Jan 34 minAnime ● Review: UltramanNothing particularly bad, but nothing particularly memorable either.
Dec 29, 20234 minFilm ● Review: Zom 100: Bucket List of the DeadDecent adaptation. Good pacing and production. Enjoyable but lacks the absurdity of the anime. (Even the anime can be more absurd.)
Nov 19, 20232 minManga Review: Sensor by Ito JunjiSupernatural-cosmic horror. Sufficiently intriguing. Decent plotting and pacing. Generally a satisfying read.
Oct 17, 20233 minFilm ● Review: Re/MemberDespite being a time-loop story with a little clumsy structuring and cheesy montages, it is still a moderately enjoyable horror film.
Aug 30, 20234 minJ-drama ● Review: Burn the House DownTacky soundtrack. Lacks explanations re some plot points. Despite its problems, a tight narrative that is still mostly enjoyable.
Jul 30, 20232 minManga ● Review: Haruiro Astronaut by Takano IchigoShoujo romance about twins Chiki and Mami with their different mentalities towards relationships. Short, simple and relatively lighthearted.
Jul 1, 20236 minManga & Anime ● Review: Orange by Takano IchigoA solid romance slice-of-life drama about living with regrets. Can use more dramatic tension but mostly avoids being too cheesy.
Apr 21, 20232 minManga Review: Junji Ito’s Cat Diary – Yon & MuHorror parodies of Ito’s experience with his wife and two cats. Drawn in his usual style. Moderately amusing, not to be taken too seriously.
