Spice and Wolf (Season Two Review)
We kick off the second season of Spice and Wolf with an OVA episode, which feels like a holdover from the first season. It’s a lot of fun, with Lawrence tending to an unwell Holo, who ends up exaggerating her … Continue reading

The Fanservice Debate: Nisemonogatari Episode 4
Can fanservice ever be justified in anime or is it a disturbing and unnecessary aspect of the genre? In this occasional series we look at the rights and wrongs of fanservice and other questionable content in anime. A warning: this … Continue reading
Is This a Zombie? (Review)
Is This a Zombie? Well, sort of. Ayuma Aikawa was murdered by a serial killer, and brought back from the dead by a very cute necromancer called Eucliwood Hellscythe. Most of the time, you wouldn’t really know he was a … Continue reading

We Without Wings (Anime Review)
This was another impulse purchase on DVD at a very reasonable sale price, and I didn’t have much idea what I was buying. Halfway through the series, I still didn’t have much idea what I had bought. This one is … Continue reading

Mysterious Girlfriend X (Anime Review)
Akira Tsubaki is fascinated by the new girl in his class. Who wouldn’t be? She’s really odd. She falls asleep at her desk every lunchtime instead of eating anything, she laughs out loud for no apparent reason, and she wears … Continue reading

Yu-Sibu (Anime Review)
Yu-Sibu, also known as Yu-Shibu, or to give it its absurdly long full title I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job, is an anime series set in a fantasy world, with some entertaining similarities … Continue reading

Spice and Wolf (Season One Review)
Many anime series take place in fantasy worlds that take inspiration from Europe of the Middle Ages, but they tend to go no further than copying the look of the period, and use that as a starting point for creating … Continue reading

Scum’s Wish
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
This is one of an endless number of anime series where the main character crosses over into a different world. What makes this one so creepy, at least initially, is that the other world is a distortion of the real … Continue reading
Eromanga Sensei
I have skirted around the fringes of Eromanga Sensei a couple of times for fanservice debate articles, but have never written a full review. After a rewatch, thanks to the Blu-ray releases, I thought it was time to tackle this … Continue reading

Shomin Sample
