By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246 Salaryman’s Club only has two episodes out in comparison to other Winter 2022 anime, but it’s filling that sports anime hole in my heart pretty well and is a contender for my favorite this season. The anime follows Mikoto, a prodigy badminton player who only plays singles. After being fired from Mitsuhoshi Bank’s top-ranked badminton team, he becomes a salaryman … Continue reading Salaryman’s Club (Review)

By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246 My Dress-Up Darling has a lot of things going for it. What has drawn me to the series is its message of respecting people’s hobbies, its depiction of the work and dedication involved in cosplaying, and the sweet burgeoning romance between Wakana and Marin. It’s also undoubtedly fanservice-y, with close-ups that linger on Marin’s exposed body–sometimes it’s minimal, but other … Continue reading My Dress-Up Darling (Review)

Continue reading “The Dark Side of Love in Junji Ito’s Lovesickness (Analysis)”By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246 PPPPPP is a manga about a family of geniuses with piano superpowers, and it’s everything I expected something with that premise to be, yet underwhelming in ways that I’ll do my best to describe. I feel like it’s the kind of work you’d read if you want to read a mashup of The Umbrella Academy and Scott Pilgrim vs. the … Continue reading PPPPPP – Why I Keep Reading a Music Manga That I Can’t Fully Recommend (Review/Analysis)
By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246 Haunted houses are a staple in horror, and have a rich history of terrifying us as places that blur the boundaries between the living and the dead, hell and heaven, and reality and delusion. What I love about haunted houses are the ways in which they prey emotionally and psychically on their inhabitants, and the parasitic relationships that emerge in … Continue reading The House – Parasitic Horror in Three Parts (Review)
By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246 When ODDTAXI began airing in April last year, I’ll admit that I wrote it off as a copy of Aggretsuko. If I wanted to watch anthropomorphic animals in a realistic setting, I would just watch that or Beastars, but–by some happenstance–I began watching it one day despite all the other anime on my list that seemed to have a more … Continue reading Why ODDTAXI’s Episode 4 is a Masterpiece (Analysis)

By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246 Belle won me over for the first hour with its gorgeous visuals, nuanced take on the power of the internet, and soundtrack. At least, that was until I saw the turn it was taking in the latter half and thought, Please no, don’t do this. It’s hard to reconcile my overwhelmingly positive feelings for the first half with the dismay I … Continue reading Belle – Please Erase the Last Half of This Movie From My Mind (Review)
