What if an anime did Beauty and the Beast? Sacrificial Princess & the King of Beasts

August 28, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sacrificial Princess & the King of Beasts is based on Yu Tomofuji’s manga, but it somewhat reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. Mainly because there’s a worryingly young Beauty and an oddly fluffy Beast.

Fans of the award-winning book will know whether this is a lovely romance, a touching slice of life or whether it gets darker. The rest of us will have to find out and hope that studio CLAP signs licensing deals.

Yowamushi Pedal: Probably not supernatural horror, probably a sports anime

August 23, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are some surreal moments of horror in the first trailer for the new season of Yowamushi Pedal. I think these are visual similes, which seem under-used in anime, but the faces pulled are grotesque.

Delicious in Dungeon: Dungeon crawling with calories as heroes take on cooking

August 17, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they’re sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons…none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!
