Well I didn’t expect this to be the next Gundam review that found its way on this blog, but that’s the past two years of my life for you… The Witch From Mercury is the latest Gundam series (that actually debuted back in the autumn and I’m only now getting round to reviewing it, but that’s the last two years for you… again!) and features several departures from the norm, but for the most part these changes have worked really well. Plus the actual animation is top notch! Let’s take a look at the first Season before the second starts already!

My Hero Academia – Paranormal Liberation Arc (Episodes 114 – 131) Review
The “Paranormal Liberation Arc” (which must sound so weird to those who don’t follow the series…) is where the you-know-what really hits the fan and sets the series on course for its grand finale. You know the heroes journey, things must get really bad in order for their re-rise to be entertaining to follow, and it’s safe to say that at the end of this arc the Japanese super hero community is due for quite the re-rise… Let’s take a look!
Continue readingOne Piece – Wano Arc (Episodes 1012 – 1044) Review
It’s time for another chunk of Wano Arc and once again these 32 episodes move the plot along about the same as four or five episodes of a regular show, but that’s One Piece for you! If you’re not used to it by now you never will be… Let’s take a look!
Continue readingBleach: Thousand Year Blood War Arc (Episodes 1 – 13) Review
While it already feels like I’ve reviewed this 100 times due to covering it on Anime UK News for various articles, it’s time to actually take a deeper dive into the first chunk of the anime adaptation of Bleach’s final story arc (for now!): The Thousand Year Blood War. I’ve gone on record as saying the actual manga version of the story is … not great, but given the crazy animation quality plus the amazing returning voice cast and music composer this was a great weekly watch. Let’s take a look!
Continue readingDragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (Episodes 85 – 100) Review
At long last, after well over a hundred weeks, Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai has finally come to an end. It’s been a … ride, maybe not a wild one, but definitely one! While this finale is fun and exciting with a great and extremely Shonen-y final battle I have to say that its not worth watching the other 90 odd episodes full of the same plot being slowly stretched thin until it snaps several times. Still, now I’ve stuck with it for pretty much the sole reason of writing about it on this blog, let’s write about it on this blog!
Continue readingBleach: Lost Agent Arc (Episodes 355 – 366) Review
It’s time to look at what a year or so ago would’ve been the “final episodes of the Bleach anime” but is now the final episodes of the first Bleach series before the currently airing Thousand Year Blood War series. As I mentioned in the first half I do enjoy the sometimes-called Fullbringer arc and honestly the final few episodes really outdo themselves, clearly showing that due to having a finite end they removed all filler and just straight up adapted the manga, and in terms of the final fight, really beautifully (though it pales in comparison to, once again, the currently airing TYBW anime…) So let’s take a look then!
Continue readingSamurai 7 Anime UK News Review
Another one of those sadly-becoming-rarer Anime UK News reviews! This time its the early 2000s weird steampunk version of Seven Samurai created by Gonzo. You can read the review by clicking HERE. Fun but ultimately I can’t see it being very memorable.
Bleach: Lost Agent Arc (Episodes 343 to 354) Review
The Lost Agent arc is a controversial one as it strips the show back down to its original premise: it’s all set in Karakura Town, there’s lot of Ichigo’s school life on display and the plot comes slow and steady. This upset a lot of people, both when the manga chapters came out and the anime episodes, especially those who loved the series because of the Shinigami cast. I personally find it a fun “break” between two much longer and action-heavy arcs, so I don’t mind. Want to know more? Let’s take a look at the first half!
Continue readingDragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (Episodes 68 – 84) Review
At long last I can say the end is actually in sight as it has now been confirmed that Adventure of Dai will end with Episode 100, so all the setting up for the final battle this chunk of episodes do is going to pay off! Hooray! No more stalling! That being said this chunk of episodes also shows a sudden new trend of undoing previous hard work for the sake of pleasing fans, which… well, is a bit crap really. Let’s tale a look then!
