It’s time to grow up some. And after this, many things will not be the same. Nor should they be. It’s bittersweet, but it’s definitely for the best.
Changing Hurts – How Land of the Lustrous Helped Me Say Black Lives Matter (Spoilers)
Land of the Lustrous
A gorgeous and fresh experience with masterfully crafted music and visuals and strong emotional elements.
“Uhm, aCksHually?” – On the Anima and Animus
“Uhm, aCksHually? Kara no Kyoukai (I refuse to ever call an anime by its English name) is really good because.." Here's some extra context that makes it less convoluted anyway.
The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai)
For having the same writer, composer, and animation studio that brings us Fate/Zero and the Heaven's Feel movies, Garden of Sinners has stellar animation and music for a boring, unconvincing story.
Girls und Panzer: der Film
While it's literally the same plot as the series, the action and animation are improved (though some action is as believable as a Fast and Furious movie). It has a vibe of watching an eSports match, just with very Moe anime girls.
Yakitate!! Japan
Yakitate!! Japan is a goofy, wholesome comedy that channels a similar vibe to the great Abridges series of the early 2010s with quality humor and the cast doesn't really take the show seriously.
Liz and the Blue Bird
I can't remember the last time I literally felt my heart flutter in pure joy at the beauty of something. It feels like it's Christmas morning and you're eight years old again.
Why Sound! Euphonium is The Best Shonen
In watching Euphonium’s first season I saw my first year in High School and my first year in College. That same tireless obsession and passion for improvement and mastery of an art.
Sound! Euphonium (Hibike! Euphonium)
Sound! Euphonium is a beautiful heartfelt piece filled with KyoAni's signature magic in the small background elements, letting you truly feel the creators' love for their work.
Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
Wotakoi hilariously and truthfully shows the joys of being passionate about what you love and finding someone with that same passion, and the difficulties when your passions don’t match. It shows the unique difficulties of working with certain personality types that are more common among nerds, and how that dynamic is different for different couples.
