Good Night World Anime Series Review
Initially, Good Night World seems like another VRMMORPG anime with little originality. Until episode six, when specific plot points, throwaway lines, and unusual concepts culminate in a stunning twist.
― Normally, I’m allergic to Sword Art Online-esque VRMMORPG anime, or at least they leave me cold. Other than a brief dalliance with impersonating a hot cat-girl in Final Fantasy XIV, I’ve steered clea…

A Girl and Her Guard Dog Anime Series Review
The story is meant to indulge the fantasy of a sexy older man returning your feelings. However, I doubt many people’s fantasies involve hands that look like flesh-colored gloves, or facial features that warp from moment to moment.
― Let’s get this out of the way, one last time: nothing I have to say about A Girl & Her Guard Dog is a moral or ethical judgment against the real humans who made it or th…

At least 91 individuals, including former senior leadership members and year-round volunteers, are boycotting Ohayocon following the termination of the convention’s former con chair.

Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp Anime Film Review
Despite the low-quality reputation that compilation films tend to have, I’d go so far as to say it’s the best single compilation film I’ve ever seen.
― While anime compilation films are nothing new, Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp, isn’t made up of footage from a TV show. Rather, it is the combination of three films: Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu (2016), Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu (2016), and Kizu…
