At A Glance Anime – Short and Spoiler-free Reviews by TheAwersome
In November 2018 I started writing anime reviews, about one a week, and posting them in the Discord server for the Twitch stream I run with my wife (check us out at https://twitch.tv/retrodatenight). After about 70 of them piled up, I decided they needed a platform that’s easier to access and navigate. That’s this!
An ensemble Reverse Isekai piece with a strong (though slightly less brutal) Fate/Zero feel to it. This takes a hard meta route and is ample with rich philosophical dialogue and design choices.
A completely revamped and beautiful beginning to a different Evangelion story. It was so nice to see crisp HD updates and detail, with more focused storytelling with pieces of the fat trimmed out, but this first movie is mostly the same story you know.
There are a good number of words/phrases in Japanese that don’t necessarily translate over well into English. So, here’s a bunch that are very common that will help you get a grasp on what’s REALLY being said.
Demon Slayer is an intense shonen that proves that the genre can stay relevant. With stellar animation, music, and pacing, it lives up to its hype. Most episodes will give you full-body goosebumps, make you cry, or both.
A cozy food anime that centers on the unique joys and experience that only a small establishment can bring. If you’ve ever worked in or been a regular customer of a small restaurant, you’ll enjoy this.
