Anime Summary: August 2015

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt



Very rarely do you find a series as different and memorable as PSG. In fact, this is a series which is so out of place that it is difficult to ascertain if what you are seeing is the most awe-inspiring thing ever made, or actually incredibly repulsive. Maybe it’s both?

Anime Summary: June 2015

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma

Firstly, before I launch more deeply into the delicious many layered onion that is Food Wars, I must stress that this is the best anime I have watched all year. It categorises itself as a series focused on cooking the most delicious food dishes, which I don't dispute for reasons I'm about to explain.

At first glance, there's not much that sets Food Wars apart. It follows the familiar pattern of many other similar series which have come before it - such as Eyeshield 21, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Yumeiro Patissiere and even more mainstream shows like Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, Fairy Tail and One Piece. Except of course, Food Wars doesn't have the raw physical brawl potential of half these other series, and therefore has to make up for it... in other ways.

New Pokémon Anime: Origins

I have high hopes for this new animated series. I know I probably shouldn't, because modern Pokémon is not what it used to be. And yet I still hope. Tragically, it seems to be a once-off TV special only with just 4 episodes.

  

  

Anime Reviews: September 2011

First up, not much anime this month. Mainly because I’m out of stuff that’s actually good, but this time also because I caught some kind of nasty flu. It’s one of those strains that causes a stuffy nose, coughing and vomiting all at once. Yup. Anyway, onto the anime!
