Fairy Tales in Anime and Manga

From Snow White with the Red Hair to Flip Flappers, anime and manga are no stranger to classic fairy tales, but their reinterpretations can be very strange, as Rebecca Silverman explains...

anime
Kyoto Animation's highly anticipated, lavishly-animated and epic-length adaptation of the smash hit manga A Silent Voice recently played the Scotland Loves Anime festival - and Kevin Cirugeda was there to see it!
― It's only appropriate that after announcing the plans for an anime adaptation – quickly detailed as a film – this project went silent for about a year. The idea of a beloved award-winning ...

manga
Tired of the guys getting all the monster girls? Here's a story about an unwitting female office worker who invites a dragon girl into her home!

games
The latest DLC for Dark Souls III sends Dave Riley to the Painted World of Ariandel, where he can't shake the feeling that he should be having a lot more fun with all this.
