God’s Blessing on this Wonderful Anime

A visual masterpiece, even by Ghibli standards. Ponyo goes the extra mile to make every little detail of its world come to life.
5 Reasons To Watch: Bastard!!
I much enjoyed how Bastard mashes together fantasy elements from all manner of inspirations. Mainly Western in origin...

Why YOU SHOULD Watch Death Parade
Death Parade is one of my favorite anime, here's why. You should watch it too.
Death Parade
Episodes: 12 Summary: Decim is the lone bartender of the Quindecim bar, but his true profession is an arbiter–a judge of where one’s soul is sent after death.…
Death Parade
There are only two guarantees in life: death and taxes. While nobody wants to die, it’s inevitable, and we all will reach that point sooner or later. However,…
Death Parade
This is one I’ve recently finished and has left me unsure about what it was trying to achieve. This appears to be an original piece of work airing…
5 Reasons To Watch: Flying Witch
If Flying Witch was intended as a sneaky marketing campaign for Hirosaki, then it did a damn fine job at it.
5 Reasons To Watch: Tri-Zenon
Few would guess that Tri-Zenon instead draws inspiration from Legend of the Galactic Heroes of all things instead.
5 Reasons To Watch: Goblin Slayer
Count the number of times the word "goblin" is used in this review.
5 Reasons To Watch: Pandora Hearts
Pandora Hearts does a great job at keeping you invested by constantly introducing new threads and resolving others.
5 Reasons To Watch: Log Horizon
Isekai were familiar and perhaps tiring trope even when this anime first released, but which Log Horizon gives an all-new spin.
5 Reasons To Watch: Peace Hame!
Though the initial plot appears like a straightforward vehicle for sex scenes, Peace Hame has more depth to it than you might think.
5 Reasons To Watch: Initial D
Initial D is the iconic racing anime. A status it has enjoyed (and defended) for two-and-a-half decades now.
5 Reasons To Watch: El-Hazard
All the different inspirations come together very well, making El-Hazard a fascinating world that I wish we could've gotten to see more of.
5 Reasons To Watch: Flip Flappers
I initially compared Flip Flappers to a mixture of Alice in Wonderland and Madoka Magica, but in truth it's more like anime Psychonauts.
5 Reasons To Watch: Gurren Lagann
Gurren Lagann is a constant barrage of delicious action scenes, full of amazing moments and hilarity. This was Gainax at its peak.
5 Reasons To Watch: Strawberry Marshmallow
Strawberry Marshmallow is straightforwardly an anime about the silly antics of a group of friends as they all hang out together.
5 Reasons To Watch: Squid Girl
Fish-out-of- water comedy tends to be rather predictable, but Squid Girl taps into some very good material for its comedy.
5 Reasons To Watch: Grimm’s Notes
All your childhood stories now feature waifus.
5 Reasons To Watch: Eromanga Sensei
I was expecting something far more trashy when I first put it on my backlog, but I ended up genuinely appreciating Eromanga Sensei.
5 Reasons To Watch: Hellsing (2001)
To kill a vampire, you need more than a stake to the heart or a 9mm to the face. Hellsing's vampires are borderline eldritch in nature.
5 Reasons To Watch: Isekai Ojisan
A person being transported to a fantasy world after an accident is nothing new, but Isekai Ojisan is not your ordinary fantasy isekai.
5 Reasons To Watch: Kekkai Sensen
I'd say that Kekkai Sensen is a series that's worthy of standing besides other Bones works like My Hero Academia and Soul Eater.
5 Reasons To Watch: Angelic Layer
Don't underestimate Angelic Layer. Its battle scenes can more than rival those of traditional shounen action anime.
5 Reasons To Watch: Interspecies Reviewers
Monster Musume may have ignited a renewed interest in anime monster girls, but Interspecies Reviewers takes the concept far, far further.
5 Reasons To Watch: MF Ghost
MF Ghost makes great use of this change in format to make its races more dynamic. There's more push-and-pull, more drama.
PODCAST: Death Parade Episodes 5-8

Don’t listen to the fridge.
5 Reasons To Watch: Magic User’s Club
In spite of the often-serious threat that the Magic User's Club faces, there is ample room for comedy across the series.
5 Reasons To Watch: Girl Meets Girl
Girl Meets Girl is a genderbending romance anime far ahead of its time when it came to representing trans characters positively.
5 Reasons To Watch: Girls’ Last Tour
"It means, when you are happy, I am happy as well"
5 Reasons To Watch: Amagi Brilliant Park
For all its comedic touches, Amagi Brilliant Park is great at drawing you in with its high emotional stakes.
5 Reasons To Watch: Yu-Gi-Oh!
They were ready for a darker series, though obviously not one that was too intense yet. Yu-Gi-Oh! was the perfect fit for that.
5 Reasons To Watch: Hakumei and Mikochi
Little Life in the Woods
5 Reasons To Watch: Bocchi the Rock

5 Reasons To Watch: Violinist of Hameln
While its original manga often preferred a silly tone with running gags, Violinist of Hameln decisively goes in a different direction.
