By almost all accounts, the anime adaptation of DAN DA DAN is a massive hit. It's become quite clear that the original Shonen Jump manga of the same name by Yukinobu Tatsu is now one of the best anime series of 2024. With no small amount of help from Science SARU (Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!,
By the time you reach DAN DA DAN Ep. 10 "Have You Ever Seen a Cattle Mutilation?", you're already getting the feeling that the anime likes doing emotional gut punches in between the action, comedy, and horror. This one now features a pitiful alien, and the reason why he wants money so much. As it
DAN DA DAN Ep. 9 "Merge! Serpo Dover Demon Nessie!" is a peculiarly entertaining episode in more ways than one. It's not only a love triangle dynamic in action, but also a nod to old tokusatsu series like Power Rangers. It's such an odd mix of genres and references that you can't help but laugh the
DAN DA DAN Ep. 8 "I've Got This Funny Feeling" features the start of a formula that's been traditional for love stories for a very long time. That would be the love triangle formula. With some supernatural horror action thrown in for flavor. DAN DA DAN Ep. 8 "I've Got This Funny Feeling": Details
DAN DA DAN Ep. 7 "To a Kinder World" is just an episode full of plot twists. It continues from where we last left off in the previous episode as a horror action thriller, of course. Then it shows you the monster's backstory, and suddenly, you're reduced to tears. Truly, this is the hallmark of a
DAN DA DAN Ep. 6 "A Dangerous Woman Arrives" has a bit of a bait and switch plot going on. All revolving around the supposed antagonist of this episode. There's quite a bit of foreshadowing around it though, so you can already guess who the true antagonist is going to be even before the switch. Oh
DAN DA DAN Ep. 5 "Like, Where Are Your Balls?!" is...not quite as odd an episode as the title implies. It's actually a pretty straightforward story. So long as you ignore the obvious stuff, and remember what had happened in the previous episodes. Oh, and with the surprise reappearance of a
DAN DA DAN Ep. 4 "Kicking Turbo Granny's Ass" kicks this anime into high gear with a boss fight against the titular Turbo Granny. However, this crabby old spirit isn't fighting alone. Apparently, she has an ally of epic proportions. All entirely historically, of course. After all, Sony did insist
Last week's episode of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School left off with Faran (Zaria) taking on Bloody Rose Water's test like a champ. Of course, Bloody Rose Waters is a sore loser. So, she still attacks Faran, who not so easily gets away but not before slicing her arm with a knife. This week's
Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl returned for one of their four final specials for The Last Drive-In with a creature feature meets modern horror pairing, bringing together Rawhead Rex (1986) and Oddity (2024). It is a bizarre double feature on paper, and somehow even stranger in execution.
Hokum follows in the footsteps of other horror movies released recently that are what we like to call "slow burns." That subgenre usually starts slow and brings our characters into another world or brings an item from another world into ours. Hokum comes from writer/director Damian McCarthy, who
