The Hidden Depths of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
anime
You might not expect a cutesy slice-of-life anime to take on complicated topics like immigration or non-traditional families, but there's more to this dragon-driven comedy than meets the eye! Gabriel Peralta explains.
― Headcanons and theories in fiction are fan pastimes I've never fully understood. Yes, there's a certain allure in believing that Aladdin takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, or th...
Ninja Slayer From Animation BD+DVD
anime
YEEEART! Ninja Slayer has come swooping onto Blu-ray, but does this "so bad it's good" comedy play out as well as Studio Trigger intended? Nick Creamer finds out.
― To find Ninja Slayer's stylistic progenitors, it's best to look outside of anime altogether, not to film or literature, but to another proud legacy of cheaply constructed comedy television - Adult Swim. With its unmoving cutout characters...

Review: NieR: Automata

― It's important to know that NieR: Automata does not hate you, the player. NieR: Automata very easily could, after all. Yoko Taro's Drakengard titles are vicious creations, and Drakengard 3 remains a fascinatingly savage mockery of violent games and play...
Answerman - Why Did Anime Use 16mm Instead Of 35mm Film?
anime
Back when anime was produced on film, it used a smaller film size than most - 16mm vs. 35mm, the standard for most movies. Why was that?
― Elliott asks: With the recent push of Gundam productions put on Blu-Ray in North America I've become curious about the usage of 16mm film versus 35mm. Most of the TV productions seem to be printed on 16mm. However, the first several episodes of Victory Gundam and...
