Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 25 "On to the Next Target" marks the finale of the second season of this anime. Alas, it's a finale that begins and ends with curbstomp after curbstomp. Such things might be entertaining as an opening act, but by this point, it feels more boring

Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is exactly what it says on the tin. It's literally just an anime film recapping most of the first season. Not even entirely the first season either. Oh well, at least we get a fun OVA starring Soshiro Hoshina tacked on at the end as a treat. Now if only the entire cast

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 23 "It's Going to Get Even More Intense" is basically a chance for the side cast to get their moment of awesomeness. Alas, they get exactly one episode to be awesome, and it's not even the entire episode either. Near the end, they encounter the
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 22 "We Need a Hero" tries to make up for the terrible plot of the previous episodes with action. As well as an attempt at story. It kind of succeeds in the latter, but at least there's enough of the former that you can switch your brain off and

Sasaki and Peeps brings us one big magical SNAFU in Ep. 14 "Death Games and Demons", complete with a bloody fight and civilian deaths. As you might imagine, this is as huge a problem as the title suggests. And yet, it still falls short of a true action-packed episode due to the lack of action

The 2026 reboot of Magic Knight Rayearth shows us that friendship is quite powerful in the magic department in Ep. 4 "Our Battle".
