The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2 Ep. 3 "Birds of a feather flock together. II" not only gives us a more detailed look at Chise's classmates, but it also gives us a look at Chise's life when classes at the College are over and done with. Admittedly, it seems to be more or less the same as what
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc Ep. 2 "Yoriichi Type Zero" seems like it has one of the strangest titles of all the episodes of the anime. It sounds more like a title of an episode from a sci-fi anime. There's a good reason for that. Especially what with the highly
The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2 Ep. 2 "Birds of a feather flock together. I" gives us Chise's first school day at the College. Admittedly, it's not her first school day period, but it goes much better than her mundane school days. Chise even meets an old friend during class and seems to be making

It seems that studio Orange has decided to make Trigun Stampede Ep. 12 "High Noon at July" end the season with a bang. It's a pretty spectacular bang to boot, and it even makes up for all the negatives the anime had in its early episodes. I daresay that with this finale, this reboot anime is as
Trigun Stampede Ep. 11 "To a New World" really goes off-rails from the original canon, but this time in a good way. With this episode featuring some nightmarish content of the botanical variety, it really leans into horror far more than the 1998 anime ever did. Frankly, this seems like a great
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 reveals the depths a certain hunter named Ivan has in Ep. 20 "The Hunted and the Hunter". It's very bloody and dark depths, but it does show that Ivan will likely be a major recurring villain in the story, and will play a major role in that story somehow. As well as
