I would best describe Lycoris Recoil as a modern and light-hearted take on the girls with guns genre. Basically: it's like if you took Gunslinger Girl, and made it not morbidly depressing. Quite the opposite, really. It even has a healthy dose of yuri in it. There's a reason why almost everyone has
Dragon Age: Absolution is an interesting mix of epic fantasy adventure and a heist story. However, it never really rises above being a decent story. The only thing that saves this adult animated series from mediocrity, in my opinion, is a combination of likable main cast and its good LGBTQ
Focus Features Spoiler Alert is based on the memoir of a longer name: Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Other Four-Letter Words. The film stars Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory) and Ben Aldrige (Fleabag) as Michael Ausiello and Kit Cowan, respectively. Michael Ausiello is a real

For a film called All Of A Sudden, very little happens suddenly in Hamaguchi Ryusuke’s sensitive portrayal of friendship and care. The director (Drive My Car) has a particularly patient style of filmmaking that is not universally appealing, but it captures humanity in all its messy earnestness.
Sasaki and Peeps gives us plots galore being brewed up, as you might expect from Ep. 15 "Concealment and Infiltration" with that title. Complete with both the faking of a death and an undercover operation to investigate the death game faction. It's all great ingredients for some serious political
