Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives us an epic clash between monsters and humans in Ep. 10 "Long-Arm and Long-Leg". To be more precise actually, it's a clash between daemons, with the humans being caught firmly in the middle. However, the humans here also show that despite being so clearly
Ninja Scroll is perhaps one of the most famous anime films in the world. Not least of which is because it's very clearly a work aimed at adults. Do not let your child watch this anime film, because it's filled with violence, blood, and sex galore. However, it's because of those adult themes that

Witch Hat Atelier shows off the defeat of ableism via a bit of magic by Coco and Tartah in Ep. 10 "A Promise in Silver". Specifically: this episode shows off the harmful effects ableism has on a kid's development, with the disability in this case essentially being monochromacy / total color
It was just three years ago that the world was introduced to the magical world of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. That film was a runaway success at the box office and was surprisingly great, considering some of the gripes coming into it. Now, we're getting a sequel that is adapting one of the most
There's a growing trend in cinema right now, and that is the trend of movies being fun again. Just a good old-fashioned time at the theater (or home since streaming accounts for most viewership these days) filled with laughs and action and heart that remind you why you go to escape in the first
