Sheex

Hey there, I'm one of the OLD (I'm in my 30s now, I get to emphasize) reviewers for AP, back when we were staff-written. I still check in from time to time, and recently started throwing reviews up on occasion as I slowly work my way through an 8 year backlog of series.

For those wondering, my Shigurui review is perhaps my most infamous and controversial review I posted to the site. Looking back, my opinion of the show stands but it's an absolutely terrible review. I leave it up for posterity's sake -- my reviews on AP are like a timeline back to my teenage years. But don't stop there -- feel free to go sift through my old work if you like and leave me a comment! I actually have several unposted reviews that I wrote many years ago that I'm considering polishing and eventually posting one day. For now, I'm just cataloging all my "new" stuff below:

NEW REVIEWS SINCE MY RETURN:

GATE - 6/8/20 - Definitely don't have mainstream thoughts on this one, but I'm known for "unique" reviews from time to time (Does anyone remember my 2009 April Fools KonoMini review? LOL)

Beyond the Boundary Movies - 6/7/20 - Did they go Beyond the Mediocrity? Well, about that...

Parasyte - 1/30/20 - Very nice horror/drama. Not as gripping as Shiki, but still quite solid.

Deadman Wonderland - 1/20/20 - Get rekt, Fate/Stay Night has been upheaved as awful shounen champion.

Shiki - 1/16/20 - Blew me away. Spectacular dark drama without cucked vampires.

Mahou Tsukai no Yome - 1/13/20 - A disappointing attempt at a mishmash of genres that was too timid to ever go "dark."

Orange - 8/18/19 - What AnoHana should have been if it didn't suck, but still "okay."

Your Lie in April - 8/6/19 - Another top tier series. Elegant, beautiful, and definitely should be on your list.

AnoHana - 8/4/19 - So very disappointing...

Wotakoi - 7/30/19 - What an absolutely fantastic slice-of-life comedy/romance.

Violet Evergarden - 7/28/19 - Aesthetically absolutely gorgeous, but riddled with holes.

Grimgar ~Of Mediocrity and Meh~ - 7/27/19 - Average and bland with enormous unused potential.

Just Because - 7/21/19 - Bam, four! With a fifth to follow soon (this next one not so nice.)

Our Love is Only 10 Centimeters Apart - 7/19/2019 - On a role here, knocking out another romance anime. Check it out!

Golden Time - 4/22/2019 - And another? What is happening?

Youjo Senki - 2/24/2019 - What on earth, a new review after like 7 years?!?!
