If you're a fan of slice of life stories with realistic characters Hirayasumi is perfect for you. The characters are full of love and anxiety and I haven't been so satisfied with a manga in a long time. There's a live action adaptation airing now and an anime coming next year!!!!

Gundam ZZ was a dramatic shift in tone while regurgitating plot lines from Zeta which regurgitated plot lines from OG Gundam. At this point the franchise appears to be flailing for originality.

Zeta Gundam was quite the rollercoaster ride and introduced a few character concepts that would continue in other Gundam stories...while rehashing the ones from MS Gundam.

Todays episode of Anime Plus dives into the first Zeta Gundam compilation movie, Heir to the Stars. But does this truncated presentation of one of the best Gundam series' leave enough room for the actually story?

How does one remove unsightly stains from a mobile suit after a heated battle? David and Steve debate the practice in this outtake from the next episode of Anime Plus.

It seemed crazy that Witch Watch got a 2nd cour, let alone another season at some point. After watching all 25 episodes we have so far I can say I am excited for more stupidity with these lovable supernatural weirdos! This show was more fun that expected.
