  • One of The Best Shoujo Animes of the 2000s – ToraDora!

    One of The Best Shoujo Animes of the 2000s – ToraDora!

    Even though the reason behind my revisit of the anime, ToraDora!, still remains unknown, it’s definitely safe to say that this anime is timeless, beautiful, and will forever remain as a truly pure example of how moving and immersive shoujo animes were in the 2000s. ToraDora is a legendary anime series that is grossly underrated, and…

    Library Wars: Action Romance at its Finest!

    It’s not often where you find a series so good, that you’re willing to sit through the anime, the manga and the live action film for it. Yet, Library Wars seems to convince its fans to do so, almost too effortlessly.

    For the clichรฉ lovers – Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Dokomademo

    Greetings everybody! It has officially been a little over two years since I have posted on this site. Many things have unfolded since then, and I swear that I am telling you the truth when I confess that I have tried multiple times to conjure up some sort of review for this site. However, sometimes…

  • A Sensual and Intimate Summer Romance: Call Me By Your Name

    A Sensual and Intimate Summer Romance: Call Me By Your Name

    Indie films were never really my cup of tea, but Call Me By Your Name โ€”directed by Luca Guadagnino โ€” might serve as the catalyst that changes all of that. Iโ€™d desperately like to refrain from labelling this film, and inadvertently limiting it, by categorising it as ‘a great queer film’ because itโ€™s truly more…

    Winston Churchill: A Light in โ€˜The Darkest Hourโ€™

    Award-winning director Joe Wright is back with another masterpiece. Much like his previous works, such as Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007), Darkest Hour functions as an absolutely brilliant film which ought to be seen and enjoyed for years to come. The film showcases the first five weeks of Winston Churchill’s appointment as British…

    Thor: Ragnarok Film Review

    Forget the first two Thor instalments because Thor: Ragnarok just blew them out of the water. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been slightly tense lately, as the MCU frantically tries to make ends meet before Infinity War begins in 2019. With so many loose ends and the tension left from Captain America: Civil War, comedy…

    Boku No Hero Academia ๅƒ•ใฎใƒ’ใƒผใƒญใƒผใ‚ขใ‚ซใƒ‡ใƒŸใ‚ข Season 1 [Anime Review]

    It has been way too long. You have no idea how many reviews I have planned to write however, none of them have been successfully published. I had initially planned to write an incredibly detailed post as to how my anime hiatus came to an end but I realized that if I worried too much…

    I spent my Friday night ‘putting a black kid through school’ and Chris Rock thanked me for it. What did you do over the weekend?

    Itazura Na Kiss [The Movie] Review

    Hello. It’s been quite a few months since I’ve reviewed anything on this site. I’m not going to make any promises but I am thinking of writing a review for the new Logan film as well as an animated filmย which was recently retitled asย Leap, that I quite enjoyed. Obviously it was crucial and expected that…

    La La Land – Film Review

    I’m not one to pay attention to the Golden Globes however it was absolutely impossible to stay ignorant about the explosion that the film La La Land seemed to have caused towards the end of 2016. Even for someone, who has ‘A Rock’ sprawled as my home address, to hear of such ludicrousy just automatically…
