If the production could possibly maintain the level of the first two episodes this show could wind up as a real banger.

It's the same joke but at least it's a good one. Read more

I see a lot more potential here than I did after the premiere. Read more

RE-MAIN was a frustrating anime for me to watch. It could have been great. Heck it could have been one of the greatest. Let me tell you why!


Second Impressions – Sabikui Bisco
Any show that gifts us with "The bastard released the damn hippos!" has got something going for it, that's for sure. Read more


Second Impressions – Tokyo Revengers
