Review: Overlord (DVD)
The culmination of every defining feature of the trapped in the game genre has led to Overlord. Albeit, every defining feature of the trapped in the game genre is beginning to become stale. There’s only so many times I can watch an awkward harem form, without fail, around a socially inept geek. Not to mention how it’s […]

Review: The Future Diary (DVD)
Wow. I knew that this show had a reputation, but nothing could prepare me for what The Future Diary had in store. From the moment I began watching, this anime commanded my undivided attention, presenting increasingly messed up scenarios. Having just finished, I’m positive that I’ll be pondering this show for the foreseeable future. Although I had no idea what […]
Review: The Rolling Girls (DVD)
The Rolling Girls is fascinating – it presents a hyperactive, technicolour dreamscape peppered with a high-energy soundtrack and delivered in a fascinating post-apocalytpic setting that in many ways is the opposite of what we’d normally expect from such a scenario, anime or non. The question is on how it uses these different elements and if […]

Terror in Resonance (TIR) is an 11 episode anime aired between July and September 2014 in Japan. The main characters of this anime are Nine, Twelve, Lisa Mishima, Kenjiro Shibazaki and Five. From the synopsis to me, TIR is related to bombing, terrorists, and cops and this means lots of action, which definitely gets the […]
