Electric Barrier Reviews

So, the 3rd chapter of the Omori manga adaptation has been released, and I've just finished reading it.  I already thought the second chapter was an improvement, though I did have some issues here and there.

For one, anime's on a down swing I think. It could just be due to me getting older, my standards getting higher and having seen everything before so it needs to be extra good for me t...
