Neuro: Supernatural Detective

May 28, 2022

NOTE: I have previously made a review for this series 10 years ago, but it was pretty poorly written and recently I have started reading the manga so I have decided to do a complete review redux. There are also some minor spoilers ahead.

Demon Detective Neuro is the first series by Yusei Matsui, an author who later came to prominence with his smash hit comedy series Assassination Classroom. In comparison, Neuro, which is definitely darker in tone seems relatively forgotten. The anime never received an English dub and the manga was never officially released in English, though it was licensed in other... See full review

Soul Eater

Mar 1, 2015

OK, after giving 3 reviews to mediocre shounen series, I decided to review some really good shounen anime so you could see what does a good shounen look like. Soul Eater is the very first anime where I watched all the episodes in order, so I thought it would be perfect to review, since it's practically the series that got me into anime.

The animation and sounds are both great. The unique and less realistic art style and animation make this anime stand out at the first sight. It also gets an award for the creepiest moon and the sun design I've ever seen.
The first opening is easily one of the... See full review

Blue Exorcist

Mar 1, 2015

NOTE: I have previously made a review for this series 10 years ago, but it was pretty poorly written so I decided to rewrite it completely. Blue Exorcist is a perfect example of a series which was supposed to be the next big thing but killed its own hype due to many factors such as long hiatuses and sloppy execution so most people have just lost interest and moved on to the next hyped up thing. The premise of the series might seem generic, taking elements from other shounen titles such as Soul Eater, D. Gray-Man or Fullmetal Alchemist, which would be fine if it was well executed, the problem is... See full review

Future Diary

Mar 1, 2015

NOTE: I have previously made a review for this series 10 years ago, but it was pretty crap so I decided to rewrite it completely. There are also some light spoilers ahead.

Ah, Mirai Nikki, once extremely popular series which is now remembered only for the ultimate yandere girl Yuno Gasai and for being a massive trainwreck full of plotholes and inconsistencies, the ultimate “Turn off your brain” show. Does it hold up at all over 10 years later?

The presentation is not much to write home about, the anime was done by studio Asread who have never produced anything of note so... See full review
