Anime Review #100: Violet Evergarden

Well, here we are, readers. One hundred Anime Reviews completed! Over the last five years I've been handling this blog I've made it a requirement to share my thoughts on at least one anime per month, and through that time, I've seen its format has evolved as well as my writing style here, with much …

Anime Review #99: Hanasaku Iroha

People often like to bring up the various shows or projects that they've been putting off for the longest time.

And the anime …

Anime Review #94: Paprika

I shall now be making my first movie review of the year! Satoshi Kon's Paprika, like my investigation into Little Nemo: Adventures In Slumberland and Netflix's Slumberland, focuses on the world of dreams. Instead of focusing solely on characters who navigate through a dream world and has their adventures there recorded for our amusement, here …
