Dance With Devils Fortuna - A Review

 Almost exactly three years ago, I wrote about the Dance with Devils anime. It was enjoyable. I wished I could've gotten the chance to play the otome game, because I would've liked to see more of the main love interests. However, the game was never localised, and even if my Japanese level was high enough to understand it, PS Vita game prices have gone up so I'll probably never be able to get it for a good price.

I had mostly forgotten about DWD, but I still listened to the songs a lot. The opening of the anime is actually one of my favourite anime OPs of all time. I also listen to the duet between Mage and Shiki too much. It'll probably be on my Spotify Wrapped this year.

Apart from the anime series and the otome game, there's also a live action DWD musical, and a movie. Last night, I spontaneously decided to watch the movie... And today I will give you my thoughts on it! I wrote this in a bit of a rush because I had a lot of thoughts to get down, so I apologise for any grammatical errors. If you want to see my original review of the anime, please direct yourself here. The post is old and a bit cringeworthy though.

Thoughts on Shenmue the Animation

I was randomly browsing Crunchyroll and on the front page, I saw that the Shenmue anime is finally here! Luckily you don't have to be a premium member to watch the episodes. Almost immediately, I decided to give it a try. My thoughts on the first episode will be down below!

Black Butler II: A Review

Wait a minute... isn't this an otome blog? Why am I reviewing an anime here? It's been a long time since I've written a proper review post, and since I'm not playing anything at the moment, I thought I'd cover something I've been watching instead: the second series of Black Butler (or Kuroshitsuji, whatever you want to call it).

I know this was released years ago and is old news now, but that's alright. It's always been like that, I discover something long after everyone else has found it and talked about it to death. Actually, I purchased and read the first volume of the manga quite a long time ago. Then I watched a few episodes of the anime and completely forgot about it until a few weeks ago. That was when I decided to watch the first season of the anime entirely. 

Those first twenty five episodes I saw on Netflix I enjoyed quite a bit. I preferred the series when it was less comedic and focussed on the actual plot, but in the end I didn't mind the fan service stuff. Afterwards I wanted to read more of the manga, but because it's a bit hard to go out shopping for books at the moment, I settled on the second part of the anime. It took me three days to watch all twelve episodes of it. Yes, I know there are six OVAs as well, but I forgot to see those. Oh yeah, I also watched it subbed if that's important. I like how the English dub tries to make them sound British and use regional slang, but I'm one of those people who insists on only watching stuff in its original language.

So, what do I think of this second season? Keep reading to find out!
