 wrote a review of Bocchi the Rock!
Score 9/10 Bocchi the Rock , like its titular character, hides itself in a box, but is able to play something virtuosic and beautiful from within that box. Slice of life comedies have been a staple of anime for almost two decades now, and finding room for innovation is becoming increasingly difficult. In... Read Qplayer's full review

wrote a review of Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the CountrysideScore 5/10 Banished from the Hero’s Party is an interesting idea trapped within a generic framework. It’s a pop song that features a virtuosic guitar solo for about 15 seconds before returning to a bland, uninspired verse followed by a forgettable chorus. While the anime does feature some...
