Reviews
Full-length reviews of anime seasons, films and games — scored, argued, and written only after our critic reached the credits.
We do not review from a press kit or a first episode. Every scored verdict here comes from someone who finished the thing, sat with it, and can defend the number.
Scores are out of ten, with a plain-language verdict at the top for readers who only want the answer.
