Anime ● Review: Muv-Luv Alternative
Guy wakes up in a parallel timeline dealing with an alien-infested world. Harem genre cheese with mecha. Looks clean but at times a bit cheap.

Anime Film ● Review: The Silent Service
Visually excellent. Intriguing premise. Entertaining enough military action-thriller with politics even if it is far-fetched.

Comics Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin – The Lost Years
A decent follow-up to The Last Ronin. Does not have the same emotional impact but does not cheapen the work either. Nicely produced.

Animated Film ● Review: Predator: Killer of Killers
Nothing great but still interesting to see different Predators in different eras. If one walks into this without any expectations, then it can still be enjoyable.

Anime Film Review: Wicked City
Looks impressive as a noir action-fantasy thriller. But it tries too hard to be edgy with all the sex and violence and comes across as a bit too cheese.

Looks slick and good voice acting but the plot and themes of this boy and girl android pseudo-romance are contrived. Tries to be emotion porn and fails.

In a post-apocalyptic world, a man finds a “lonely innocent robot” who is the host of a planetarium. Dialogue-heavy but good production and not bad overall.

Film Review: Bullet Train Explosion
Decent production and solid performances. Tension and suspense are not bad but plateaus later. As a cheesy action thriller, it is enjoyable enough even though it could use at least one more set piece.

Plot progression is a bit convenient. But decent production and the two strong leads carry the show. Strangely watchable despite the issues.

J-drama Review: The Hot Spot
A series about a woman and her alien colleague. Takes an ordinary, almost slice-of-life approach. Well-written, deadpan and amusing.

Nothing spectacular but still a well-produced and fun show. It strikes the balance between having an overall arc and being episodic.

Cool designs but mediocre animation. Crude plotting and the lack of thought in the writing make it unconvincing and boring if not annoying.

Manga Review: Kagurabachi #01 by Hokazono Takeru
