Trigun / Trigun Stampede

…some would describe Trigun as a show consisting of “mostly filler”, but that is a gross misrepresentation of the truth when in actuality, each and every one of those “filler” episodes is so deeply important and strictly necessary for the viewer to appreciate and fully experience the show, filler in name only simply because of the way in which Trigun’s anime adaptation deviated from the original source material it was born from, or the way in which those filler episodes arguably “deviate” from the main plotline, a semantic and technical distinction so unbelievably misguided it is astounding.… Read more.

Happy Sugar Life

Happy Sugar Life is an anime adaptation released in 2018 by a small animation studio called “Ezόla” responsible for making only three shows between 2018 and 2020. From what I can tell, they may very well not even exist anymore. But holy fucking shit, the legacy they’ve left behind in Happy Sugar Life is something to be celebrated.… Read more.

Mahou Shoujo Site

Looking around on the internet, it’s not hard to find that not only did the anime adaptation of Mahou Shoujo Site not perform particularly well, but it was largely glossed over as being little more than a grimdark, edgy rip-off of Madoka Magica with little in the way of substance, and that’s a damn shame because I genuinely think Mahou Shoujo Site is a very solid and enjoyable show.… Read more.

Tokyo Ghoul

Now, normally I would segue into what the overall story or plot is supposed to be about after the intro sequence is over, but to be perfectly honest I have no idea how to explain the plot of Tokyo Ghoul to you.… Read more.

Squid Game

Now, I know what you’re thinking; I, of all people, actually sat down to watch something besides an anime, and an insanely popular show no less? Who is this strange man and what has he done with the overlord of #TeamProtag!?… Read more.
