Anime reviews!!! Let’s relive memories and think new thoughts! There’s never enough good sources for anime reviews! Come and offer your opinions on the shows I review! From gut-reaction to academic criticism and everything between, I welcome it all.
Reviews are not just a playground for academic blather or a way to vent an unvarnished opinion. They are a place to relive memories: memories of beautiful, powerful moments. In this medium, anime, one of the greatest of the modern arts, such memories are the true essence of the power of the world of anime. So read not just for insight or critical thought, but for the sheer joy of remembering your favorite shows.
You’re in a SPOILER MINEFIELD here, so tread carefully. Reviews come after watching the show, so despite my efforts I cannot avoid all spoilers.
Irasshaimase!
This is not typical isekai. Actually it’s way off the ordinary isekai track. Most isekai shows are subjected, sometimes unfairly, sometimes not, to the charge of being very cookie-cutter, sharing too many characteristics, to the point that one seems very much like a copy of the next.

This beautiful showcase of audio-visual artwork is about as good as a lightweight fantasy/rom-com combo could be. I had zero expectations going in—honestly I started watching it because I saw the video clips of Alice teasing Bocchan…
Keep readingA true anime fan’s anime. Perfect from start to finish and throughout every aspect, this is 100% an anime that an anime fan should like. Hawk, are you becoming one of those critics whose tastes have diverged so irrationally and wildly from the mainstream that you “like” works that the general public doesn’t appreciate? You…
Keep readingWhat a magnificent mixture of slice of life and rom-com and a little mystery and total cuteness! This show is full of heartwarming moments and beautiful characters. It’s so simple yet so sweet, I looked forward to this every week as I watched the simulcasts. You wouldn’t think a show that dwells on the ordinary…
Keep readingThe award for Kawaii-est of the Kawaii for 2022 goes to… Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost is hella kawaii. That’s about all there is to it. It keeps the emotional impact light. It’s fun, but also belabors the point a little bit. But what it never stops being is kawaii. This is a…
Keep readingA work of matchless beauty, the headline might read if my reviews made it into a TV promotion ever. That is not an overstatement. Fairy Tail is one of the most beautiful anime ever made. If you’re shocked at this statement, knowing I am a critic not prone to overstatement, particularly when discussing beauty—I nevertheless…
Keep readingVisit our partners! Thanks to all those who collaborate with Anteiku!
