Review: Haikyu!! Complete Season 1 (DVD)

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.

Review: Bleach Movie Collection (DVD)
As a staple shounen for many years, Bleach was, unsurprisingly, one of the shows I was introduced to when I first started watching anime. That being said, I haven’t actually finished watching all of the show yet, having only made it to episode 266 before distracting myself with the numerous selection of other shows that Japanese animation has to […]
