The Last Blossom isn't just a gangster story. It's a sharp look at 1980s Japan, a vanishing Tokyo skyline, and a heartfelt exploration of what truly matters in life. #scotlandlovesanime https://www.geeknative.com/214741/anime-review-the-last-blossom/
It's hard to make a time loop story feel fresh. All You Need Is Kill manages it, right up until the final, surreal moments. A worthy watch. #scotlandlovesanime https://www.geeknative.com/214859/anime-review-all-you-need-is-kill-and-a-good-power-suit/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-GNBlogWave1

Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Review: A Visually Impressive but Convoluted Finale

Our review of Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Does the After Colony finale deliver, or is it a confusing mess of politics and robots for anyone but existing fans?

We checked out Golgo 13: The Professional at Scotland Loves Anime. It's a film that's part artistic masterpiece, part 80s action cheese, and part problematic relic. A strange mix. #scotlandlovesanime https://www.geeknative.com/214481/scotland-loves-anime-review-golgo-13-dated-daring-and-dangerous/
Scotland Loves Anime Review: Golgo 13 – Dated, Daring, and Dangerous

Is Golgo 13: The Professional still a classic? We review the 80s action anime, looking at its pioneering CGI, artistic direction, and chauvinistic plot.

It's hard to like the main character Yu Azuma in "Trapezium" because she schemes to use other people to achieve fame. Even the trailer begins with an apology for her actions. #scotlandlovesanime https://www.geeknative.com/169615/review-trapezium-an-idol-story/
Review: Trapezium, an idol story

Look Back is a great anime. These two girls are worlds apart and yet connected through manga. #scotlandlovesanime https://www.geeknative.com/169586/review-look-back-a-sadly-magical-anime/
Review: Look Back - a sadly magical anime

The director of Look Back is Kiyotaka Oshiyama of Devilman: Crybaby (key animation) and Chainsaw Man (devil designer). So don't expect a wholesome story!

Ghost Cat Anzu was, I think, the second best feature-length anime at #ScotlandLovesAnime during the Edinburgh week where it got its UK premiere. https://www.geeknative.com/169611/review-ghost-cat-anzu-uk-premiere-at-scotland-loves-anime/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-GNBlogWave1
Review: Ghost Cat Anzu UK premiere at Scotland Loves Anime

I liked Ghost Cat Anzu from the moment the big goofball drove up on his bike and stared at Karin. I kept faith with it even while Karin was being a pain and Anzu waivered.
