Zenshu Ep. 12 "ZENSHU" has got to be one of the most satisfying finales I've seen in any recent anime. All because of the depth of emotion here as Natsuko and her new friends try to stave off the end of this fantasy world. No spoilers here, but let's just say that this finale makes all of the main
Zenshu Ep. 11 "DESPAIR" truly deserves its title. This is an episode that drives all of its characters to the edge of despair, and even beyond it. And yet, it's because of how dark the story has become that any hint of hope becomes something you latch onto. Fortunately, in the midst of the

Zenshu Ep. 8 "CONFESSION" is where Natsuko's relationship with Luke really turns up a couple notches. In fact, the entire genre of the anime changes with this episode, turning into a romantic comedy in the process. Truly, this episode is an isekai love story. Zenshu Ep. 8 "CONFESSION": Details This
The entirety of Zenshu Ep. 7 "FIRST LOVE" is essentially a detailed look into Natsuko's life story. A story that leads up to her present day and pre-isekai problem of trying to depict a first love story. Needless to say, it can be a bit difficult to draw out a first love if your first love was and

The Apothecary Diaries begins its long-awaited third season, introducing Maomao to a potential plague in Ep. 49 "Locusts". The nature of the plague is quite obvious as you can tell from the title. The real mystery here is how all the characters plan to deal with this looming threat to the entire
By now, you know how much of a sucker I am for wholly embraced absurdity and weirdness in cinema. Movies that know what they are and have no shame in being them will always be for me. Back in Black has that all covered in spades. A pitch black comedy thriller that satirically uses the macabre and
