I’ve been trying desperately to catch up on some more recent series, and one I’ve been particularly interested in was this one. After all the talk of MHA, it’s refreshing to see a VERY different take on hero society.
BUT IS IT ANY GOOD? Find out below, and as always, SPOILERS AHEAD.
Continue readingIt’s been a while since I’ve posted an anime review, so I figured I’d pad my site with a fairly recent series! Sengoku Youko is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish, and I’d love to spoil it for you.
In case you didn’t get it, spoilers ahead.
Continue readingAnime review time, y’all! And a doozy at that: a fanservice-y, action-moe-comedy adventure, that is Yozakura Quartet (the later episodes, not the original series)!
I decided to review these three arcs together, since they are meant to be part of the same continuity (the original series deviates a bit compared to these ones, which is why we’ll be ignoring it for now).
Here is a brief synopsis from MAL (this one’s hard for me to explain for some reason):
The world of Yozakura Quartet is actually not one, but two worlds: one of humans, and one of youkai. Despite appearing mostly human, youkai may have animal like physical traits, along with a number of special abilities. Normally youkai are confined to their world, but some have found their way into the realm of humanity. As a symbol of peace, and a bridge between the two realms, a city was constructed within the protective barrier of seven magical trees, otherwise known as the Seven Pillars. This city of Sakurashin is home to both humans and youkai, with the peace between them maintained by the Hizumi Life Counseling Office.
The director of this office is Akina Hiizumi, a teenager with the inherited family ability to perform “tuning,” which can send harmful youkai back to their world permanently. He is aided by a group of girls, including the town’s 16 year old youkai mayor, Hime Yarizakura, their town’s announcer and resident telepath, Ao Nanami, and Kotoha Isone, a half-youkai who can summon objects just by stating the object’s name.
As new residents enter and mysterious events begin to take place, this quartet of protectors and their closest friends must continue to guard the city of Sakurashin, and maintain the fragile balance of peace between humans and youkai.
This show is one of my favorites, though as I rewatched this particular series, I realized it may be a bit… much for people just getting into anime. Some of the fanservice and jokes may not have aged well, also.
So take everything I say with a grain of salt, and as always, spoilers ahead!

Today, we will be taking a look at a show that tackles a specific future: AI and the destruction of humanity. Did you guess right? It’s “Vivy ~Fluorite Eye’s Song~, a series that has one hell of an opening scene, and even more hell of a story!
A little look at the plot synopsis, created from my own mind:
The story follows the beginning of artificial intelligence’s rise to commonplace, as AI begins to grow in both popularity and usefulness. Specifically, a musical-type AI named “Diva” struggles to gain an audience, though she is “encouraged” by a human child to aim for the big stage. Her coding is suddenly intruded on by another AI named “Matsumoto”, that tells her she is the key to preventing an AI apocalypse. As she tries to ignore him / get rid of him, she becomes more aware of how true his mission is – for better and for worse.
And for once, I will ACTUALLY be spoiling some major points, so SPOILERS AHEAD!

Today’s review tackles a show that I hadn’t had the desire to watch for a while, but took a shot and watched it. MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES is definitely a unique show, but it’s got enough of a following that it must be good, right?
Here’s a quick synopsis:
In this world, magic is prevalent, and almost everyone in it can use magic to some degree – except our protagonist, Mash Burnedead, who was born without a mark (basically, has no magic potential). He instead trains his body to the max, day in and day out, at the behest of his father, who hopes this is enough to protect him from the sinister underbelly of the magic world. But an event endangering his happy family life forces Mash to enroll in the magic-centric Easton Academy and try to become a Divine Visionary – a person deemed as one of God’s chosen. Will Mash be able to succeed in his studies and live in peace?
Spoilers start now.
