Witch Watch Season 1 was the long-awaited anime adaptation of the Shonen Jump manga of the same name by Kenta Shinohara (Sket Dance, Astra Lost in Space). And by all accounts, it did a pretty good job of adapting that manga. That first season won a d anime store Award for Laughter Anime, and
Witch Watch Ep. 9 "Dear Kara / New Friends / Date With the Knight" gives us another vignette episode. However, this is one series of vignette with a lot of heart in them. In fact, at least one of the vignettes has so much heart in it that it will move you to tears. Witch Watch Ep. 9 "Dear Kara /
Witch Watch Ep. 8 "Kanshi’s Part-Time Job Diaries ~The Superhero Show~ / Kanshi’s Part-Time Job Diaries ~The Side Job~" is another vignette episode, but this time starring Kanshi Kazamatsuri. In fact, it stars him in a pair of wildly contrasting scenarios. First he gets a heartfelt episode, and
Witch Watch Ep. 7 "Kan and Nico’s Channel / The Tea Ceremony is a Piece of Tea Cake" gives us another vignette episode. Two of them, this time, and both depicting the perils of YouTubing and streaming (in a manner of speaking). Both somehow end up being both informative and utterly hilarious.

Witch Watch Ep. 3 "FRESH TRANSPARENT FASHIONS FOR SPRING / WITCH'S DELIVERY SERVICE / LOST DOGS AND THE PATTER OF RAIN" is the first episode to introduce a new main character to the anime. One who introduces some corvid-flavored chaos to the mix. However, before that, Nico inflicts her own brand of
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
The last few episodes of HBO's The Pitt have been a whirlwind of activity. Though not covered here, the show ran the gamut from staff assaults to ICE's appearance. The latter was a prescient addition to the storyline given the current climate in America, and something the show portrayed correctly.
When Margaret Atwood returned to Gilead almost 35 years later, with her book The Testaments, the sequel to her seminal The Handmaid’s Tale, they said she could never match its genius. The story more than matched her 1985 dystopian classic, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, feeling horrifically timely
