「東京喰種トーキョーグール [JACK]」 (Tokyo Guuru [JACK])
“Tokyo Ghoul: JACK”

Tokyo Ghoul is back with an episode centered around Arima and his highschool classmates. Expect lots of blood, plenty of ghouls, some familiar faces, and a healthy dose of tragedy to wash it all down.

「sunny day」

Here, the Good End. Happy now?

And thus Mushishi ends with the end of an era, perhaps in more ways than one.

「かぐや姫の物語」 (Kaguya-hime no Monogatari)
“The Tale of Princess Kaguya”

Takahata Isao delivers what presumes to be his final Ghibli film, and if that is the case, then what a send-off it was.

“PSYCHO-PASS Movie”

‘From birth it is clear to him that this narrow world, strewn with prohibitions, can only be called in question by absolute violence.’

“Blue-Eyed Casval”

A Gundam prequel with the perfect balance of familial and political drama – what more could we ask for?

「たまこラブストーリー」 (Tamako Rabusutourii)
“Tamako Love Story”

I once said that what Tamako Market lacked was romance, and that it didn’t make good on its potential by bringing real change to its characters’ lives. Now, with Tamako Love Story, they’ve done that. So the question becomes—did they succeed?

「誰かが願った小さな世界」 (Dareka ga Negatta Chiisa na Sekai)
“The Small World That Someone Wished For”

I don’t think there’s any question Sasasegawa Sasami’s arc is one of the simpler and more straightforward in the Little Busters anime repertoire.
