Anime

The drawn, animated style of Japan (but not necessarily just Japanese anime). I don't watch anywhere near as much of this as I'd like, to be honest...

Black Butler

1 January 2014   28 August 2024 5 minute read

Whilst I certainly have some bias from nostalgia, given that it was the first I ever watched (in High School one very ill-advised night, when I binged the entirety of the first season...), Black Butler remains one of my all-time favourite anime series.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

13 September 2022

A very fitting story for Cyberpunk, Edgerunners follows David as he falls into a group of mercenaries and forms relationships with them, but ultimately ending in a tragedy of lies, secrets, and betrayal. *'I Really Want To Stay At Your House' starts playing...*

Elfen Lied

11 July 2024

A very mature anime with a content-warning list longer than my arm, Elfen Lied tells a story I found rather interesting, with some emotional history behind the characters revealed over time. I really enjoyed this, honestly, even if it does a similar focussing-on-a-melody trope as Black Butler Season 1's 'London Bridge is Falling Down'.

Sword Art Online

1 January 2015

The actual 'Sword Art Online' part was really cool, and it makes sense that this basically created a genre for an entire generation. The Gun-Gale Online and Alfheim Online stuff, though, were a bit... weird. I stopped watching after that.
