Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans Ep 26 Review
(I’m not sure how long I can keep up with these single-episode posts, but as long as I feel inspired I might as well write, right?) There were quite a few interesting things established due to this time skip. Seeing the newer recruits (who came in during relative peace times) contrasting with the already existing members…

Berserk (2016) Episode 3 Review
I gave it a chance… and then THIS happened. Well… what can I say? This has been… quite the experience. I kind of forgot what happened around this point in the story and rumor has it that Miura himself wrote this episode. So putting that into consideration, the writing itself felt fine from a short-term…

The manga is my favorite, and a huge reason why is how well the atmosphere supported the dark events in the story. Largely, part of this atmosphere was the detailed…

Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, Episodes 1-5 Review
This is a light jotting down of thoughts. A formal review may or may not come later. Remember that I am only 5 episodes in, and there’s 20 more to go! Development is inevitable. Story It’s not too special, but it’s also not boring. As long as it holds up and makes sense, the series should…
