Gunbuster

Dec 25, 2017

I should begin by mentioning that going into Gunbuster, i generally am not a fan of mecha or large scale space warfare (e.g. the mecha part of Gargantia and space warfare of Legend of the Galactic heroes were not particularly intetesting to me.) However i do love FLCL every single time i see it, and thus i went into Gunbuster with a lot of goodwill due to the Gainax label.

Ping Pong The Animation

Apr 17, 2016

Ping Pong is a series that i think a lot of people dimiss after a couple of episodes, or worse, after seeing a couple of screenshots and deciding it is not for them. While the artstyle and theme may not look particularly appealing to some (i must admit to also shunning the idea of watching a series about ping pong), after the series actually gets going around episode 2-3 it is just an incredible watch. The character development is nothing but spectacular, and the audio quality, particularly the voice acting, is a real treat to listen to. While the artstyle might alienate a lot of viewers, after having... See full review
