Howl's Moving Castle

Jul 30, 2018

First I would like to state that I would state that I read the novel this was based on before I saw the movie, which is the main reason why I'm not a big fan of this. Howl's Moving Castle is not the best Studio Ghibli film, but it's not the worst. The main reason I find this movie terrible is because they added in the war. I understand that Hayao Miyazaki did not agree with the US invasion of Iraq (which is the reason they were included) but I think it could have been done much better. The movie was announced in 2001 which means they would have had to add these in towards the last minute (the invasion... See full review

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Tokyo Mew Mew

Jul 30, 2018

I first heard about Tokyo Mew Mew on Miiverse. A lot of people said "Oh, that was my first anime!" and "Oh, I loved that when I was nine!" So, being the huge magical girl fan I am, I decided to borrow the manga from my library and watch the anime. This was my first least-favorite anime/manga. The characters are boring (one is even named Lettuce. I like salad but it's still weird), the premise is cliche, and there is filler-SO MUCH FILLER. I stopped watching at episode twelve. The only redeeming qualities are the music and animation. The animation is really mediocre, but it was common... See full review
