Is This a Zombie? (Review)

Posted on September 6, 2021 by Roger Pocock

Scum’s Wish

Posted on February 8, 2021 by Roger Pocock

I nicknamed this anime “Misery and Tongues”, and anyone who has seen it will know exactly what I mean by that. To deal with the misery bit first, it’s a series that focuses on unrequited love, and how physical attraction … Continue reading →

11 Eyes

Posted on January 4, 2021 by Roger Pocock

Shomin Sample

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Roger Pocock

The premise for Shomin Sample is relatively simple and completely ridiculous. That might sound like a criticism but it isn’t really. Realism has never been anywhere near the top of my list when it comes to entertainment. That’s what we … Continue reading →

Mayo Chiki!

Posted on April 13, 2020 by Roger Pocock

First broadcast in 2011, Mayo Chiki! has been out on DVD for a while now, so I was lucky enough to find it in a second hand DVD shop for a good price. I thought it was worth a try … Continue reading →

Posted on March 3, 2020 by Roger Pocock
