Chainsaw Man Episode 9 is perfect. We’re treated to Himeno’s death scene again, Makima returns to life, Kobeni reveals she has skills, and Denji barely does anything. Questions arise, bodies are everywhere, and there’s math in this episode. Because Makima requested 30 convicts with the death penalty, or worse, be taken to a temple with … Read more
It’s still cheating, even if you have to train to do it! Spy x Family Episode 22: The Underground Tennis Tournament: The Campbelldon was hilarious. Fiona’s use of Phony for their last name and claiming they’re married for the cover story was predictable. As well as her reactions to anyone disrespecting Loid. But watching the … Read more
It’s been a rough week for My Hero Academia fans as they wondered about the fate of Katsuki Bakugou. At the end of My Hero Academia Season Episode 9, the explosion hero sacrificed himself for Deku, throwing his body in front of one of Shigaraki’s attacks.

Chainsaw Man Episode 8: GUNFIRE will be the first of many “what happened” episodes. It starts with Himeno’s perspective as she carries Denji into her home. And it pulls a perfect tear-out-your-heart moment in the end! Did anyone else watch Akame ga Kill? Remember all of those flashbacks we had in the last couple of … Read more

Last week saw the students of U.A. and the pro heroes locked in an epic battle with The League of Villains. Shigaraki continues to cause problems for Deku, Endeavor, and the others, while Gigantomachia has ambushed several Class 1A and 1B students. The relentless battles have been nothing if not wildly entertaining, and the latest … Read more
I’ve been dreading this moment ever since I read the Chainsaw Man manga. Denji may be stupid, but he didn’t deserve his first kiss to be like this! And, of course, it had to be right in front of everyone he works with. The poor guy can’t catch a break, but at least he doesn’t … Read more
“Humans are organisms that lie” is probably the best, condensed description of Welcome to the N.H.K., which was uttered by the TV anime’s main character, hikikomori Tatsuhiro Satou himself. The Welcome to the N.H.K. (N・H・Kにようこそ!, N.H.K. ni Youkoso) anime series premiered sixteen long years ago (2006). Nevertheless, it hasn’t lost any of its original appeal … Read more
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories is the perfect series to watch if you plan to create videos online or in real life. The art style changes between seasons, and sometimes in the same season, some ghosts/monsters are beyond creepy, and each episode is about four minutes long. But there’s also little plot to connect the seasons … Read more
Raven of the Inner Palace (後宮の烏, Koukyuu no Karasu) is one of the rare titles I was looking forward to seeing adapted into an anime series.
