Liko, Roy, and Dot leave Paldea behind after completing their Terastallization trials, rejoining the Rising Volt Tacklers as they push deeper into the hunt for Lucius’s remaining legendary Pokémon — from Kleavor to the mysterious Black Rayquaza — and get closer to uncovering the true nature of Laqua. This batch of episodes oscillates between meaningful […]

“Akaza Returns” (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle – Part 1) lands as an ambitious entry in the franchise’s cinematic saga: visually breathtaking, musically stirring, and emotionally charged — yet weighed down by structural choices that make the experience feel longer and more fragmented than necessary. For fans invested in character […]

Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray takes a familiar franchise favorite and gives her the spotlight she deserves. This spin-off centers on Oguri Cap, the big-eating, low-running horse girl whose origin story is both heartfelt and absurdly entertaining. Far from a mere sidequel, Cinderella Gray reshapes the Uma Musume formula with a dustier aesthetic, sharper sports focus, […]

Maebashi Witches is a surprising modern spin on the classic magical girl formula — loud, messy, fashion-forward, and quietly earnest. What begins as a clumsy premiere quickly grows into a thoughtful series that uses music, style, and small acts of care to address real adolescent anxieties. If you give it a few episodes to find […]

Lupin the IIIrd: The Immortal Bloodline (Lupin the IIIrd The Movie: Fujimi no Ketsuzoku) arrives as a decisive chapter in the Lupin the IIIrd sub-series, acting as the narrative payoff for over a decade of OVAs and storytelling threads.

It keeps many of the series’ charming hallmarks—colorful transformations, catchy music, and strong emotional beats—yet several story and pacing choices in episodes 13–24 leave the season feeling uneven. Still, there […]

After a cliffhanger ending that should have sparked a full-scale revolt, BULLET/BULLET’s second half opens with Gear and his friends imprisoned and demoralized. What follows is a tighter, more reflective set of episodes that balance kinetic action with sharp social commentary — a blend of car-fu spectacle and thoughtful worldbuilding that asks why people accept […]

Fermat Kitchen (Fermat no Ryōri) enters the crowded field of culinary anime with a distinctive hook: mathematics as a way to understand and elevate cooking. The first five episodes introduce Gaku Kitada, a prodigious but disillusioned student, and Kai Asakura, an eccentric mentor who sees culinary potential hidden behind Gaku’s numerical brilliance. This review breaks […]

Yes! Precure 5’s second half deepens the emotional stakes while sharpening the series’ central theme: strength through teamwork. As the Cures press their fight against Nightmare toward its climax, the looming separation of Coco, Natts, and Milk from the human world creates a bittersweet undertone that amplifies every victory and setback. This stretch of episodes […]
