Anime report by Clark A. Characters being forcibly whisked away into a foreign land having to escape is a fairly commonplace premise in modern fiction. Anime, too, has taken it under its wing with popular shows such as Sword Art Online. No Game No Life, though, turns the notion of…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress (Fuse: Teppou Musume no Torimonochou) takes place in Japan during an era that is alien to most audiences. Its narrative, too, is partly based on a Japanese work of fiction that spans over a hundred volumes. You can imagine my shock…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Vividred Operation has a different tone to most anime that feature robot things fighting big monsters. This is undeniably an action fantasy anime, but it’s also one that has an ultimate message of peace and harmony. In other words, beating the big bad bosses isn’t the…
Read MoreAnime report by Clark A. It’s always fascinating how much a show can differ from the basic description designed to convert a reader into a watcher.
