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
Honestly, it feels like the death of QJ in the previous episode in the previous episode was just the start. Zenshu Ep. 10 "CHAOS" is basically what happens when that one death causes the entire show to turn a very sudden and hard turn into some very dark fantasy. Ironically enough, it's just as the
Blue Box Ep. 22 "Inota!" gives us a more in-depth look at the new girl: Ayame Moriya. Relax, everyone. She's not here to form another corner of the love triangle. If anything, she ends up supporting the Hina corner of the triangle after hearing her story. As it turns out, Ayame can be a very fierce
One Piece is one of the most famous anime series in the world right now. It's really no surprise if you're a reader of the manga of the same name by Eiichiro Oda. The manga's mix of high-octane action and silly Straw Hat Pirates antics is just as delightful to watch in anime form as it was to read.
For some, one of the best parts of collecting is finding that diamond in the rough. From limited pieces to chases, Funko is one of those companies that people enjoy the hunt for. To me, one of the best items for these finds is the Funko Soda line. Unlike their Pop! figures you don't know what you
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
The last few episodes of HBO's The Pitt have been a whirlwind of activity. Though not covered here, the show ran the gamut from staff assaults to ICE's appearance. The latter was a prescient addition to the storyline given the current climate in America, and something the show portrayed correctly.
There was a time when the stoner comedy was a reliable genre, particularly among the coveted demographic of young men. I remember those late nights in the college dorm quite fondly. Up late working on a paper last minute, ready for the weekend, and a friend suggests ordering a pizza and popping in
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
