When A Certain Scientific Accelerator hit my mailbox, I was unaware of this entry in the Index saga. So needless to say I had to squeeze in the time to watch it being a fan of the entries in the series I have seen so far. This series follows the antagonist of the prior entries…
Blu-ray Review – Africa Salaryman (Funimation)
I don’t really believe this, but at times I feel that maybe we all are living in a simulation. Coincidences being so on the nose on the regular that it feels like it’s been written to be that way. A few weeks ago the Blu-ray of Africa Salaryman ended up on my doorstep, at the…
Blu-ray Review – Arifureta : From Commonplace to World’s Strongest (Funimation)
I’m beginning to feel like I am trapped in a world of Xerox copies of Overlord. Every anime I watch people are getting trapped in fantasy worlds or video games, and most fight their way out, or save humanity. Some of these are good. Some of these are watchable, and I’m sort of wondering what…
Blu-ray Review – Dr. Stone (Funimation)
OK, so sometimes I’ll get a series in the mail with no expectations pop it in and just watch. I like these, because honestly it offers some amount of surprise, sometimes good, sometimes bad. In the case of Dr. Stone I hadn’t even heard of the show, and by the end of Season 1’s first…
Blu-ray Review – The Ones Within – Complete Series (Funimation)
When I started “The Ones Within” I thought I was in for just another series where people from the real world get thrown into their video game of choice. It seems in the aftermath of Overlord, this type of thing has almost become a cliché. This one is a tad different in its approach, because…
Blu-ray Review Demon Lord, Retry! (Funimation)
I’m not sure if this genre was spurred on by the success of Overlord, but it seems as if the last few years, we have seen an abundance of “isekai” anime. Basically, we see an average person transported into a fantasy world, mostly a video game one as in Overlord. Which is what we have…
Blu-ray Review – Astra – Lost in Space (Funimation)
Astra – Lost in Space follows a group of students from Caird High School. They live in a future world where students go on fields trips to other planets like we would go on trips to theme parks or museums. This is this class’ first trip to space, and as such they are largely inexperienced….
Blu-ray Review – Overlord Season 2 (Classics, Funimation)
I have a tendency to not watch things as they go live, but when I eventually get a disc copy of them later, so while I watched Season 1 of Overlord a few years ago, I had yet to get to Season 2 (or 3 for that matter). I do remember enjoying watching Overlord S1…
Blu-ray Review – Black Clover Season 1 (Complete Collection, Funimation 1-51)
I play a lot of D&D, and read fantasy fiction in my spare time, so any anime that has wizards and fantasy settings I’ll at least give a shot to. I’ve been hearing about Black Clover for a number of years now, but really never gave it the time, especially with the basic comparisons as…
