"On the back of 100 years of worldbuilding and constant back-and-forths in Vivy's development across time, the sheer content that Vivy managed to stuff into 13 episodes should have been mindblowing, but it never felt rushed or imbalanced in developments. It feels like Vivy achieved the golden standard for pacing an action show."
"It's equal parts eloquently meaningful somehow punkishly pissed off political critique, and still adrenaline pumping thriller action. And it excels at both."
"It's in the carefully handled tone where Fragtime finds its success"
"Were this another anime, they might call his deterministic attitude and rigidity to his opinions a good thing, but anybody in the real world knows these aren't typically good character traits, and Revisions refuses to let him off the hook for it."
With the new season, I try and find the motivation to get excited for a lacklustre lineup. And Bakarina.
With the season kicking off, how does each show stack up?
"It's an odd sort of fun, watching Caiman and Nikaido two hang-out, bicker and slaughter malevolent magicians"
"Mobile Suit Gundam is a truly excellent anime in it opening stages, taking a modicum of time and extrapolating it into something grand."
"Little did I know that this short series would have such a potent backbone, but it's deeply personal"
"Because of this constant tension, a push-and-pull of questions and answers, ID:Invaded is fantastically compelling"
