I've been thinking about this recently and this week I came to a conclusion - unless you're interested in football (soccer), it is hard to get invested in Ao Ashi. It's a great sports anime, no questions asked. But the reason why it doesn't go "boom" may be because of its treatment of the sport. … Continue reading Ao Ashi Episode 8 Review

Dance Dance Danseur Episode 8 Review
"Ah, they're kids" is one of the things that constantly kept coming to my mind while watching this ep. This whole "teenager energy" is omnipresent among the main cast this arc has been focusing on - I'm not that old nor far from my teen years (currently 19), but it's been far enough to get … Continue reading Dance Dance Danseur Episode 8 Review
Edens Zero Chapter 192 Review – Weisz vs. Killer
So Draken will be forever relevant, uh? No wonder he's the best villain. Weisz is quick to realize that the "mother" he see in front of him is a hologram, and starts attacking Killer. Taking advantage of the environment, the young professor uses Machina Maker to overthrow his opponent, something he does with relative easiness … Continue reading Edens Zero Chapter 192 Review – Weisz vs. Killer
Ao Ashi Episode 7 Review
My conclusion towards Date's issues with Ashito? It could all be solved if he gave the boy a chance to learn. But we'll get to that later. Meanwhile to the events of the ep, Hana is still highly supportive of Ashito - it's become clear to me that the player the young boy reminds her … Continue reading Ao Ashi Episode 7 Review
Dance Dance Danseur Episode 7 Review
Damn, this series is freaking awesome. I know I repeat it every week, and I'm a broken record by now - but it's really that great. One of the aspects that fascinates me so much about it is how it portrays growth. For these characters (Junpei in particular) - growth in ballet, growth as a … Continue reading Dance Dance Danseur Episode 7 Review
Edens Zero Chapter 191 Review – Zombie Nurses
Scary and arousing has never been more confusing. With Rebecca now gone into the nightmare dimension, Clown doesn't lose any time and electrocutes Happy and Pino though interestingly, tates that there's another goal beyond his creation, something even Wizard alludes to before sending Shiki back to the arena. Upon finding Homura and Brigandine, Shiki uses … Continue reading Edens Zero Chapter 191 Review – Zombie Nurses
Ao Ashi Episode 6 Review
Compared to the other football anime coming up this year which I have knowledge of prior to its airing (Blue Lock), I have to say that I'm fairly impressed with how head-on Ao Ashi approaches the sport as apparently we'll be seeing all the process that leads one to become pro in this world - … Continue reading Ao Ashi Episode 6 Review
Dance Dance Danseur Episode 6 Review
With the spectacle that was the last ep, I had kinda forgotten that we were yet to find out who the MVP would be. Well, the first 2min reminded me of it and turns out its neither Luou or Jumpei because as Ayato Oikawa stated, that what they were doing "was not ballet." Of course … Continue reading Dance Dance Danseur Episode 6 Review
Edens Zero Chapter 190 Review – The Greatest Show from Hell
Come on Rebecca, pull the one tenth trick! After a short break we're back to Edens Zero and what better way to start than having badass Rebecca kicking some ass? Yeah, our main heroine is still fighting Clown and much like the snippets shown in the previous chapter, it's still fun! Rebecca's Overdrive is allowing … Continue reading Edens Zero Chapter 190 Review – The Greatest Show from Hell
Ao Ashi Episode 5 Review
Coming to this week's Ao Ashi, I knew it'd emotional. The last ep did set it up and the preview was pretty clear about it. But the experience of watching was simply amazing. There was so much humanity in the whole ep... it was simply amazing. But moms are moms and they're super. Ashito's mom … Continue reading Ao Ashi Episode 5 Review
