I recently finished watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, which happens to be both the fourth part of the manga and the fourth season of the anime adaptation. Having had plenty of things to say about my enjoyment of this particular entry in the franchise on social media, I figured I would set aside […]
I recently watched “Harmony” the second film in the Itoh Project series! In brief, the story is set in a time where the world health organisation has refined healthcare down to a fine art, allowing people to reach a state of near immortality thanks to perfectly controlled pill-popping health plans. I must admit, having seen […]
‘Transformers’ is a multimedia franchise chronicling the timeless struggle of a sentient race of transforming robots. Since its first introduction into the public eye over 30 years ago, Transformers has become something of a cultural icon among western viewing audiences, defining childhoods back in the 1980s and then again in the mid 2000s with the […]

Over the past year I’ve seen an ever increasing amount of critics and viewers who are angry that anime is still spurned by those outside of the medium and its communities. While I believe that it is ultimately right we defend the art form from unjust accusations, I also feel that many critics are tackling […]
At the end of ’12 Days of Anime’ last year I made a post with a title near identical to this one, crowning off the event with a monolithic recollection of my year both on and off the blog. It was a demanding piece of work, emotionally and physically, and one that I’ve ever since […]
