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
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.
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
I think it's not a far-fetched thing to say that Demon Slayer fans have been waiting for news of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle for a long, long while. Indeed, it really has been a while. After all, the "Hashira Training" arc ended its run on June 30, 2024. That means that we have

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 20 "Looking Up Was Tiring Me Out" has a new female character be the focus of this episode. Alas, she's not really the focus of the story. Rather, her entire character seems built up to be a new satellite love interest character for Jin-woo. Which
Have you ever considered the similarities between the landmark 1978 slasher Halloween and 1982’s First Blood? In both films, a man of few words arrives in a small town that treats him like the bogeyman, and when circumstances escalate to the point of murder, a specialist who’s highly familiar
Daemons of the Shadow Realm slows down the plot just a bit to plan things out in Ep. 21 "Zashiki-Warashi and Higashi Village". First to let Danji and Kiri the Zashiki-Warashi daemons give Yuru and Asa some important backstory to explain the past of Higashi Village. Then to let the twin siblings to
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia gives us a true puppetmistress in the form of Boraqchin in Ep. 11 "An Ungraceful Stone". This episode has shown her to be a master planner and manipulator, making her quite the political genius. However, this episode also reveals that the people she's puppeting don't
