English Dub Review: Classroom of the Elite “What is evil? Whatever springs from weakness”

Posted on July 30, 2017August 6, 2017 by Moe Long

Classroom of the Elite opens with a quote about equality, humans changing over time, and eventually concludes with the thought that not everyone is equal. Then it pans to a young girl asking an older bot to give up his seat to an elderly woman since it’s high priority seating. Of all the bus riders, only one is willing to give up their seat for the elderly woman.

Review: Children of Ether “ONA”

Posted on July 29, 2017July 29, 2017 by John Schwarz

Children of Ether is rare territory for Crunchyroll. The service best known for showcasing Japanese language anime now features a franchise created by American-born LeSean Thomas that was produced in Japan for the purposes of international distribution. If you think about it, this is a bit of a landmark event and achievement and if it works Crunchyroll could be going down a whole ‘nother path of animation vertical not seen most anywhere else.
