Anime Review: Call of the Night Season 2
While the first season of Call of the Night was a series that was heavy on vibes and less on horror, the second season of the series does delve a little more into Vampire society – and also is something that really gets that while our little low-fi Camarillia is generally very chill, vampires are monsters – and even if the group that Ko is around doesn’t act like monsters, other Vampires can be monstrous.

My Dress-Up Darling was one of the first shows we did for Anime Explorations, and it was a show we generally really enjoyed. Yes, it was a somewhat horny-on-main romantic comedy anime, but it was tonally light, and didn’t feel leering in the way that other fanservicey series did, combined with a romance between Gojo and Marin that was very sweet, so I’ve been looking forward to a second season, and was quite pleased when we finally got one this year. I already had some high expectations, but this season blew those right out of the water.

Why I’m Dropping Sakamoto Diaries
The first season of Sakamoto Diaries was a fun season, with some interesting characters and some fun writing and fight scenes. the concept of “What if John Wick’s wife didn’t die, and he retired to run a combini?” worked for me. However, the second season had a really strong fall off for me, and I dropped it before the season finished, so I should probably talk about why.

Read moreFilm Review: A Taxing Woman
When it comes to the Procedural genre of film, generally these works tend to put their focus on law enforcement – cops and robbers, literally. However, the cops the generally don’t cover are ones who deel with what are considered more “boring” crimes – white collar financial crimes. Smuggling is sexy, robbers are sexy, gangsters are sexy.
