This was quite a ride. I was not expecting something much from Flowers of Evil (Aku no Hana,) but the results were fascinating.

Sing “Yesterday” For Me
Sing "Yesterday" For Me is a drama (seinen) that surprised me. I rarely appreciate a drama about unrequited love. Most of the time it feels forced, and that is why I don't enjoy the genre. However, Sing "Yesterday" For Me felt different. It is refreshing to see an anime that takes itself serious, without recurring to… Continue reading Sing “Yesterday” For Me
Please Tell Me! Galko-chan
Please Tell Me! Galko-chan doesn't follow a plot per se. It has a few characters, each filling a stereotype that the protagonist breaks; Galko being the girl that despite her looks, she's kind of a mixture of her other two friends. Otako, is the... otaku, because that was not obvious enough. And Ojou, who's the… Continue reading Please Tell Me! Galko-chan
Wakakozake
This anime is very short. It makes me wonder if I should consider it an anime at all; each episode is two-minutes long. Perhaps it could be considered an advertisement? I'd love to try all of their food just by looking at it. There's not much to explore. We have to admit that Japanese cuisine… Continue reading Wakakozake
Hanebado!
This is one of the animes I've enjoyed more during this quarantine. I wish I had had more time to enjoy it in two or three days; but it took me more than a week to watch the 13 episodes. By the way, you can watch Hanebado! legally on Crunchyroll by clicking here! HANEBADO! tells the story of… Continue reading Hanebado!
The Worst Jojo
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was, for me, the anime/manga that really got me into anime. As many of you, I was introduced to the Japanese animation with Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2, and years later, Death Note. Although, my love for Death Note was incredible; before that, I thought all the Japanese anime and manga was about a… Continue reading The Worst Jojo
The Name’s Boogiepop
Boogiepop and the Others is a difficult thing to describe. First things first, I need to warn you: the anime is slow. And when I say slow, I really mean it. Its opening might give you the wrong idea of the show, so I advice you to just enjoy the music, but don't judge it… Continue reading The Name’s Boogiepop
Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll
After watching the anime Violet Evergarden, I was excited when I saw on Facebook that Konnichiwa Festival brought the movie to Latin American theaters. Of course, as I live just across the border from Juarez, I didn't give a second thought, got my ticket and went to Cinépolis (the biggest and most popular theater in… Continue reading Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll
