Alpi: The Soul Sender Vol. 01 by Rona is a unique and interesting take on the fantasy genre. On one hand, it's a calm and relaxing slice-of-life fantasy story about a wandering exorcist girl and her guardian/father figure traveling a land full of spirits. On the other hand, the story does

The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2 Ep. 11 "A small leak will sink a great ship. I" reveals that Chise and her school friends have some nice slice of life fun at the College. They rather need it after all the dark fantasy action of the previous episode. It's also to prepare them for the dark fantasy
The season finale of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc is finally upon us in the form of Ep. 11 "A Connected Bond: Daybreak and First Light". And boy, is it quite the finale. Not the least because a main character we've been waiting to hear for several arcs now can finally
Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives us some truly fateful meetings between old friends (and family) and new in Ep. 14 "Family and Friends". All complete with some dark secrets spilling forth out of the shadows, and Yuru's bond with his old friends and family being tested quite a bit. All in all, I
