Just had a look back through the movies I’ve seen at the cinema this year, 188 in total. 117 of these were through ODEON Limitless. 5 of them were £3 Dolby Cinema upgrades on top of Limitless, and 7 were £5 IMAX upgrades. 2 ODEON screenings I had to pay for due to being event …

Writings from JCuri
I stumbled upon a backup of the writings I had provided for JapanCuriosity, so have decided to dump them here, on jaysgba.com, just in case I ever want to refer back to them. Whether I write anything new, only time will tell.
Review: Hello!! Kinmoza! Complete Season Two [Blu-ray]
Choo Choo! All aboard the Yuri train! Kiniro Mosaic is back for its second batch of episodes, split across two discs instead of one this time, for all that Slice of Life animation glory. I’m not gonna re-tread on past points, and everything said in my Season One review is still true, so go and …

A Cour in Review: Spring 2018
After having a small wander through the Japan Curiosity Archives, I noticed that the usual season preview had never been done for the cour that has just passed. Now, I know that the season is almost, and for most shows is (Thanks Clover Works), over; but I felt like I could take a crack at …

Review: Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls [DVD]
Some people think that slice of life anime with a bland protagonist surrounded by cute girls that he wants to sleep with is a bad thing. In a lot of cases, they are correct, but when the harem consists of a lamia (snek girl), harpy (berb girl), and centaur (horse girl) you’d be hard-pressed to …

“The world will collapse and end, I was told mercilessly.” A translation of the first line of the opening song, Bravely You, for the anime Charlotte, of which this is a review of part two to said show. As with the last time I did a review of a sequel, I don’t believe this will …
