Overview The prequel to Grisaia no Kajitsu (Le Fruit de la Grisaia) is much darker, a bit more shocking, and definitely more screwed up. Though, it certainly gets the job done in providing us how come Yuuji is the way he is.
The End of the F***ing World is undoubtedly Netflix’s first big hit of the year, and one of the few which may not be overhyped.
Like many a violent and graphic anime, while Devilman Crybaby starts off strong, it loses steam quickly and avoids the more interesting avenues it could have taken.
Every now and then a show comes along which you didn’t anticipate for it wasn’t on your radar. Rokka no Yuusha, for me, was one of those shows. Thankfully though, superficial curiosity led me to read the summary and somehow within the first few minutes, I knew I found something which certainly had to be…

SMILF is perhaps one of the few shows which doesn’t try to glamorize or make it a thing of comedy to be working class, or maybe even poor. Nor does it seek to make it into awards bait. It just presents life as many of us live it – fantasies of better and all.
In a way, The Bird Revelation, like Equanimity, isn’t really a comedy special. It is funnier than the latter but is definitely more about exploring ideas than telling jokes.
