It's here! A Given live action adaptation and while it took awhile to get used to Uenoyama and Mafuyu as real actors and not in anime form, this first episode is pretty great. Apparently there will be six episodes in this adaptation so I'm not sure how far through the story we'll get.
Umibe no Étranger is a movie with too many titles. I found it on Funimation with the title The Stranger by the Shore but it took a fair amount of searching to find out the movie was Umibe no Étranger on MAL. Anyway, this 59 minute shounen ai movie is nice enough but be sure to read the full review.

At no point did I want to drop this show even on a second viewing. I did however want it to speed up a bit and maybe have a little bit more happening in each episode. So what is good about the series?
After season one's fairly atrocious start, Spiritpact slowly grew into a semi-decent story. Then season two came onto the scene and it is almost as if this story has finally found its place. Review: I really didn't think much of the delivery of this story back in season one. In fact, my review of it … Continue reading Spiritpact – Bond of the Underworld Series Review: An Improvement In Every Way on Season 1
Spiritpact season 2 has finished, with some very weird timing, and I can't help but note that very few people have been talking about it. That's not very surprising given how season 1 started and usually I don't really like the argument that something gets better, but in Spiritpact's case, the it gets better argument … Continue reading Tuesday’s Top 5: Reasons You Should Watch Season 2 of Spiritpact
