Film Review: Yellowbeard

Sometimes a comedy film is well conceived, but ill executed. Thus is the case with Yellowbeard, a film that almost works, but keeps finding ways to not stick the landing.

Anime Review: Chained Soldier Season 2

Not a lot of the heavier fanservice shows tend to get second seasons. Chained Soldier is a bit of an exception, with its combination of action and fanservice, rather than putting its focus on the fanservice itself. This makes for an interesting position for the show’s second season.

Anime Review: Oshi No Ko Season 3

The second season of Oshi No Ko got into what the progress of creating a 2.5D play is, Aqua feeling like he could move on from his revenge plan, and Ruby started a revenge plan of her own after finding Sensei (Aqua’s old body) dead body hidden in a cave. In Season 3, we get to see how Ruby goes hunting for the man behind Sensei and Ai’s murders, and ultimately, Aqua returns to the road to revenge.

Anime Review: Trigun Stargaze

Trigun Stampede served as a bit of a reboot. It worked to take some elements of the main story and the flashbacks telling the backstory of Vash and Knives (and what happened to Julai) and combine them into a new timeline. Trigun Stargaze picks up where the first season left off, and takes us to our final confrontation with Millions Knives leading up to the arrival of the rescue fleet.

Anime Review: Fate/Strange Fake

Fate/Strange Fake is the latest side story in the Fate franchise, adapted from a series of novels from Ryogo Narita, the creator of Baccano. Is it a good jumping on point for newcomers? Not in the slightest. Is it a fun ride? Absolutely.
