Preliminary (37/90 chp)
I think I was 16 when I first realized that shonen jump made content capable of
making my heart skip a beat in that embarrassing to talk about kind of way.

It was Nisekoi, in case you're curious.

A silly little manga about two kids who kind of hated each other in that late
2000s mutually-assured-tsundere kind of way. Cheesy, repetitive, fairly horny
(for the time). I fucking loved it.

Loved it in the past tense, of course. I was their age back when I read it, and
...

Preliminary (29/? chp)
I read three chapters of this manga, shut down my computer, and called my Mother
to say hello for the first time in too long. If you're as lucky as me, you'll do
the same.

It is good when a piece of fiction that's rooted in the fictional concept of
rebirth acknowledges the importance of "family" in the development of character.

This is rare in Manga. Oda once said something along the lines of "Good
parents don't let their kids grow up to become pirates" and can you really say
that's inaccurate? I can't.

Preliminary (7/72 chp)
There is something profound about this one. Almost feels wrong to review it so soon.

It's usually bad form to write a review of something before you've watched all of it right? We wait for series to be cancelled then write lengthy reviews justifying our paradoxical opinion that it was a 7 out of 10 but we still somehow don't think it should have been cancelled after 51 chapters?

Cue sentence complaining about a rushed ending.

Move onto the next one; read illegally of course.

Fuck me it's okay folks. I mean hell how do you think I read this one? Legally? I tried I really did.

I know ...

This is the best manga I've ever read.

I've waited almost two years to share this opinion.
I was certain my feelings would change, but they didn't.
I couldn't just throw under silver every single manga that had raised me since I was a boy
over a mere couple of chapters... but that's what I'm here to tell you I've done.

I think I found this manga when the second chapter was posted on reddit and it ripped away the sleep I was
going to get that night. I was certain I'd seen something like it before. The art, the story, ANYTHING--
but I hadn't. It was perfect. Uplifting. ...

A Review of Promare:

Six thousand people sat and stood in wait for twelve hours for this movie. They got more than what they came for.

When the movie started I remembered just how good Kill La Kill was; not overall, but at the beginning. You know, the first five minutes where the entire setup and exposition of the show just blows the skin off of your face and you fly backwards down a giant obsessively beautiful mountain of detail all to fly forward on the ground into a close up of Ryuko's face...

Ryuko: "So this is Honouji Academy..."
Audience: *gargling noises*

That was pretty good... Promare made ...

Inexplicably wondrous and enchantingly beautiful.

If you've ever seen an episode of Mushishi, you probably have felt some of what this manga will make you feel.

If you've ever read Omoide Emanon, you probably have felt some of what this manga will make you feel.

I can fathom no way to improve it, other than that I want to feel more of what this series made me feel.

A perfect series can end one of two ways. It can end with all ends tied and all arcs closed, or it can leave you with a longing to erase your memory of the series so that ...

Review of "Your Name."
Directed, Written, and Created by Makoto Shinkai

"Your Name." is, in a word, a journey. A journey into what will surely be the future of cinematography, as well as a journey on a grand emotional roller coaster.

Technically speaking, labeling this film a "masterpiece" is an insult by omission. Given that Shinkai is a master, anything he makes is obviously going to be a "masterpiece," but among silt there is gold, and among gold there may be diamonds. This movie is a diamond, easily the prettiest feature length film I've ever seen; more so than even fetishistic attempts to be just ...
