Recommended Watch: Wholesome Direct – Indie Game Showcase 6.12.2021

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow Video games can be stressful, especially when you’re looking for a more casual experience. In a sea of First-Person Shooters and games catering more towards competitive PVP, it feels like your options are far and few between. Of course there’s the popular suggestions of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing—and they are wonderful games—but what if you want something different? Well, … Continue reading Recommended Watch: Wholesome Direct – Indie Game Showcase 6.12.2021

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon “It’s not a good sequel, it’s a nostalgia sale.”

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ I know we’ve titled this with a controversial statement, but please wait and hold your judgment for the end. Here at The Anime View, during this long hiatus that has recently been brought to a close by my impatience (while we film and re-film everything a few hundred times for Jenna) we’ve been holding debates. One that we had … Continue reading Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon “It’s not a good sequel, it’s a nostalgia sale.”

Brother, Brother! – Review: BLOOD OF ZEUS

By: Jenna Morgan | @jkmorgan-media I ended up loving this show, even though it honestly took a few episodes to really get me. Hera was my favorite character almost all the way to the end. I mean, who doesn’t like a powerful woman, right?  Seriously: DON’T MESS WITH A POWERFUL WOMAN WHO’S BEEN SCORN FOR DECADES BY HER HUSBAND! Not even by accident or indirectly. … Continue reading Brother, Brother! – Review: BLOOD OF ZEUS

Good or Bad? An Adaptation Review and Analysis of “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” Episode 1 (SPOILERS)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ Whenever I think about adaptations, I always try to remember that the anime and manga are different works. I try to enjoy them as you might enjoy two different books with similar premises, but that doesn’t mean I don’t compare them, and this series is pretty hard not to compare to its comic-counterpart. Suppose a Kid from the Last … Continue reading Good or Bad? An Adaptation Review and Analysis of “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” Episode 1 (SPOILERS)

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SKATE-LEADING☆STARS (Spoilers)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial​ I have said it before, and I will say it many more times–of that I am sure. I used to be a competitive figure skater.

Everyone Should Watch the Terrible Wonder that is Hero Return

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial I think I might love this anime more than anything else that’s come out this season so far—yes, even more than the Inuyasha sequel, Yashahime or Noblesse, the long awaited adaptation to a webcomic I obsessed over when it was still being published.  How can I say that I love it when, in the title of this very post, I called … Continue reading Everyone Should Watch the Terrible Wonder that is Hero Return
