes a Simple Story/Concept and ruins much of the ...

I, as many who found themselves watching this, must've surely at least enjoyed Great Teacher Onizuka to give this prequel (even tho, it's not really, since it came out earlier) a try. I suppose in all respects it can be considered GTO's younger brother. With GTO taking all of the spotlight and attention and also having a stronger narrative and cast of characters.

Whereas, in Shonan Jumai Gumi, the only two characters that I gave a damn about other than Onizuka were Ayumi and Ryuji. The Humor was all consistently funny, however, Story-wise this OVA instantly falls apart. With the Exception of Episode 3, this ...

Appleseed (Anime) add
Based on the manga from Masamune Shirow and directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama (who would later go on to direct "The Big O"), Appleseed (1988) gives us a sci-fi thriller plot that moves at a break-neck space, with wonderfully stunning animation, characters that are easy to get invested in and while also providing social commentary on the idea of utopianism and the role of chaos within in an orderly setting. All the while, it makes it so that it does not come across as preachy, since the characters through which the 'more' philosophical dialogue is introduced are speaking in context of their own experiences making the ...

Quite possibly one of the worst Anime Films that I have ever seen. And I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say so. While I'm sure there are other Films in the Anime Medium that are far worse, judging from what I've seen - this is the absolute worst so far.

Its position in the Evangelion Franchise is confusing. As even people who liked the more campy/bombastic bad Michael Bay esq. parody movies like Evangelion 2.0 cannot defend this in terms of its entertainment value. The only thing that gets people to defend this garbage project is rabid-fanboyism.

Contrary to popular belief, this film is ...

Trigun (Anime) add
Preface: This will be less of a Review and more of a Defense against the common criticisms this Anime sees.

To make it clear. Trigun is one of my All-Time Favorite Shows. And so explaining what exactly made it stick out for me can be a tad difficult at times without delving into the Themes. For one, it is a Sci-Fi Western Classic that blew up back when it aired on the Toonami Block, overseas. But it can be said to be a whole lot more than that.

The Majority of the Criticism for this Show comes from People who don't either understand the purpose of the ...

One Punch Man (Anime) add
Madhouse's 1st and Only Season of "One Punch Man" is genuinely one of the best shows to come out of the 2010s decade for Anime. Up there with Tatami Galaxy, it is hilarious from start to finish.

Taking the Shonen/Superhero Genre and flipping its tropes on their head. Showing them for how unmotivating, meaningless, and ultimately nihlistic their message ends up being.
While most shonen/superhero stories or power-fantasies, of the like - try to awe the viewer by giving them a sense of hope, One Punch Man shows you how that thirst for Power has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything that could be considered positive or ...

AD Police (Anime) add
Cybernetic Post-Nut Depression executed with Blade-Runner Esq' Thematic Story-Telling. Bubblegum Crisis was a very good Cyberpunk Series that had a lot of cliches from its period and overall lighter tone. This is a far-cry from that.
The Atmosphere is dark and brooding. The Sexual Overtones present throughout are not in the least erotic, rather completely horrific. More akin to representing the idea of humanity through a cold distant lense. A lense that is completely robotic and empty.

Following the titular Police Detective from the original Bubblegum Crisis series: Leon McNichol, it deals with his early days in the A.D. Police. However, other than the first episode, it ...

Angel Cop (Anime) add
Do not let the ratings fool you, this Anime is criminally underrated. A lot of it could be considered by some to be "so bad it's good" but I disagree. The same people who praise Hellsing Ultimate for being over-the-top in its plot, action and dialogue use it as a point of contention with Angel Cop. Criticisms of its Plot are biased and mostly full of shit.
Hellsing Ultimate is about Nazi Vampires & Ghouls terrorizing Britain, Angel Cop is about Psychic Je- (I mean) Americans funded by the Deep State.

Plot-wise this Anime does pretty good, It's not crazy or anything but it's servicable for a ...
