Wonder Egg Priority’s jubilant packaging proves to be a challenging and engaging bait and switch for a production that explores the impacts of mental health on young women in contemporary Japanese society. Wonder Egg Priority focuses on the experiences of Ai Ohto, a high school student completely disengaged with her school over the impacts of […]
In/Spectre The Complete Season promises a combination of supernatural thriller smashed together with amateur detectives and a fair whack of bloody violence. All of which sounds delightfully entertaining, but with a lot out there to compete against it will be a challenge to stand out from the crowd. Set in modern day Japan, In/Spectre The […]
Gleipnir at first glance seems to visually revel in the subversive dichotomy of twisting a cute plushie thingie into a monster. At least that was my first impression based on the key art – the reality is an interesting exploration that thankfully dives a little deeper than the potential edgelord premise it might have had. […]

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 […]
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 […]
