  Princess Jellyfish is a slice-of-life style show, so there’s no big action set pieces, no intrigue to be found here, but lots of relationship drama, which is pleasingly well portrayed. Tsukimi Kurashita is pretty obsessed with jellyfish having fallen in love with watching them in an aquarium with her mother when she was a little girl, when her mother...

One of my favourite things about watching and reviewing anime is the sheer breadth and depth of the experiences on offer. The medium stretches across almost every genre imaginable, from action to sports, romance, adventure, drama and everything in between, and you never know how any given show is going to develop. Unless of course you run into something...

Comedy is hard, and its never harder than in anime, where it’s left of string of painfully unfunny harem shows and boring slice-of-life snoozefests in its wake. Fortunately for those watching, Squid Girl dodges these traps and instead emerges as a winning, if slightly lightweight, sketch show with an eye for amusing details. A lot of the amusement in the...

Daten City, a place somewhere between Heaven and Hell is beset with Ghost attacks, but not to worry its ‘protected’ by a pair of Angels! The problem with this is that these angels are Panty and Stocking Anarchy, sisters who really don’t give much of a damn about this whole ‘protection’ thing. P&SwG is rude, crude, brazen and hilarious. If you can...
