It’s nice to have Gargantia back, though the return isn’t a matter of too much consequence. I like Suisei no Gargantia – quite a lot actually – though it’s hard for me not to look back on the series with a sense of disappointment. The air of what might have […] Read more

There’s never been a day in my life that couldn’t be made better with the addition of a little Ika Musume. I won’t lie – I’m biased when it comes to this series. I have a very special place in my heart for Shinryaku Ika Musume, though it does me […] Read more
