"Now and Then, Here and There makes you feel hopeless. Its existential treatment of terror leaves a hole in the stomach that cannot be filled, one that cannot be moved, one that can only be accepted. It feels nigh impossible to carry on, and giving up is the only option left. You feel you must accept this darkness. There is no fighting it, no possible move you can make to escape. But you must."
"Kimi ni Todoke makes its whole raison d'etre putting a bit more depth into every aspect of the banal anime rom-com genre tropes"
"Not only is Hachiman frustratingly relatable and downright hilarious, but his problem solving-style is... fascinating"
"Kuutei Dragons is consistently stunning"
"Ristarte makes every scene hilarious through a particularly impassioned voice acting performance from Aki Toyosaki, and some creative and cartoony facial expressions"
