Casual Review of One Punch Man

Heck, its first season has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes at this very moment. That’s ridiculous. So inevitably, a friend of […]

Rohil Reviews 2000s Anime: Paranoia Agent
Paranoia Agent is Studio Madhouse’s 2004 psychological thriller and character drama helmed by revolutionary anime director Satoshi Kon.

Eizouken: The Joy of Creation
Contains spoilers for Episode 1 of Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! This is perhaps one of the best viewing experiences I’ve ever had in the first episode of an anime. The episode left me with a smile on my face the entire time because it hit me hard in the nostalgia spots. Why? […]
