Nekomonogatari: Kuro
(Anime)
add
Pretty mid arc in all honesty. Introduces Hanekawa's dynamic with her parents only to end up forgetting about it, the idea of a real family having to live with the "perfect class president" character archetype as their daughter is a pretty neat idea in concept but it just doesn't go anywhere. At least we got to a little bit of Senjougahara's relationship with her father in the Bake, but here it seems that Nisio just didn't feel like developing core parts of Hanekawa's character. This arc would've really benefitted from a perspective shift, cutting the downtime due to long & mostly unnecessary scenes, instead giving

Nekojiru-sou
(Anime)

A friend told me to watch it, so I did. Honestly wasn't a huge fan of this, it's a pretty neat short that felt very much inspired by the works of Alejandro Jodorowsky; as the film contains plenty of surrealist visuals and abstract metaphorical storytelling, and there is indeed plenty of depth to the themes it explores, but I really wasn't a fan of the story structure. Things kind of just happen in this film, there's no real sense of plot progression which makes the symbolic aspects feel all but random, and the whole thing felt as though it lacked proper direction, but at least

Cipher is an anomaly. I have no fucking what this is supposed to be or why this was made, but regardless I can’t help but say I liked it. It’s a film that feels like it either came from a brilliant mind or an idiot who had no idea what they were doing. It summarizes several chapters of a story in a 20 minute music video, and then provides information on how it was made, and even though the hilariously awful dubbing for the first 20 minutes is in english, the interviews in the second half are entirely in japanese with no english subs. I

Kite is a film that can only be described as instant gratification, it's a film that sets up nothing, develops nothing, but manages to deliver some nice action and a stylish color pallet. This is one of the few films that I wished had a longer runtime, Kite clocks in at a measly 50 minutes, crippling itself by being much too plot and character driven, with developments and payoffs that lack any sort of emotional potency due to the lack of depth in every character. Some plot points kind of just happen without much build up and a few of the "twists" just made me

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru
(Anime)
add
An Enjoyably mediocre series that tries nothing new but remains moderately entertaining. Most of Sono Bisque’s qualities don’t really exceed expectations, the music, animation, characters, episode format as well as plot are all pretty average and inoffensive, though that still isn’t a bad thing, just disappointing considering I couldn’t escape this fucking show; everywhere I went whether it be twitter, instagram, discord wherever I was someone was talking about this goddamn show. I guess I kind of get the hype? Marin’s pretty cute and all but the way she’s written makes me feel as though the show is pandering reeaaally hard with the whole “I’m

Tsui no Sora
(Anime)
add
tsui no sora is what happens when you try to make hentai in mario paint.
i swear, this hentai is funnier than 90% os comedy anime solely due to how horrendous the animation, line delivery and screenplay are. i genuinely think this is the first time i couldn't stop laughing while watching anime. i dont know how to write reviews, so if this is unorganized as fuck, im sorry. the plot is fairly simple. girl gets fucked by 40 year old highschool kid then commits suicide, then 40 year old hs kid kidnaps girls and takes them to his sex dungeon (?) to prevent the end of ...

Elfen Lied
(Anime)
add
not a very lengthy review, but i just couldn't enjoy this show. i understand that it's supposed to have a message along the lines of: "what if humans are the real monsters due to how they treat others who are different" but fuck man this shit was hard for me to watch. the story was alright, and the sound design was pretty good, and the opening set the tone for the show in a great way. The art style was basic, probably so there would be more shock value in watching moe anime girls get blown to shit. My main problem is the characters, im
