This was not minimalist animation, this was straight-up minimal. Read more
Second Impressions – Koukyuu no Karasu
The bubble was invented for shows like Koukyuu no Karasu. 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
