I had a truly bizarre, reality-bending moment while watching the first episode of No Game No Life. There were the two protagonists, Sora and Shiro, suddenly just yanked out of their world, now thousands of feet up in the sky, in free-fall, heading at breakneck speed towards the ground of another unfamiliar, alien world, andContinueContinue reading “No Game No Life Ep. 1 highlights the yearning for escapism”

GUNNM, Alita’s source material, is just as cinematic as in any other medium
I went to see Alita: Battle Angel this weekend. I’m not going to add to the deluge of hundreds of other reviews of the movie coming out on the internet right now, but I will say this: it’s entertaining, groundbreaking, totally worth your time, and you should go see it, if only to reward filmmakersContinueContinue reading “GUNNM, Alita’s source material, is just as cinematic as in any other medium”
A good day for Gintama
Gintama’s three MCs: Gintoki, Kagura and Shinpachi. I’m taking some time out of my busy(?) schedule of binge-watching Gintama° (note the ‘ ° ‘, it’s important) to make a public service announcement: if you’re a fan of anime, or just a fan of comedy in general, then you really, really, really should be watching/reading theContinueContinue reading “A good day for Gintama”
Berserk – The Eclipse
So I’ve been reading Berserk for a couple months now. It’s the first manga that I ever bothered to pick up and read, largely because of it’s reputation as possibly the greatest of its medium, ever, and also because I was pretty impressed with the 1997 anime adaptation. It’s been quite a journey so far.ContinueContinue reading “Berserk – The Eclipse”

While I found the show to be extremely funny and exciting, as expected, it also left me with quite a bit to think about and relateContinueContinue reading “One Punch Man Ep.1 – When fun things become unfulfilling”
Death Note Episode 1 – Well that escalated quickly
Just look at this guy… look at him. Death Note is a show that is quite unique to me personally, for two reasons: it was basically the gateway series for where I am now in terms of anime fandom; and secondly, I actually never finished the damn thing. About two years ago, I remember beingContinueContinue reading “Death Note Episode 1 – Well that escalated quickly”
Neon Genesis Evangelion is the first manga I ever completed
I’ve been into anime for a couple years now. The dive into this medium inevitably leads a lot of fans to what is the source material for many of the best known, most celebrated anime titles: manga. Apparently, I’m no different, and I’m now diving headfirst into manga myself. Basically, like a lot of otherContinueContinue reading “Neon Genesis Evangelion is the first manga I ever completed”
