Doctorkev’s Thoughts on the Summer 2021 Anime Season
After the previous two seasons’ unrelenting barrage of high quality, unmissable anime, I have to admit I was feeling a bit burned out watching over 20 new shows per season. In some ways I am glad that Summer 2021 has burdened me with a significantly lighter load.
Evangelion 3.0+1.01, Emotional Violence and Ultimate Catharsis
As a lifelong anime fan, Hideaki Anno’s magnum opus Neon Genesis Evangelion holds a special — if tortured — place in my heart. Some of its darker aspects first lodged themselves into my psyche back in the late 1990s, when it became my number one teenage obsession…
Bunny Girls, Tentacles and Fruit-based Superpowers Collide in Peach Boy Riverside
This article is a part of AniTAY’s Summer 2021 Early Impressions series, where our authors offer their initial thoughts on the new, prominent, and exciting anime from this season!

So Many Manly Tears — Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train Review
THIS WILL BE SPOILER-FREE UNTIL THE UPCOMING WARNING 15 months. It’s been that long since I last entered a cinema, to watch My Hero Academia The Movie: Heroes Rising.

Doctorkev’s Thoughts on the Spring 2021 Anime Season: Funimation
After last season’s insanely packed roster, I swore that this time I’d reduce my anime burden significantly for Spring. That… didn’t exactly work out. I covered 23 shows last time, and so far I’m up to 19 for this season… Hence the reason I’m splitting my usual midseason article in two again. There’s just too … Read more
