Animated by the late Monty Oum, RWBY Season 1 is a fun and action filled series that follows Ruby and her group as the fight monsters and uncover secrets.

Princess Nine Review

by Jasmine Greene | Jan 22, 2016 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

Princess Nine is an amazing anime that is able to meld elements of sports, romance and friendship altogether. I cared about almost all of the characters and their struggle. You really feel like you’re on a journey with these girls and you can’t help but relate to almost all of them. While this might be marketed as an anime for girls, it’s really great for anyone who wants a great experience.

Tonari no Seki kun review

by Jasmine Greene | Jan 22, 2016 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

You just can’t help but smile at Seki-kun’s antics and the reaction of his “studious” neighbor Rumi. If Seki-kun were a real boy in US school’s he would likely be diagnosed with ADD because he never pays attention in class. Each episode focuses on how he deals with boredom in class. This ranges from polishing his desk to setting up a “mail service” for the class to playing shogi.

No Dropping Out – Back to School at 35

by Jasmine Greene | Jan 20, 2016 | Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

I really, really wanted to like No Dropping Out – Back to School at 35. The lead was likable and they got so much right. Unfortunately, they got so, so much wrong. I just can’t recommend it. Find out why inside!

My Love Story Review

by Jasmine Greene | Jan 15, 2016 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

My Love Story is a nice twist on the tired high school romance anime. There’s actual progress and the characters are well developed and lovable. Yes, there is some overacting here, but it never feels out of place. This is a sweet show that doesn’t fall into the standard problems of other romances. Sure, it happens, but it’s done in a thoughtful way and resolves itself fairly quickly. Go watch it!

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Review

by Jasmine Greene | Jan 14, 2016 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

Honestly, saying anything about Puella Magi Madoka Magica is potentially spoiling it. I personally was awed at the amazing story, excellent artwork and real emotion I felt throughout the entire series. It’s only 12 episodes but man, those 12 episodes are a rollercoaster.

Actually I am Review

by Bernardo Español | Dec 30, 2015 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

Actually I am is a fun gag/romance/harem anime that is a fun and short watch. The characters are interesting and the shows protagonist Asahi is fun and relateable. He is a wonderful straight man to the insane cast of characters he finds himself surrounded by. Asahi is a really likable character and you find yourself rooting for him more and more as the show goes on. Actually I am is a great light hearted romantic comedy anime that never takes itself to seriously. This is a perfect show to watch after a long day of work to relax and laugh with.

My Teen Romantic Comedy – SNAFU

by Jasmine Greene | Dec 10, 2015 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

There will never be a shortage of the cliche high school romantic comedies, which is what makes My Teen Romantic Comedy stand out even more. It’s an excellent look into the world of the social outcasts of high school with a little humor and, yes, romance peppered in.

Non Non Biyori Review

by Jasmine Greene | Dec 9, 2015 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

Non Non Biyori is slice-of-life at its best. You follow around four girls as they explore the countryside. Not only do you get to appreciate the beauty and stillness of the Japanese country you also learn a lot about edible plants, wildlife and Japanese culture. Non Non Biyori isn’t a prequel to Repeat. Instead both serve as an independent look at the lives of Renge, Natsumi, Komari and Hotaru during the same year.

Haikyu!! Season One Review

by Jasmine Greene | Dec 2, 2015 | Anime, Features, Movies/TV Review | 0 |

Haikyu!! Starts off as a cliche sports anime, but it quickly moves away from the stereotypical “if I try hard enough I’ll win” mindset. There’s quite a lot of humor here and the episodes move at a pretty quick pace. Just when you think things are dragging the show speeds things up and you’re back on the rollercoaster ride. I don’t have any real interest in volleyball, but Haikyu!! does a good job melding the more technical information into the frantic action of the game.
