A Silent Voice GN 6

May 28, 11:51

manga

A Silent Voice’s sixth volume is a structurally self-conscious expression of its greatest strength, the generous insights it provides into all of its characters’ secret lives. ― It's always an interesting experience when a new volume of A Silent Voice comes out. On the one hand, I immediately want to rush through it - the story is a masterpiece, after all. It has an intimacy of characterization that'...

What Makes Magical Girls So Popular?

May 27, 12:00

55 comments

anime

They're an anime staple, embraced by audiences of all ages and types, and are frequently described as "empowering" - but what is it exactly that makes magical girls connect with so many people? ― Sailor Moon just got remade, Madoka Magica was the biggest anime hit of the past five years, and US-made cartoons are getting more mahou shoujo-tastic by the day. I think it's fair to call magical girls, you...

industry

An enormous portion of Hulu's anime catalog disappears suddenly on June 1; Justin unpacks why that's happening and what it means for the industry. ― Michael asks: I noticed quite a few anime titles on Hulu expiring in the coming days. From what I can tell, it's more than usual. Do you think this is a sign of Hulu losing interest in anime as a whole and only want to focus on their American television...

manga

Drawn & Quarterly has curated previously unpublished stories from Shigeru Mizuki's Kitaro manga for its original audience: kids. It's largely successful in this thrillingly gross and creepy volume. ― Before Natsume had his Book of Friends or Nate put on his Yokai Watch, there was Kitaro. Shigeru Mizuki's tales of the yokai boy have been popular since their publication in 1960, and technically even be...

The Heiress and the Chauffeur GN 1

May 26, 09:35

6 comments

manga

This cute Taisho-set romance blends historical social expectations with a sweet romance devoid of creepy shoujo tropes. ― Despite a title that sounds like a Barbara Cartland novel, The Heiress and the Chauffeur's first volume is a cute Taisho-set tale of fairly basic shoujo proportions. The story follows seventeen-year-old Sayaka Yoshimura and her slightly older chauffeur, Shinobu Narutaki, as they n...

manga

UQ Holder seems to be establishing a solid rhythm in its fifth volume, and finally coming into its own as reliable entertainment. ― It's been a rough ride, but it seems like UQ Holder is finally developing some consistency. With Fate having just barely fallen into Kirie's trap at the end of volume four, this volume opens with a climactic chapter of Fate and Evangeline throwing everything they have at...
