Reviewing Anime
Last week I gave my top 5 list of suprisingly good shows from 2017. This week I turn it around and share my top 5 disappointments from 2017. Like the last list, this isn't the list of shows I thought were the worst (those will come out in their own list with the reader's choices … Continue reading Tuesday’s Top 5: Anime That Disappointed Me From 2017
Overview: I previously reviewed season 1 of Tales of Zestiria the X, the story of Sorey the Shepherd on his journey to purify the malevolence of the world. Season 2 continues Sorey's journey as he eventually gets around to dealing with the Lord of Calamity. I reviewed this week to week here. Review (spoilers for … Continue reading Tales of Zestiria The X Season 2 Series Review
Review: While this final episode is not bad when compared to the rest of the show, it was definitely hurt by the extended break between episode 12 and 13.

Certainly his farewell to Rose … Continue reading Tales of Zestiria the X Season 2 Episode 11
And we've made it to week 10. Part of me is amazed that we're finally here and part of me is wondering why I'm still watching some of the shows I started this season, but there's still that end of season anticipation that is so much fun. Even if a show hasn't been great there's … Continue reading Winter 2017 Week 10
Review: Remembering way back when I started season 1 of this, one of me key issues was that the characters didn't feel like they were part of the world. The world was pretty and the characters were pretty, but the two didn't match. As time went on, this kind of got less noticeable (either because … Continue reading Tales of Zestiria the X Season 2 Episode 10
