Sagrada Reset (Sakurada Reset): Season 1/ Episode 1 “Memory In Children” [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

At first, you’ll admire the tone, pacing, and what this anime seemingly wants to do. However, after awhile, you begin to wonder how long is this episode and if you could really deal with Haruki’s monotone voice another minute.

Thirteen Reasons Why: Season 1 – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Thirteen Reasons Why: Season 1 sets an almost impossible standard for what may follow. For YA novels, Netflix has presented an adaptation which is no holds barred and barely snips away at anything. In fact, it does what many don’t think to do. It fleshes out the characters who we heard about in the books, and makes…

Granblue Fantasy The Animation: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Girl In Blue” [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Granblue Fantasy comes off pretty much by the books in terms of story and almost a bit dated when it comes to art style. Leaving you very little reason to commit to this series unless you need background noise for your Saturday afternoon nap.

Thirteen Reasons Why (Th1rteen R3asons Why): Season 1/ Episode 1 “Tape 1, Side A” [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Though there are a few minor changes, mostly which are understandable, Thirteen Reasons Why starts off with things being very close to the book. Well, with the exception of us getting to experience Hannah with our own eyes and perhaps Clay not being as much of a saint.

Youjo Senki (Saga of Tanya the Evil): Season 1/ Episode 12 “How To Use a Victory” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Despite this being the season, and likely series, finale, there is no end to the exuberant amount of time talking strategy with very little action or development of the characters. Pretty much, it is a new episode and the only thing that has changed is who the enemy is.

Legion: Season 1/ Episode 8 “Chapter 8” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Legion, in a similar way to Mr. Robot, you don’t want to say sets a new standard for then it means everyone would copy it. Instead, all you can do is praise the fact Marvel decided to break the formula and put a little special attention and care into this project. Thus leading to the…

The Quad: Season 1/ Episode 9 “The Caged Bird Sings” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Sadly, in the last episode of the season, that is when The Quad seems to finally get its footing. In that, we see the perfect balance between everyday struggles of being in college or working at one, with the unfortunate soap opera drama people seem to crave.

Kuzu no Honkai (Scum’s Wish): Season 1/ Episode 12 “Two Stories” [Series Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

With many animated series, there isn’t a promise of a second season and often they aren’t setup for one. So with the focus of this finale being closure, without any shocks or what some may consider a happy ending, we are met with a slightly polarizing end. One which sort of follows that old saying:…

Greenleaf: Season 2/ Episode 3 “A Mother’s Love” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Poor Lady Mae. All her children, in some form or another, make it seem that she only thinks of herself. Of her reputation. But really, with one son working for the competition, a daughter who nearly brought the whole family to their knees, and the youngest’s marriage seeming suspect, can you blame her for being…

Big Little Lies: Season 1/ Episode 6 “Burning Love” – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Maintaining a healthy and happy relationship with your spouse and children is hard. Just like marriage, raising a child depends on compromise, defying expectation and sometimes what you thought was normal, and constant adaptation. For love is precious yet can be fleeting.

Fleabag: Season 1 – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Awkward, quirky, and cringe-worthy has become a norm for female comedians. It is like Black comedians telling jokes about white people. It pretty much has become the basic go to. However, in Fleabag Season 1, you get the sense that while Phoebe Waller-Bridge is likely embellishing and making up a few things she has gone…

Aoharu x Kikanjuu: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Let’s Start This Deathless Death Match” [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Introduction I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting out of Aoharu x Kikanjuu, but what ultimately was delivered was something less than what I desired. Which isn’t to say the show is bad at all, for this wouldn’t be the truth. However, between Tachibana falling for Masamune, slowly but surely; the mock gunfights; and…

Skins: Season 7/ Episodes 5 & 6 “Rise” [Series Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Something you’ll notice off the bat with Skins “Rise” is that unlike “Fire” and “Pure”[note]Of which I lost the review for but it honestly seems like a disappointing arc, based on the comments below[/note] the tone of the arc isn’t even remotely similar to what we are used to. For “Rise,” everything feels like a…
