Houseki no Kuni
In the mysterious future, crystalline organisms called Gems inhabit a world that has been destroyed by six meteors. Each Gem is assigned a role in order to fight against the Lunarians, a species who attacks them in order to shatter their bodies and use them as decorations. Phosphophyllite, also known as Phos, is a young and fragile Gem who dreams of helping their friends in the war effort. Instead, they are told to compile an encyclopedia because of their delicate condition. After begrudgingly embarking on this task, Phos meets Cinnabar, an intelligent gem who has been relegated to patrolling the isolated island at night because of the corrosive poison their body creates. After seeing how unhappy Cinnabar is, Phos decides to find a role that both of the rejected Gems can enjoy. Houseki no Kuni follows Phos' efforts to be useful and protect their fellow Gems.

Read full review on AniList →Houseki no Kuni is the dullest anime I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering the gemstone theme.

Read full review on AniList →I watched Land of the Lustrous in August 2020. Looking at its visuals and the uniqueness of the show, I was really excited to just dive in it and have some fun time. After watching this show, all I can think of is how did they get away with such awful character writing and plot structuring. I've se…
Read full review on AniList →Let's face it, anime as a medium isn't what it used to be. That's not to say good anime don't get made anymore, but with how current anime seem to care more about following trends and promoting their original sources, anime that are ambitious and dare to be different are much fewer and rarer in numb…
