Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul (2017)

A great watch

[10/10 · 1 October 2018]

With its mature emotions, consistent story line, stunning visuals, captivating reactions and realistic choreography, it has been an absolute treat to watch. Hope more people discover this show. I know I'll be re-watching this series many more times in the future.

Bleach (2018)

This gave me flashbacks

[10/10 · 22 September 2018]

Any animated feature would be difficult to translate to real people, even more so while converting a long running series to a time limited movie. And that is exactly why this movie blew my mind. Character casting was really good to the point that it gave me flashbacks at points. The story stuck together, character portrayal for most of the roles was really good and the training wasn't half-assed, even some important conversations from the original anime were retained. This made me re-watch the anime again. Really hope it gets a sequel. Worth it!

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

An underappreciated (by some) beauty

[10/10 · 17 December 2017]

Thank you for this film. It really tries to stay true to its original elements and the visuals don't disappoint. Some take the nitpicking, whitewashing, feminism etc too far, none of which are the intention of this film. The makers of this feature film must have had been fans of the original series so as not to ruin it. If good anime are to have live action movies, then I say this is the bar, the benchmark.

And I would absolutely love a sequel!
