I’ve never been a fan of running. I have terrible form and end up wheezing at the slightest idea of speeding up. But I checked out one episode of Run with the Wind and immediately fell in love with Haiji, and his motley crew of reluctant runners. By far, its one of the best anime… Read More Run with the Wind: Anime Review
Attack on Titan 2 was filled with a lot of information and opened a lot of doors of possibility. At 12 episodes, it must have been torture to wait years for the next installments so I’m glad I already have Season 3 waiting for me. One thing’s for sure, as the story gets deeper, it gets you more hooked to the series than ever. … Read More Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin): Season 2 Review
I have always been curious why there has been a strong following for Funimation’s anime series Shingeki No Kyojin aka Attack on Titan. Fans of the show often keep an ear out for updates and spoilers and react strongly to deviations to the plot committed by the live-action adaptation (which I plan to see once… Read More Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin): Season 1 Review
All in all, Nisekoi Live Action did a great job in compressing all the materials from the manga and the anime in just 118 minutes and fun and laughter. The storytelling was fluid and simple and the chemistry among the cast members was also very solid. This is why Japanese high school movies are the best. So cute. So earnest. So over the top. I loved it.… Read More Nisekoi Live Action: Movie Review
All in all, ToraDora easily climbed up to the list of my favorite shoujo animes because it was cute, light, interesting and truthful, albeit exagerrated on the violence part (It is an anime, after all). I particularly loved the last two episodes on how they closed the journey of the five main characters on a hopeful note. Personally though, I would have chosen a kiss as a final frame for Ryuji and Taiga after all they’ve been through instead of a classic head butt but if you bring a tiger and a dragon together, you have to expect something uncoventional. Two thumbs up for this series. If I had more thumbs, I would raise them all. How’s that for a recommendation?… Read More ToraDora : Series Review

There are many things to like about this series, so much so that I risked going to work looking like a panda because I just couldn’t stop watching the episodes available on Netflix. Just to be clear, let me run down why I, for one, became an instant fan of the series. Be warned though, this is going to be a long post.… Read More Reasons you should binge on My Hero Academia (Part 1)
All in all, I think that Ao Haru Ride was very poignant and beautiful. It slowly told its story but made it complete so as not to leave out the essential parts of the manga on which it was based. I’m glad that it had a happy ending though. I felt like I deserved that, after this emotional, beautiful film put me in the wringer. Easily one of my favorite Japanese teen movies.… Read More Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride) Live Action: Review
All in all, there was not enough time for Bleach to really tell its story but it did well enough with the time it was allotted. I think fans like myself would be satisfied with the approach but because we know what’s coming, we feel like there’s still a lot missing. Still, it was a good start — not yet an epic one, but it created enough excitement about what’s to come and that’s a success in my book. … Read More #Netflix Bleach Live Action: Movie Review
It took me a while to finish the latest version of Meteor Garden compared to my previous dramas because let me just state for the record that this is the longest Chinese drama that I have watched and my first mainland drama to complete. However, as I managed to accomplish the seemingly daunting task, I… Read More Meteor Garden 2018: Series Review
