Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie offers a rather unique take on the romantic comedy story between a girl and a boy. For starters: the female Miyako Shikimori has a distinctly masculine personality compared to the male Yuuki Izumi's distinctly feminine personality. For the rest: there are many strong
Despite its title, Trigun Stampede Ep. 7 "Wolfwood" is not entirely about Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Our brave and titular hero Vash the Stampede also gets a lot of screen time in this episode. Not only that, but the end of the episode also gives us a massive revelation about Vash's identity that
I would best describe Lycoris Recoil as a modern and light-hearted take on the girls with guns genre. Basically: it's like if you took Gunslinger Girl, and made it not morbidly depressing. Quite the opposite, really. It even has a healthy dose of yuri in it. There's a reason why almost everyone has

Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is a grounded, pulse pounding gut-punch of a film. A wholly unique experience that proves that you can still iterate on conventions and present them with a sense of newness.
What happens when you make a movie that's about four years too late on its subject matter? You get The Social Reckoning. At this point in our lives, we all know that social media is a cesspool and that a lot of that is Facebook/Meta's fault. They chose to act like the silent arbiter and actively
