Reviewing Anime
The Slow Burn With The Satisfying Conclusion Where do you even start with The Promised Neverland? As a viewing experience it is an extraordinary roller coster of emotional highs and lows, of fearing for the safety of characters, of being annoyed at times by the distractions of minor characters or plot points, but ultimately it … Continue reading The Promised Neverland Series Review
The Promised Neverland Episode 12 - No chance of avoiding spoilers in a review of the final episode but let's just say this was a lovely way to close the season and leave it totally open for another.
The Promised Neverland Episode 11 - Its finally the eve of Ray's birthday and both Emma and Ray have a plan. However, only Emma's plan will keep Ray alive so I'm thinking they should go with that one.
The Promised Neverland Episode 10 - Norman's time is us and the impact on Emma and Ray is tremendous. However, there are still a few potential twists in this tale.
The Promised Neverland Episode 9 Review - It is an absolute literal cliff hanger and it was brilliant.
Boogiepop wa Warawanai episodes 9 and 10 wrap up the Imaginator arc and kick off the new story. However, as has become fairly customary we're left with more questions than answers and some fairly thin babble to try to close out one mystery. While there is a sense of forward momentum that was sadly lacking in the beginning, the overall experience of watching Boogiepop is still a pretty ordinary one.
The Promised Neverland Episode 8 Review - Tension and suspense explode this week as the slow crawl finally reaches a major turning point. With Sister Krone's story coming to an end and some major progress on Isabella monitoring the kids' escape plans, episode 8 is definitely upping the game as we head towards the end of the season.
The Promised Neverland Episode 7 - The sister proposes a deal and after confirming a few points Norman and Emma accept it. However, there is no trust in this alliance and it might be over before it even really begins because the other player in the house clearly has their own plans at work.
Kaguya-Sama Love is War Episode 6 Review - Much like another anime title this season, Kaguya-Sama Love is War opted to use episode 6 to drop another character into the mix. While Ishigami has so far been relatively entertaining, the dropping him into the story and then treating him like he'd always been there was just a bit off and felt like the author was kind of desperate to expand on the basic concept.
Boogiepop wa Warawanai Episode 7 Review - Well, conceptually this remains interesting and the execution remains incredibly dull. I actually did fall asleep during this episode and had to go back and watch again. As much as I'd love to know what is going on, I just find each and every character here completely flat.
