Golden Kamuy Final Season ‒ Episode 56
As the end draws near, it’s never been less certain where some ofGolden Kamuy’s characters stand, and there’s no telling quite how this powder keg will blow!
Wash It All Away ‒ Episode 7
This episode’s social media-centric premise was stretched out a little bit too thin for me.
Hana-Kimi ‒ Episode 8
Without Umeda around, I supposesomeone has to be the one to point out to Mizuki that she's being silly.
You and I Are Polar Opposites ‒ Episode 6
Miyu's reunion with her “ex” isn't exactly high-stakes melodrama, but for a show as fluffy as this one, it might as well be

I think we've all had a time or two in our lives where we're left facing the hard decision of which would be worse: ruining somebody's fun or letting them be disappointed in the end.

There's no point in being jealous about something that you can't have or of someone that you aren't, because all it does is distract from the fact that you can still lead a happy and fulfilling life as you are.
Sentenced to Be a Hero ‒ Episode 6
The sub-theme of the two of things being more alike than different, and that being the source of Xylo’s angst, is a compelling one, something I hope the show explores more of in the future.

Oh yeah, Knives is awake now and he’s ready to bring on the apocalypse.
Roll Over and Die ‒ Episode 6
I believe Flum, Milkit, and the audience all deserve some fluffy domestic lesbian bliss, and this week,Roll Over and Die agrees with me.

I’m not sure if I want to laugh or sob at the idea of Utage taking Tamon to a showing of a documentary about the competition that sent him spiraling.
Chained Soldier Season 2 ‒ Episode 6
I do like this Kuusetsu gal that's so gleefully stealing the spotlight whenever she's on screen. She's a pesky little gremlin who can transform on a dime and obliterate the rib-cages of anyone stupid enough to talk smack to her face.
Champignon Witch ‒ Episodes 6-7
Although Luna doesn’t say much, we know that she and Lize want the same thing: to find someone to love, someone who can be with them without being harmed.

Anime in 2025: Is the Crunchyroll Cage Real?
Is it a death sentence when anime series stream outside of Crunchyroll?

WithFATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE, We're in a Horror Game Golden Age
When I got the chance to preview the opening chapters ofFATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE, I was excited to be reintroduced to the familiar tale.

Tougen Anki Episodes 13-24 Anime Series Review
This is hands-down, one of the worst shounen series I think I've ever seen.― I was very harsh with the first half of this season of Tougen Anki. I thought this show was a by-the-numbers shounen that barely had anything new or inventive to bring to the table. Anything unique it did bring was vastly undercooked to the point where it barely mattered at all in the grand scheme of things. I thought the d...

My Thoughts After 20 Hours WithMonster Hunter Stories 3
The same things that will inevitably make this game more tedious for some players will also scratch a hyper-specific itch for others.―Monster Hunter is one of those game franchises likeHarvest Moon/Story of Seasons, where it's not totally uncommon to find people who get super into it, have encyclopedic knowledge of it, and have save files easily exceeding 300 hours. I… am not one of those people. ...

Why did I have to get this flashback NOW?
Pokémon Pokopia Might Be A Lot Darker Then We Think
I wasn’t expecting a game that looked like this to have potentially darker implications!― The Pokémon franchise has always toyed with the idea of utilizing Pokémon in creative ways outside of battling.

Scarlet Anime Film Review
IsScarlet Mamoru Hosoda’s best film? No. But is it an above-average film worth watching? Absolutely.― It's obvious from nearly the first scene of acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda's newest film thatScarlet draws from the Shakespearean playHamlet.

Fate/strange Fake ‒ Episode 6
Ayaka is a young woman ruled by guilt. Saber is a man ruled by his passions.
Trigun Stargaze ‒ Episode 5

There is no summit without the mountain. Coop Bicknell explains the importance of a good rival in sports anime.― If you've ever watched sports, an action film, or the occasional episode of anime, I'm fairly sure you've heard the term “heel” thrown around.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1 ‒ Episode 53

My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha Anime Series Review
This is an anti-hero story so lacking in proper hamminess that there’s hardly a single bit of pork on the bone here.― There's a part of me that feels there's a much better comedy buried underneath this tale of fantasy melodrama. We have a klutzy warrior girl who doesn't know her own strength and a weird girl who thinks she's a cat. A leading maid's underlings try to trollishly and absurdly seize pow...

The Darwin Incident ‒ Episode 5
The cops wear body cameras now, Shun Umezawa, and spoiler alert, that hasn't made them or their adoring public treat suspects any better.

Nioh 3 Video Game Review
For a lot of folks,Nioh 3 might sound like some form of divine punishment. For sickos who crave a truly hardcore descent into bloody hell, though,Nioh 3 is just plain divine.― I am a hardcore fan of theDark Souls games and their legion of siblings, cousins, and imitators, but even I have to regard theNioh franchise with a certain amount of dark reverence.

Journal with Witch ‒ Episode 5
I envy the economy with which the anime portrays the textures of a dynamic relationship. We glean years of psychological cause-and-effect from short montages with sparse narration.
You and I Are Polar Opposites ‒ Episode 4
If there's such a thing as an episode that's running almost entirely on vibes, then this week's installment would certainly fit the bill.
Wash It All Away ‒ Episode 5
While the opening act is decent enough, the latter half of this episode feels like some of its potential is washed away.
Golden Kamuy Final Season ‒ Episode 54
