robots, death + third party induced existential crisis
Subtle rub on your cheeks for the times

Last weekend (2 weekends past now, sorry for the delay) was a refreshing set of days. We finally got that second season of Love Death + Robots and the final addition to the Castlevania series we’ve been craving for since their surprise burst unto the streaming network. For LD+R, we fell in love with its drastic dystopian themes, the colorful and different animation styles as well as its fresh anthological feel...

yasuke: the longer review.
Yasuke might give you withdrawals but...

There are very few people who could’ve withstood the urge to tweet how excited they were when Netflix’s Yasuke was announced. As trailers and teasers floated on the internet, many were dazzled by just how good it looked and felt. Obviously, that wasn’t much of a surprise considering our very own super studio, Mappa, was handling the animation....

invincible doing invincible stuff. double iconic!
Omniman punches like a madman and we're here for it, totally!

The bloody welcome party we deserved this year was presented to us in black yellow and blue. *Clears throat* It isn’t the best color scheme but it grows on you, I promise.

Surprise suprise, folks who leave moustaches aren't just creepy

It’s a cold cold night and I’m certain… scratch that It’s cold and its dawn. Worked on a tight deadline and had a very awful day, of sorts. So after I’ve settled down and gotten into bed I’m thinking maybe a couple Youtube videos then I hit the sack but I wouldn’t have imagined approximately 2 hours after, I would be writing by pure innate compulsion from watching the...

The perfect year's playlist!

2021 has already kick started in full gear and only God knows what madness lays ahead. Fingers crossed, it makes last year look like a detour through hell in comparison. One problem I think we can all agree on is the mass uncertainty surrounding the movie calendar. Drooling in anticipation over a movie close for release only to have it slingshot into...

10 “shounen things” we don’t want in 2021
When I say I detest the "Pawa of fwenship"

We love anime and if there was a way to prolong the love in there, you’d definitely see it here. But in spite of how much we love the seemingly unending titles and the singularity that is the anime medium, like all good things, it has a bit of a “rough roster” when it comes to things which are utterly unnecessary and even, contrarily, have negative effects on the stories we’ve...

Happy New Year!

2020 has finally and thankfully left us, but us we rejoice and relish having escaped to a new year, we must not forget some of the positives of the previous one. Whilst my previous article about the best movies of 2020 included earlier arrivals such as The Invisible Man, Palm Springs and Bad Education, this list will focus on the best films that were...

4 anime you should see before attack on titan returns
The Monolith of a series is upon us...Merry Christmas!

Throughout the year we get an almost obscene bombardment of anime. Some good, some bad and others even go as far as entering the anime hall of fame raking in both unwavering fandoms and the green stuff. But sometimes, only sometimes, several anime go unnoticed due to the towering presence of other popular anime leading to their lower patronage and generally, the views. Titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, God of...
