Sometimes a change in tone from the previous season to the next one can be a good thing for a series. This depends on the show in question. The writers want to take a different direction on where the plot is going and change the atmosphere. As long as they keep adding new elements to the story that doesn’t detract from what makes it suitable, that can be a welcoming change. Just don’t assume everyone will be 100% on board with it. The 2nd season of Sidonia no Kishi can be classified under this predicament.

Nisekoi: Review

There have been a few sequels to anime that have been shameless filler in recent months. None of them were worth the hype that initially sprouted upon announcement. However, they were story-driven narratives that people took very seriously and wanted to know how the story and world would continue with the following season. One that didn’t fit into this category was the sequel to the popular harem anime from 2014 called Nisekoi. An anime that doesn’t take its story or characters too seriously and has a sequel that is mostly comedic filler is just a continuation from the start.

Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works Review

Treading on the dark abyss can be an enormous task to take. It is a never-ending ride that can only be described in the most torturous terminology. This abyss that I am telling formed around 2006 by the name of Fate Stay Night. Not the visual novel, mind you, but the adaptation of one of the routes contained in it. It is called an abyss because it was hated by almost everybody and their mother with its boring and mind-numbingly boring presentation. All it would take to rationalize the problem is to realize that Type-Moon was lazy with giving its adaptation in the hands of a studio that probably didn’t have the authenticity it needed to showcase the grand scale of the Fate series. It only took Type-Moon nearly ten years to revitalize this by going on a different route with Unlimited Blade Works.

DanMachi Review

With an absurdly long title such as “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?” your first inclination is to think that the show is trying too hard to pander from just the title alone. With Romance, Fantasy, Action, and Comedy spliced in with an element of Harem, your anticipation going into this will probably sink into apathy. But fret not, my dear friends, this anime, shortly titled DanMachi, actually has much more to offer than your prototypical otaku bait anime. If you think a story is essential in anime, that fits this description.

When someone has an affinity towards a medium or something from that medium, they always want to express why they loved it to people around them. This what we call “word of mouth.” We share our interests towards one another in hopes that they will be interested in experiencing it too so that the product of that medium will flourish in the future in terms of economic benefits. However, a few of those people will actually try to make something of that passion and create a job out of it to influence the masses of what movie is good or bad to watch for their own money to spend. This has been a staple for people who go to the movies, read books, watch television, listen to music, and play video games with serious intent in mind. But one question still remains for nearly a decade: does anime have the same amount of importance in critical writing like in these aforementioned mediums?
