Eizouken is a pretty unique slice of life series. While most of this genre is "cute girls doing things", I've not yet seen the niche of animation explored. Additionally, the characters feel less like they were going for "cute" and more realistic and relatable. One detail I adored about this series is how it managed to show us every characters' history in detail, what their craft means to them. For Asakusa and Mizusaki, it's shown how they became interested in animation. For Kanamori, it shows why she's so business-minded in the first place.

However, while Eizouken went for this more down to earth approach to the ...

Fluffy Paradise seems to be an anime that suffers from it's own marketing and viewers' first impressions. If you know about this anime but haven't seen it for yourself, you have most likely encountered a clip from an anime fanpage or even crunchyroll themselves showcasing one of the cuter moments of the show. However, while it's not short on these cute moments with animals, the show itself is not exactly a "cozy" anime, and even it's opening establishes the conflicts to come.

This is an isekai in the "completely OP child protagonist with an adult's soul" subgenre. After living through a rough existence, an office ...

My Clueless First Friend is the story of what would happen if a new student became super attached to the friendless kid in the class, and was completely oblivious towards the situation. Taiyou almost immediately imprints on Nishimura like a puppy due to his chuuni tendencies, and an unbreakable bond is formed. While a lot of this anime is variations of this scenario, as the series goes on we see Nishimura-san become more confident and win more people over. There's Also a form of the "will they won't they" dynamic between the two main characters that isn't really resolved here, but could be further explored ...

Another really cute show by Dwarf in the same vein as Rilakkuma and Kaoru, however rather than being about the struggles a working woman faces, this show is more about relaxation and nurturing. This show is one part viewer wish fulfillment, one part reminding us to take things easy once in a while, and enjoyable throughout.

The stop motion animation is gorgeous here. The human characters have that same sort of look as the previously mentioned Rilakkuma and Kaoru, but the real highlight was how the Pokemon themselves were adapted into this style. I love the use of textures on the models, which can differ from ...

Preliminary (14/25 eps)
While I've not finished this season at the time of writing this review, I think I've seen enough of it as well as the previous material to have an opinion on season 3. Plenty of people in the fandom I've talked to have stated they "can't even finish season 3", and while I wouldn't be that harsh, I get where they're coming from. After season 1, it seems like Osomatsu-San has added some sort of gimmick each season that made some viewers drop the series, I suspect due to watching the series weekly rather than binging it like I have been. Season 2 had these ...

Kemono to Chat is a 30 minute OVA that's a series of skits surrounding a high school student who can talk to cats. Most of the skits can be sorted into one of three categories: the cats being crass or perverted, someone else thinks the ability to talk to cats is super cool when the protagonist knows it's actually not, or the school president is tsundere.

This OVA managed to get an occasional laugh out of me, and I think the school president really stole the show in a lot of cases. I loved the voice acting, wacky animation style that makes great use of ...

People really aren't lying about how sad this anime is, but I also feel like it's full of hope that makes me feel joy through the pain. Let me explain...

Violet Evergarden is a story that follows the titular character, Violet, and her life after a war. She was a soldier from a very young age, and is emotionally stunted: not even being able to understand other peoples' feelings or how to be independent. As she travels the world with her new job as an auto memories doll, she wants to understand the words "I love you".

Through her travels, Violet makes connections and does good ...

Hells (Anime) add
My first impressions from this movie is that it should have been split up into a short OVA miniseries rather than one 2-hour movie, as the pacing made it hard to hold my attention. However, Hells still had aspects about it that made it enjoyable.

The first thing you'll notice is the striking art style. I loved the gothic flair, sketchy outlines, and very over-the-top exaggerated animation. It captures the style of the manga well, and each colour choice is exceptional. Rinne's brighter palette really stood out against the dark, moody atmosphere and more muted tones on the other character designs. I appreciated the subtle ...

If you're looking for more of that classic Studio Ghibli magic, well you won't find it here. I went in with an open mind, and admittedly the starting sequence was promising. Plus, it was a Ghibli take on another Diana Wynne Jones novel, so as a megafan of Howl's Moving Castle, how could I not be a little bit excited? Plus, the 3D animation style didn't bother me and I was interested in how Ghibli would tackle this new style.

But it really is just a generic kids' movie you've likely seen done before. Only, it's hard to find it very enjoyable. Earwig had a ...

If I had to describe this anime in one word, it would be "boring". It was kind of funny at the start, and I liked the concepts on paper. Monsters being not so bad, telling the story from their perspective, and something like looking for a house in another world where fantastical locations could be explored! But it felt like after they went to the spooky mansion and the whale, they ran out of ideas. Then there's also the issue of a bunch of this anime being dedicated to stuff like paying taxes. If there's an audience for that, it certainly isn't me.

Sure, Letty is ...
