Redline – Anime Review

November 27, 2019 by hpholo 1 Comment

While watching Promare’s spectacular animation, I was reminded quite a bit of Redline, and then when writing my Promare review, I realized I’d never actually reviewed Redline. So I’m here to remedy that. Redline is a 2009 anime that follows the gloriously pompadoured Sweet JP as he and his Trans Am compete to win the […]

Promare – Anime Review

November 27, 2019 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Pssh. Right, like a Trigger movie would come to our local theatre and it NOT be a Mandatory Date Night. Promare starts with a literal bang, as half the world’s population spontaneously bursts into flames, thus marking the Great World Blaze and the appearance of the Burnish – people with fire-manipulating powers who set the […]

Food Wars (S1) – Anime Review

April 21, 2019 by hpholo Leave a Comment

After subjecting Jacob to the emasculating experience that was Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, I decided to have some mercy and suggest Food Wars, which has become famous (infamous?) for its fanservice. Food Wars (aka Shokugeki no Soma) follows amateur chef Yukihira Soma, whose dream of becoming a full time chef at his father’s […]

Akame Ga Kill – Anime Review

February 18, 2018 by hpholo Leave a Comment

*Thanks to reader John B. for the recommendation! 😀 Akame Ga Kill is a deceptive series. Its colorful character designs and opening set up – Main character Tatsumi leaves home with two friends to join the Capital army and Be Good Guys – lead the viewer to think that it’s going to be a fun […]

The Empire of Corpses – Anime Review

April 20, 2017 by hpholo Leave a Comment

In The Empire of Corpses, the dead walk the earth. In this reality, the famous reanimation research conducted by Viktor Frankenstein was not chased away with torches and pitchforks, but rather accepted and expanded to the point where corpse engineering is an accepted field of study and the dead are revived and repurposed for tasks […]

Charlotte – Anime Review

November 30, 2016 by hpholo 2 Comments

Jacob and I reached a point last month where we couldn’t take Crunchyroll‘s repetitive commercials anymore, so we sprung for a Premium membership. Since then, I’ve been using that as an excuse to fall asleep to the sweet, sweet sounds of anime. My most recent binge has been Charlotte, which I watched primarily because I […]

Berserk (2016, S1) – Anime Review

November 6, 2016 by hpholo 4 Comments

Sometimes you just want to watch a grimdark drama where everything is a disaster and you can’t do anything about it so why bother? This year’s election coverage should sate that thirst. But if it doesn’t, there’s Berserk. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAkl2uJEuA4&w=560&h=315] Note: I’m about to spoil a whole TV series and three movies and several volumes […]
