I am a big enthusiast of the 90's anime I grew up with. I re-watch them like crazy, especially now that I have been working from home. While I look for new anime to watch, I still keep running back to my comfort shows in order to keep a better mind-set and sometimes escape reality […]

Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, plus whatever Quibi's trying to do: all these streaming services are making my head spin. I mean, really, you're telling me I have to sign up for like seven different streaming services all for a few shows on each (HBO Max the latest)? Yes, companies all want my hard-earned […]

That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime is a pretty self-explanatory title. It tells you exactly what the story is about. And who would have thought this Light Novel (Young Adult) series would end up becoming a semi-major franchise that spawned a number of manga series and an anime? Why people in Japan, that's […]

In an interview with Crunchyroll recently published on YouTube, horror manga creator Junji Ito spoke about the origins of his work writing manga, the adaptation process with which his acclaimed manga Uzumaki will become an anime (to be released later this year), and some important tidbits of information surrounding the anime. He even implied what may be […]

Yoko Kanno might be one of the greatest pop and soundtrack composers in the world. She's certainly one of the coolest. She will always be known and loved for the soundtrack of Cowboy Bebop. The anime series, which premiered back in 1988. Her music created the perfect mood for a pop-jazz show about down-on-their-luck bounty […]

The second episode of Digimon Adventure 2020 was a worthy follow-up to the season opener, packed with action while introducing us to other characters with overwhelming us with too much, too soon. It felt like we were given just enough to grab our interest in seeing where several side storylines go. It might seem to […]

This season, My Hero Academia has given us one quality episode after the other – and "Japanese Hero Bilboard Chart" keeps that momentum rolling along. It was interesting to see how they are finally trying to get things back around to superhero action again. This episode proved much more of a balance between slice-of-life anime […]

This new vibe of offering viewers more intimate, behind-the-scenes moments appears here to stay – at least for the time being – on My Hero Academia… and I am definitely good with that. This episode was well-structured on a number of fronts and brought tears to my eyes for many reasons. From beginning to end […]

The second part of this season of My Hero Academia has had more of a slice-of-life anime vibe; however, last episode brought us back to the action we are quite used to. This episode started right where it left off and showed how Deku is more than capable of holding his own against a villain… […]

The last few episodes of My Hero Academia have definitely felt more of a slice-of-life anime vibe rather than shonen. However, it has been quite a fun change of pace so far. I like getting the chance to know more of the U.A. students , specially Class 1-A. Which we definitely have so far. It […]

On My Hero Academia "Gold Tips Imperial", we continue to see Class 1-A giving their best to prepare for the upcoming School Festival. Once again, not much really happens in this episode. Mostly set-up… but for what? Hmmm… However, I am sure that we will soon be up to our quirks in impeding doom before […]

On My Hero Academia "Prepping for the School Festival Is the Funnest Part", we get to see Class 1-A put together the plans for the school festival. While the vibe is amazing and it is nice to see them back in the school setting, not much really happened in the episode. At least it moved […]

Last episode of My Hero Academia kept the chill vibe going, and I am very glad to see our heroes-in-training back to the school setting. I know it might seem weird and oddly anti-climactic after a few of them almost died fighting the Shie Hassaikai – but we all needed some unwinding after a ton […]

Produced with respected publishers including Kodansha, animation studios such as MAPPA, WEBTOON, and Crunchyroll Studios, […]

This past weekend's episode of My Hero Academia was so much better than the last one. I think they could have shaved off some of the "apologetic crying teacher" and make it one episode instead of two-and-a-half. That said, it was much more enjoyable and made my heart so happy. Yes, it was weird… but […]

Let me start by saying that My Hero Academia "Win Those Kids' Hearts" was… okay (you can check out my review of last week's episode here). I think it was good in terms of setting up for the next one, but not my favorite in regards to content. While I enjoyed certain aspects, it moved […]

Last week's episode of My Hero Academia was an attempt to return to real life after saving Eri… you know, being a student while saving the world. They always have these type of light-hearted episodes between story arcs. However, this time there was something different: our heroes in training left part of themselves on the […]

With My Hero Academia S04E14 "Bright Future", viewers got the "sequel" we were hoping for – wrapping up and showing us the aftermath of the fight against the Shie Hassaikai. Even after three amazing episodes, it all felt like it was building up to this one on so many levels. Talk about an incredibly emotional […]

With last week's episode of My Hero Academia, a new trifecta of best episodes has taken over the show. Hands down: truly amazing. Just two words needed. While Mirio might have stolen the spotlight, Deku regains it with this battle. Together with Eri, they were invincible. This episode was so incredibly badass – including Deku's […]
