Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 8

The strong shall survive, while the weak shall die. One of nature's law for evolution. This, in itself, is not entirely wrong. Death has, and will always be, part of the cycle of life. Needless to say, everyone of us will experience this plane of existence at a later age. Then does the prospect of death make …

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 7

Our heroes can finally breath a sigh of relief as they reach their checkpoint. As luck would have it, they just made it in time for Tanabata! We've seen the lighter side of the crew in this episode as they take on mundane problems such as bargaining for a squash, kicking some rowdy bushi's ass …

Flying Witch – Episode 7

Flying Witch makes me want to take a paid leave, then set off with my cat on a Sunday morning stroll. If only I can hold an actual conversation with my cat, this idea would be perfect. This week's installment is equal parts relaxing and cute. We've gotten no less than what we come to …

Koe no Katachi: Afterthoughts

I'm not a proactive manga reader. I usually pick one up because waiting for a new season of an anime adaptation feels too long and excruciating specially when it ends in a cliffhanger -- or, as it is with most of the shows these days, when it won't be getting any new season at all …

Flying Witch – Episode 5

That's probably one of the most down to earth slice of life episode I've seen. Technically, nothing really substantial happened here, but to those who pays close attention to what's happening, you'll be rewarded with something more of what you're expecting. First half of the episode was spent with Chito and Chinatsu just running around the …

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 4

We've seen what a kabaneri can do in the past episodes and one can agree that they are the superior, stronger beings -- albeit they have their own Achilles heel. Given this, a full house of kabaneri can't survive in this harsh world even if they seem to be unbeatable. They have to -- or …

Flying Witch – Episode 4

Have you ever been in a situation wherein you're listening to a joke, and you guessed how the punchline will end up but the way it was executed made the laugh even more satisfying? Flying Witch sure did crack me silly this episode. It's been a while since I giggled at something genuinely, and watching …

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress – Episode 3

After a week's delay we're finally getting the much awaited 3rd episode. It certainly didn't disappoint - in fact, I'd honestly say this is perhaps one of the series' best so far. Our cast is basically taking a breather and sorting things out each to their own, but whether or not they're in the battlefield, the decisions …

Flying Witch – Episode 3

I find this show a bit more enjoyable than normal due to the fact that I'm a country bumpkin myself. I've pretty much spent my whole adolescent-teenage years in our small rural province, yet I never got the time to till the soil off our backyard, much less pulling weeds. Hmm, maybe I did try …

Flying Witch – Episode 2

I looked forward to this episode and it surely did its job well in keeping my mind off from stress after a long day's work. Flying Witch's second episode is as comfy and relaxing as you can get. Add a sprinkle of humor, and you should be good for the day. I'd associate this show to …
