The Exquisite, Oh-so-extra Melodrama of Riverdale
Riverdale is the sort of delicious trash that mimics masterpieces by draping its awful dialogue in red velvet and beautiful people. God, it’s fucking wonderful.
The Testament of Sister New Devil
As my wife puts it, “This is every bad, neckbeard cliché about anime come true.”
Gate – Season 1 and 2
Gate is an incredibly jarring anime experience.
KanColle: Kantai Collection
Once you get past the undeniably unique conceit of KanColle, there’s not much to recommend it.
Code Geass: A Pessimistic Take on Revolutionary Heroism
I thought Code Geass was a tale of resistance, rebellion and ultimately revolution. A heroic tale where the noble Japanese prevail against the evil Britannian Empire.
That’s not quite the story it’s telling.
Steven Universe – Season 3
At its best, Steven Universe Season 3 is funny, entertaining and legitimately poignant.
Sailor Moon S
Sailor Moon S is my favourite season of the show thus far, in large part because it’s easily the queerest season yet (and that’s saying something).
Food Wars! – Season 1
Food Wars! offers up a substantial serve of shonen anime tropes, complemented by a generous side dish of food porn. Think Dragonball Z meets Iron Chef. It’s fresh and fulfilling like a hearty Sunday roast.
The Kettering Incident – Season 1
It’s hard not to admire the craft behind The Kettering Incident. The show is testament to the depth of talent in Australia’s television industry … except when it comes to screenwriting.
School-Live! – Season 1
An unconventional genre mashup that proves surprisingly affecting.
