Henry Ships — Editor & Lead Writer
Henry has been watching anime since discovering Cowboy Bebop on late-night TV in the early 2000s. What started as a casual hobby turned into a genuine obsession — thousands of episodes later, he still gets excited every season when the new lineup drops.
His areas of expertise include shounen battle series (particularly the power system design in shows like Hunter x Hunter and Jujutsu Kaisen), mecha anime history, and the business side of anime production. He’s the person who will pause a fight scene to explain why the key animation is exceptional.
Favorite Series (The Honest List)
- All-time #1: Hunter x Hunter (2011) — The Chimera Ant arc changed how he thinks about storytelling
- Best recent: Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End — Proof that quiet anime can be devastating
- Guilty pleasure: Food Wars — Yes, the food orgasms are ridiculous. Yes, he watched all of it.
- Most rewatched: Steins;Gate — Still catches new details on every rewatch
- Unpopular opinion: Vinland Saga’s Farmland Arc is better than the action arcs
