Why is Non Non Biyori categorised as Seinen?

Print This Post August 23, 2014 by Sauvik Biswas 1 Comment

In my opinion, Non Non Biyori should be the gold standard in slice-of-life genre. With its likable characters and soothing atmosphere, it definitely makes a pleasant watch no matter what my mood is. I had written about it soon after the anime was over. The show garnered a huge popularity in Japan. So much so … [Read more…]

Attack on Titan Dubbed Opening.

Attack on Titan is now airing on Cartoon Network Adult Swim in US. As a result, the series has been dubbed. I must admit that this dub is very much above average (considering the poor quality rushed dub of most series). I agree that dubs are important.

Non Non Biyori: Slice of life doesn’t get better than this

Print This Post January 11, 2014 by Sauvik Biswas 2 Comments

Non Non Biyori is one of the best slice-of-life anime I have ever come across. This little gem that aired last fall did not get as much attention as it deserves. Well, maybe in its home country but not outside. The summary on the Crunchyroll page is very very deceptive. It is hard to write … [Read more…]

AnoHana (short for Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai – We still do not know the name of the flower we saw that day) is a very touching drama. Like all other kids, there were six kids who are the central characters to the story. Like all other kids they … [Read more…]

The Cat and the Illusionist

This weekend I managed to watch two French animated features. Both were released in 2010 and are surprisingly good. Une Vie de Chat Une Vie de Chat (lit. One Life of Cat, released in English as A Cat in Paris) is a film directed by Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Felicioli. The film follows the life … [Read more…]
