Zenshu Ep. 1 "FIRST STROKE." is an anime that defies genres and other conventions of anime. It makes you think it's going to be an anime about making anime like Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, but then it suddenly pulls the rug out from under you and turns it into an isekai anime. One featuring a
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- is one of the most long-awaited second seasons of any anime in recent times. It's not hard to see why either. The first season of Solo Leveling premiered on Crunchyroll to wild acclaim. Critics and audiences alike praised the anime for worldbuilding,

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II Ep. 12 "The Reason to Fight" gives us a real plot twister in this final episode of the season. A plot twist that involves actual military personnel, no less. Let's just say that the NPCs are most definitely not what anyone expected them to be. Sword

Much of where Blue Box Ep. 12 "Girls..." takes place in is during a summer festival. However, there's not many chances for our main characters to enjoy the fesitivities, it seems. Between teenage angst about romance and a lost kid, this festival seems more like a festival of worries than anything

DAN DA DAN Ep. 12 "Let's Go to the Cursed House" takes us right back to the anime's roots as a horror anime. Complete with some very creepy stuff happening in this hot springs town, including some sexual assault. Too bad it all stops right in the middle before the story concludes anything. I guess

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II Ep. 11 "Pitohui's Attack" shows how a good defensive position combined with some well-programmed bot players can make orthodox tactics useless. Of course, our main characters aren't entirely without options here. When orthodox tactics fail, then it's

Blue Box Ep. 11 "Uncool!" is basically Hina's chance to shine after Chinatsu more or less rejected Taiki. However, the Hina complication works both ways. After all, she can't stand to see just how uncool Taiki is being after that rejection, even if it means sabotaging her own chances with him. Blue

DAN DA DAN Ep. 11 "First Love" features a story of two dummies. One is a human dummy, while the other is a dummy dummy. However, what they both share is that they have a whole bunch of love coursing through them, which doesn't care what kind of dummies they are. DAN DA DAN Ep. 11 "First Love":
One of Aardman Animations' most popular characters, the intelligent and ever-inquisitive Shaun the Sheep, finally has another trip to the big screen. The Shaun movies have become a franchise of their own, spinning off the iconic Wallace & Gromit shorts and features into a well-loved TV series.
For better or for worse, the Cold War action-comedy lives! 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have meshed the longstanding Odd Couple road trip with Iron Curtain hijinks and modern action sensibilities for a surprisingly solid but conceptually
“By Any Means” treads familiar ground, but Mark Wahlberg shines as real life Hitman-turned-Fed informer Gregory Scarpa, and behind the tropes and cinematic conventions is the kernel of a true story that has relevance to this day. Mark Wahlberg is distracting (mostly in a good way) throughout
