They wreak havoc and devastation on villages, and so Claymore were established to handle them.

Kemonozume is one of Masaaki Yuasa’searlier works: a Romeo and Juliet between humans and monsters. It’s quite a bit like Claymore, actually. Except Kemonozume prioritizes romance, comedy, and drama over action. The art is wacky and expressive, with plenty of personality and dynamic animation lending itself to the zany plot points. Definitely a hidd...

Despite the copious amounts of fan service, Highschool of the Dead still remains...

Yet now it’s fallen into the backdrop somewhat, due to the influx of anime films and popular series released throughout the 2010s. Nonetheless, it’s still an entertaining freeform-time travel story with engaging characters and a wonderful central moral. It’s impact...
Boogiepop Phantom is a dementia-ridden and distorted cerebral horror, coated in a vintage feel that hasn’t aged a day.

Major props towards the sound design and soundtrack, as both seep t...
