Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc Ep. 6 "Aren't You Going to Become a Hashira?" finally turns the story's spotlight on Genya Shinazugawa. Specifically: it gives us a look into Genya's past/backstory for the first time in the anime. And oh boy, not only is he just as
The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2 Ep. 5 "First impressions are the most lasting." gives us something that's truly rare in the world of anime. In fact, not just anime, but in all of fiction in general. What is that rare something that's so amazing that I feel the need to feature it in this review,
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc Ep. 5 "Bright Red Sword" is more than just about a simple sword. It's also about the people wielding those swords against the Demons with burning passion. So not only do the Demons have to face red hot passion, but also red hot swords as
The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2 Ep. 4 "The cowl does not make the monk." gives Chise an unexpected visit to her new grandmother-in-law. At least, that's the closest approximation I can come to Chise's relationship to Elias' mentor. She even acts like a doting granny, even though she doesn't look

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc Ep. 3 "A Sword from Over 300 Years Ago" Finally gives Tanjiro the new sword he's been asking for. Only to take it away again for some reasons that are extremely obvious once you see it and think about it. Unfortunately, it's ill timing for
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
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
For better or for worse, the Cold War action-comedy lives! 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have meshed the longstanding Odd Couple road trip with Iron Curtain hijinks and modern action sensibilities for a surprisingly solid but conceptually
