I’ve been noticing the common recurrence of the recap episode inserted halfway through an anime. Essentially retelling the story within a single episode, recap episodes give the illusion of being important, and I used to watch them specifically for that … Continue reading How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime
I’ve been sitting on reviewing several of these anime for a while now, but now I’ve finally found the time to post these scores. As always, these scores are based on quality and whether or not I’d recommend these shows … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 8
It’s been a hellaciously busy couple of months, between putting together our top 25 animated movies list and then a million hours of overtime at work (only a slight exaggeration). We fell off the wagon a bit. In an earlier … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Satorl Marsh (Night)
