A curse or A pattern?

Three strikes and you're out!

I have said it before and I'll say it again, bad art and animation style will ruin an anime's potential. And as of this moment we have 3 shows that have fallen due to this mistake.


The first that popped up was Girls Band Cry - a coming-of-age music / slice of life that used 3D animation instead of the usual 2D that we know best, but it gets worse.



Afterwards came 'DDDD', which is the abbreviated title for DEAD DEAD DEMONS DEDEDEDE DESTRUCTION, I genuinely don't understand this name and the reason for it. The premise for this show is a slice of life / alien invasion, and it got completely fucked over because of how Production +h did the art style, and look I can completely respect wanting to stay true to the source material, but sometimes no.



Most recently there was a Rick and Morty anime released, and instead of either staying with the original, iconic animation, or even redrawing it into a more well-known anime style, they uglified it. I don't know what shocked me more, that this was allowed or that some people actually like it.



Three times now that we've seen high potential anime shows get butchered because of the art style, lets hope more doesnt come along.

A Dark Turn from a Lighthearted series

 What's up readers, it's that time of the month. For this rendition of Anime Rec/Rev I want to talk about an anime that went darker than even I expected, BanG Dream! Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast. Synopsis  Ave Mujica, the band to which Sakiko Togawa invited the members, was achieving commercial success through live performances and media exposure. A girl who had lost both the friends she had vowed to share her fate with and the house where she was born and raised. For what purpose does she bear the burden of another person's whole life and continue the band? She hides her past and her true face behind a mask, and tonight, she descends into the perfect miniature garden. This part of the BanG Dream series was set to follows the 'secrete' band Ave Musica on its journey to stardom, however things take a dramatic turn when during the first concert, one of the band mates unmasks them all, without forewarning or permission.  From this point on we are shown as the band spira...

Wellness in the Land of the Brave: Getting Fit Without Breaking the Bank

  Wellness in the Land of the Brave: Getting Fit Without Breaking the Bank By Francouis Pretorius Let’s be honest. Staying fit in Namibia isn’t always easy. Gym memberships can be expensive. Healthy food feels like a luxury. And if you live outside major cities like Windhoek or Swakop, your options for wellness support may feel… limited. But here’s the truth: you don’t need imported protein powders, expensive equipment, or elite training programs to get healthy. What you need is consistency, community, and creativity — all of which we have in abundance here in the Land of the Brave. 1. Start With What You Have You don’t need a gym to get strong. You have your body, the floor, the sun, and the sand. That’s enough. Try this simple full-body routine: Push-ups (wall, knee, or full) – 3 sets of 10–15 Bodyweight squats – 3 sets of 15–20 Mountain climbers – 3 sets of 20 seconds Plank hold – 3 rounds of 30 seconds Jumping jacks – 3 sets of 30 seconds Bonus: ...

   Why Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is the Fantasy Phenomenon We Didn’t Know We Needed By Francouis Pretorius “You do not enter the world of dragons lightly. You either come back a rider… or you don’t come back at all.” When I picked up Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, I thought I knew what I was getting: a spicy, dragon-riding fantasy romance with tropes I’ve seen before, deadly academies, fierce competitions, enemies-to-lovers tension. But what I actually found was a book that has earned every bit of its viral buzz, gripping readers far beyond the usual fantasy crowd. This novel isn’t just a bestseller. It’s a cultural moment. The Plot That Grabs You by the Throat At Basgiath War College, cadets train to become dragon riders, scribes, or healers. The stakes? Life or death, literally. Violet Sorrengail, our physically fragile but mentally sharp heroine, is forced by her ruthless mother (the commanding general) to enter the deadly Riders Quadrant. From the moment Violet steps o...
