Overview: Tsukishi Tsukamoto doesn't really have friends and doesn't really have much going on but he's a nice guy. One day, after starting high school, Kazama invites him on a whim to play and soon after Tsukamoto decides he wants to join the Seiseki Soccer team. Problem is, they are a really good team and … Continue reading Days Series Review
2016 was a great year for anime and while I don't really ever intend just to do a list of top 5 characters ever I kind of feel I can pick a favourite from a single year. Much like my reflections post, this one is entirely my own opinion so feel free to add your … Continue reading Tuesday’s Top 5: Female Characters from 2016
Review: Well, if you made it this far through Days you won't come across anything surprising in this final episode of season 1 (let's all say thank-you that season 2 has already been confirmed or this would be a very different review about a lack of resolution). Basically if you have enjoyed the ride to … Continue reading Days Episode 24
Review: So Days continues to surprise me as it makes me care time and again about the outcome of the game even if it feels this week like it was a foregone conclusion. The ride getting to that final goal was definitely exciting. Of course, once again, we spent the entire episode watching the game … Continue reading Days Episode 23
Review: After two full episodes the game still isn't over and I must point out that the animation definitely took a downward turn again this episode. Normally that doesn't bother me but the sheer number of still images this week, plus some really terrible faces on background characters, kind of ruined the overall tension of … Continue reading Days Episode 22
Review: The game from last week continues and we see both sides make some mistakes and we also get to see the team's first years struggle to deal with the pressure of suddenly being forced into a high pressure game. At the centre though is Tsukamoto who has finally genuinely found a love of the … Continue reading Days Episode 21
Review: Days continues into the tournament and we injure yet more players before the semi-finals. Of course, we only make it into the first couple of minutes of that game before it is episode over. So what did we do for the rest of the episode? Well, we spent a lot of it with the … Continue reading Days Episode 20
At the end of week 7 of Autumn 2016 and the anime are really working hard now to either keep our attention or just ensure they don't fall apart toward the end. For the shorter shows we're about to hit the final sprint to the finish. That said there are plenty of shows going beyond … Continue reading Autumn 2016 Week 7
Review: Days doesn't do all that much this week and yet kind of does what it needs to. The summer camp ends (and amazingly Tsukamoto and Kazama are just over their conflict so that was a plot thread that went nowhere) and they are now in the preliminaries fighting for a spot at nationals. Events … Continue reading Days Episode 19
Review: My opinion about Days as a series is unchanged. There's a number of issues with pacing and characterisation going on. This episode, however, I loved. From start to finish I was absolutely engrossed. It helped that the main focus of this episode were the characters on the team we've spent the most time with. … Continue reading Days Episode 18
