My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is a very interesting look at a different side of My Hero Academia. The original manga by writer Hideyuki Furuhashi and artist Betten Court is a spinoff and prequel to Kohei Horikoshi's story. It takes place about five years prior to the main story, so it gives us a

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 21 "It was All Worth It" is very peculiar in that it treats Jin-woo's actions throughout the episode as heroic or even comedic. However, even a cursory examination of what he actually does makes you gape at him in shock. From abandoning a key ally

Zenshu Ep. 9 "HERO" has a title that is a bit misleading. On one hand, we do get to see quite a bit of Luke's backstory, both before he met Natsuko and during his meetings with her. On the other hand, the story of this episode doesn't quite feel heroic. At least, not in an uplifting sense. There is

Blue Box Ep. 21 "A Chance to Blossom" carries multiple meanings. The first meaning comes from Chinatsu, and is only apparent when you look at her scene in a romantically philosophical context. The second meaning comes from the newly introduced Ayame Moriya, who is also getting a chance to blossom
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of the most popular anime series in the world right now. In fact, this anime adaptation of the manga of the same name by Koyoharu Gotouge is so popular that it has basically gone mainstream. As mainstream as the likes of One Piece, Naruto, Pokemon, etc., which
I think it's not a far-fetched thing to say that Demon Slayer fans have been waiting for news of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle for a long, long while. Indeed, it really has been a while. After all, the "Hashira Training" arc ended its run on June 30, 2024. That means that we have

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 20 "Looking Up Was Tiring Me Out" has a new female character be the focus of this episode. Alas, she's not really the focus of the story. Rather, her entire character seems built up to be a new satellite love interest character for Jin-woo. Which
Lazarus is all set to be another jaw-droppingly gorgeous and action-packed anime series by creator and director Shinichirō Watanabe. Who is he, you might ask? Well, he is just the man responsible for such anime classics such as Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, and Samurai Champloo. Older readers might
Remaking Faces of Death is a hell of a move in 2026. Although, this movie doesn't really remake that diabolical film from 1978, it instead takes inspiration from it and it even exists in the universe that this film takes place in. So getting that out of the way so that the horror "diehards" who

Sometimes the best way to access the core of a film is to let it take you over completely. Locked behind metaphorical dialogue and an obtuse artistry, the key to the door is simply letting it all in and fester inside until the understanding comes to light. You can't second-screen a film like this,
Hamlet tales are a dime a dozen. Hell, At TIFF 2025 there were at least 3 inspired or adapted movies screening at the festival. There's no shortage of the melancholic prince spouting off famed monologues and plotting to avenge his father. With this many versions of the same tale occurring so often,
