About the New Live-Action Avatar…
To be honest, I probably won’t be writing a review of the new Avatar adaptation. It’s not any good, but it won’t go down in history as one of the worst abominations of all time the way Shyamalan’s film did. Suffice it to say that it has no reason to exist, and society really needs…

My Review of Game of Thrones
In case anyone wants to hear my opinion on everyone’s favourite rape-culture-glorifying soap opera Game of Thrones and the books it’s based on, here it is.

“Little Witch Academia” Review
When it comes to many of the most popular stories, I find one can usually expect that there’s an anime out there that executes the concept way better, whether it’s Code Geass absolutely destroying a certain slow-paced American show about ice-zombies or Little Witch Academia doing the same to everyone’s favourite lightning-scarred wizard. Having just…

“The Dragon Prince” Review
Netflix’s The Dragon Prince is amazing, and you need to watch it. When I heard that Aaron Ehasz, one of the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender—my favourite show of all time—was making another anime, I knew I could expect great things. If its first season is anything to go on, The Dragon Prince will…

Why “Fullmetal Alchemist 2003” is NOT Better Than the Manga
As far as I am aware, there have been three adaptations of the manga Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa: an anime in 2003 that had little in common with the manga, another anime in 2009 that adapted it quite faithfully, and a live-action movie in 2017 that we shall not speak of. In spite of…

“Fullmetal Alchemist 2003” Anime Review
I guess it’s time for me to talk about Fullmetal Alchemist 2003. This should be interesting. In my last article I showered a fantastic manga with praise. That manga is Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa, and in 2009 it was adapted into a sixty-four-episode anime called Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, considered by many to be the…

“Violence Jack” Review
When I heard about Violence Jack from another reviewer, I thought, “That sounds almost as bad as Game of Thrones.” I’d heard this was one of the worst anime ever, that morality wasn’t a concept that existed in Violence Jack’s world, and that the male characters were all rapists, child-murderers, and worse. Now I’ve seen…

How My Little Pony Became Great
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is my favourite show of the decade so far. I don’t think anyone expected when the first generation of My Little Pony aired in the ‘80s that it would eventually become a great show, but miraculously it managed it, proving that good writing can accomplish anything. In this article,…

Sexism in One Piece
There’s nothing more certain to draw masses of ire than the criticism of a well-liked show. That said, I don’t really have much choice in the matter, as I could not ignore such blatant sexism as one finds in the nineteenth episode of the show One Piece. First of all, I have heard that the…

“The Twelve Kingdoms” Anime Review
I recently decided that, just for the fun of seeing what would happen, I’d randomly decide on an anime I’d never heard of and watch it from start to finish. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. I mean, I do have quite a lot to say about it, but the…
