"Murmurs began to fill the theatre as we realised that the movie was ending just as it began; overheard were the more enlightened readers of the original visual novel speaking up, explaining what just happened; it became abundantly clear that the only thing that the movie had achieved in its bloated two hours was utter confusion, and a hefty amount of boredom."
With most anime at their midpoint, I take a look at how each is stacking up (and try not to gush too hard!)
"Being an all-style action show could have been a way to shift Fairy Gone’s rather bleak storytelling component to the background, but unfortunately there’s another issue here: it’s a weak production"
"A perfectly serviceable cute-girls cast that just aren’t developed is, sadly, Endro’s shtick"
"Mo Dao Zu Shi is not just a phenomenally well written piece, but is also a phenomenally directed piece of work"
"We’re definitely not in unique territory here, folks."
A beautifully told story of motherhood and finding the strength to love
