Argento Soma is one of Evangelion clones from the early 2000s which deserve a lot more attention. While the plot leaves viewers to tie up all the loose ends on their own, some of the characters make it worth watching (Sue Hawkins for example). The background score and the songs are also quite well-wrought. ItContinue reading “Argento Soma(2000): Loss, Projection and Tragedy”

This season starts off with a couple of filler-ish episodes but soon picks in quality toward the second quarter. It depicts Momonga’s transformation from the Lord of Nazarick to the Sorcerer-King who is hell-bent on world domination. It appears that the extermination of the Eight Hands organisation was not driven by an desire to impartContinue reading “Overlord 3(Winter 2018): Into the Abyss”

Picking up where we left off with the mysterious mind-control over Shalltear, Overlord’s second season is definitely an improvement over the first season. While Momonga’s aimlessness is still a damper, I’d say that this season is pretty much the best season of an isekai I’ve watched.

A salaryman by day Momonga finds his fulfilment in his role as the guild master for the darkContinue reading “Overlord (2015) : Extended Review”

One of the hardest things to do in a story with a large cast is to be able to do justice to each of the characters, something which mangaka Kitoh managed to do quite well in Bokurano. When a group of 15 children come up on the opportunity to pilot a giant robot against alienContinue reading “Ours(2007): Bokurano”

Directed by Keitaro Motonaga , Jormungand depicts the rather action packed-life of Jonah Mar an African child-soldier working as a bodyguard for the young arms dealer Kokko Hekmatyar. While the reference to the infamous warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is appreciable, I would argue that Anime Motivation’s analysis of the series as realistic, is way off theContinue reading “Jormungand(2012):The Tale of a Shotocon Arms Dealer”
