It was difficult to call it until I watched through it a second time, but The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat is a pretty good anime. The plot follows Yokodera Youto, who is for all intents and purposes, a massive pervert like ninety percent of guys his age. Plot stuff ensues with the main female […]

Review: Patlabor OVA Series 1 (Blu-Ray)
There’s something beautiful about the OVAs produced in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Tokyo Ghoul Season One is a 12 episode TV anime aired between July and September 2014 based on the manga of the same name. What this means is that the anime adaptation does not follow the story line of its manga counterpart, which I only found out after I finished the series. This series is a survival battle between ghouls […]
