Blue Box Ep. 19 "I've Got Plans" is the day of a cultural festival: a kind of open campus festival typical for Japanese schools, and is thus typical of school-focused slice of life anime in general. As it turns out, this anime is no different from them. However, it does have the advantage of that
Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League doesn't quite sound like a real movie, right? Seriously, just read back the title to yourself. It sounds more like the homemade workings of a middle schooler with dreams of writing and an imagination to match. And yet, it is an actual movie, and from Warner Bros.
Netflix's own animated take on Devil May Cry looks like it's heating up. After all, it is the second animated adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name after the Devil May Cry anime all the way back in 2007. With the success of the franchise (thanks in no small part to the recent
Blue Box Ep. 18 "I Know" has Taiki engage in a badminton battle of the century against Shūji Yusa. All in spite of the fact that it's a practice match and theoretically not as important as an actual match. Theoretically, that is. If you think about it though, it's great prep for those real matches

SAKAMOTO DAYS is getting amazingly popular in spite of how new it is. Honestly, it's a testament to how good the story of this anime is, which itself is based off of the manga of the same name by Yuto Suzuki. Fans of that manga will recall the ridiculous yet awesomely over-the-top action scenes
It should be clear to everyone by now that anime has gone mainstream. It's not just the big mainstream anime series like One Piece, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia either. Even lesser-known anime series like Fate/stay night are entering the public consciousness. With the knock-on side effect
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Throughout all of our lives, there are people we grow close to who act as beacons, a light in human form that allows us to find our way through the darkness. Sometimes this light merely diminishes or changes, but other times these beacon friends can become anchors, as their influence exerts itself
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
