Kurayami Dance is one of the most unique mangas I've ever read. It feels like someone's personality in both text and drawing are imbued into every page of this 2-volume story. It's one of my favorites not just because of the witty dialogue or the stunning art (which is what hooked me in the beginning), but also the concepts that, although seemingly distant from each other, are all closely aligned.

Premise: Wataru Kaido is an undertaker by day, motorcyclist at night, and in chapter 1 he seeks to go past 300 miles per hour on the mountain roads because he's "in a rush to live." ...

Preliminary (168/279 chp)
You could say that this manga is the combination of the delinquents genre and the concept of time travel, all in one: an unlikely combo which end up working beautifully. It is also about friendship, total bromanship, and the thick ties that connect these guys that go through fights and hardship together. Don't just read the manga synopsis and decide not to read this, it is much MUCH deeper than it so implies.

Story: 10/10
Wakui Ken has set in place a very solid story structure within Tokyo Revengers that continues to carry the plot at a steady cadence, never letting it fall into monotony. There ...

NO spoilers : )

Premise: Fudatsuki Kenji has to constantly care for his younger vampire-like sister, scaring away all people around her (protecting them from her), while also acting as her daily blood bank. During their time in high school they run into romantic hijinks (with other people of course) as well as realize their special familial bond.

Fudatsuki no Kyouko-chan attempts to fit into a specific popular genre of "episodic, infinitely repeating, and comical expressions of love or understanding between people who will never admit their feelings until the last chapter," instead of something deeper and perhaps more controversial like what the premise promises. ...

This was a train wreck of a show. Nihon Chinbotsu 2020 has about a hundred natural disaster movies and series already existing at its disposal to examine and improve off of, but somehow it is astronomically worse than any other I've seen.

Story: 6/10
I can see how the plot is supposed to progress: new people join the group while other people are picked off (wow, who next??) and die in relatively unique ways. They progress through sinking Japan trying to find their way out. Except what is the end goal? I understand that in real life it would be difficult to have an objective other ...

Kujira no Chouyaku is the embodiment of what can only be described as a peace of mind. Based on a children's book also by Tamura Shigeru, Kujira no Chouyaku focuses on the leap of a single whale through the glassy ocean and the memories it stirs up of people who witness this special event.

As per the English title (Glassy Ocean) this world's ocean is glass; people traverse the wavy glass landscape while fish still swim underfoot and glass marbles float around in the sky. If you think about it too hard, it seems more like an apocalyptic world rather than a peaceful place, but ...

Trigun: Badlands Rumble is a patchwork of scenarios from the main series, portrayed in the trademark (or overused, as some might say) story progression of the Trigun franchise. While trying to appeal to the Trigun aesthetic they completely miss the mark about what Trigun was really about.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Story:
Admittedly, I don't hate when a story is predictable. Sometimes it's nice to get riled up over expecting something to happen, then being satisfied when it finally happens. What really makes me mad, though, is when the writers pull something out of their ass so astronomically bullshitted (Main cast getting all sad over a VERY important character ...

Blood-C (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Synopsis:
Blood-C is about Kisaragi Saya, a second-year high schooler who lives in a quiet town, who is a shrine maiden, being a cute moe blob by day but a badass katana wielder by night. She is protective of those she loves and fights against the monsters "Elder Bruins" at night in order to keep them safe.

Characters:
Saya, honestly, was hard to watch at times, but as a moe blob she was alright. I think her redeeming characteristic, honestly, was her character design; I love it. She looks awesome. Now onto the next characters: They're nice cliches and all, but their character development is ...
