AQUARION Myth of Emotions – Episode 1
I'm a total newbie to Aquarion, which either makes me perfect for this anniversary outing or in deep trouble about two episodes from now.


First Impression: Aquarion: Myth of Emotions
“Perched above the yet oceanless ocean, there was once a dreamer. The dreamer dreamed about all the things in the world.” A beautifully illustrated creation myth of sorts…


Aquarion: Myth of Emotions Review — D+
Still confused by how this series resulted in Aquarion Evol and why they didn’t just stop when they were ahead…


A Hard Recommend – Aquarion: Myth of Emotions
This season has been generally really good. Some solid sequels, some good continuations from things that aired last season, and some good original-ness. Take that for what you…
Aquarion – Myth of Emotions #01 — …Where’s the Big Kaboom?
In many senses. There's five premieres today, plus Momentary Lily's second episode, and since I slept in a bit, five of the six shows were up by the…

Second Impressions – Hikari no Ou
This is why we can't have nice things. Read more

What's striking about these first two eps is as much what's absent as what's present. Read more


Second Impressions – Oshi no Ko
It's fair to say I went into this episode flying as blind as you realistically can having just watched 90 minutes of a series. Read more

AKIRA: The 24 Frames-Per-Second Myth

Second Impressions – Bartender: Kami no Glass
The symbolism of all this isn't exactly subtle, but there's a reason bars and bartenders are such a timeless and integral part of fiction.


Second Impressions – Tonari no Youkai-san
I don't think this is going full despair, but you definitely saw that little hint of a darker side grow into full-on expectation.

Second Impressions – Hakozume: Koban Joshi no Gyakushuu
I wouldn't say this episode moved the needle much either way for me. Read more


Second Impressions – Ao no Miburo (Blue Miburo)
I can already kind of tell that Ao no Miburo is going to be one of those series I want to like more than I actually do.
