3.7 Stars The strongest aspect of Summer Rendering is its building and retaining of suspence. I found myself wanting to see what happened next after most of the cliffhanger episodes, even when the supernatural elements started to become stale and demystified half way through the show. I can't say I find the lore and conclusion of the show very satisfying or intersting after everything is laid out...

3.1 Stars A 12 episode anime with no main overaching conflict or struggle and lots of joke recycling. Some of the reoccurring gags retain some replay value for a time, but by the 8th episode I was thinking of calling it quits cause I felt I has gotten the gist of the show, which focuses on a diving club, even though the time they spend diving makes up a small portion of the syory. They mainly drink,...

Megaman + James Bond + Cowboy Bebop = Space Cobra The golden age of Anime is usually considered late 80's and early 90's. This was just before that. I put it in the category of good shows to watch while simultaneously watching something heavy. For example, when you are binging a sequential gritty drama like "Breaking Bad" / "Game of Thrones" / "House of Cards" / "Peaky Blinders" / etc. this is a...
I am a bit of a spaz when it comes to spoilers so I'll just look at other people's review titles and star rating before putting it on a To Watch list. Should have read Mondo's explanation that it's not Mecha. It's very heavy in dialogue and almost entirely about a police investigation and bureaucracy. Some philosophy and even some slice of life moments. I'm not even into Mecha but expectations are...
Hadn't watched this since it first came out. It still stands up to this day. Love the music in the intro/outro. It gets a bit dull in the middle episodes but redeems itself with an amazing conclusion. Love the characters and anti-hero elements. Ryuk has one of the best character designs in any anime ever. I'm getting my gf into anime and I'd highly recommend this one for beginners. There's a lot of...
