Film ● Review: City Hunter
Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

Anime ● Review: Azumanga Daioh
Classic high school slice-of-life comedy. Can use a little more variation even if it is meant to be slice-of-life genre.

Anime Review: The Grimm Variations
Not a bad effort but nothing special. Could have used other fairy tales since there are over 200 to choose from.

Interesting enough premise. Excellent production. Can delve deeper into the themes, but plot and characters are sufficiently captivating.

Like Part 1, decent voice acting and production. More focused storytelling but signposting is a little clumsy. Still mildly enjoyable.

Anime ● Review: Megazone 23 Part I & Part II
Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Anime ● Review: Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall
Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Anime Film ● Review: Maboroshi
Fantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.

Animation Review: Pokémon Concierge
Well-managed storytelling despite somewhat wishy-washy themes. Ultimately, it’s about the wonderful stop-motion animation.

Film ● Review: Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead
Decent adaptation. Good pacing and production. Enjoyable but lacks the absurdity of the anime. (Even the anime can be more absurd.)

Anime ● Review: Gamera Rebirth
Short and tight series. A little unfocused at first, somewhat children-orientated but also too dark for it to be. Still, mostly satisfying.

Anime ● Review: Godzilla Singular Point
Original take. Basically a sci-fi mystery, which is fine in itself except it drags. Serious lack of Godzilla action. Wasted opportunity.

Anime Films ● Review: Godzilla Trilogy
A somewhat ambitious take in terms of scale and its attempt to be original and true to the franchise. Can be tighter but not bad.

Anime Films ● Review: To Me, the One Who Loved You & To Every You I’ve Loved Before
Love story with parallel universes told in two films. Good production. Pacing is mostly good but a little clumsy at times. Worth viewing.
