The Holy Grail of Eris Ep. 8 Review
Episode 8 of The Holy Grail of Eris peels back a layer of the courtly intrigue at the series’ heart and reveals just how many lives were collateral damage in a decades-long scheme to place a puppet on the Faris throne. This installment reframes Scarlett Castiel not as a villain or mere plot device but […]
Tamon’s B-Side Episode 9 Review
Episode 9 of Tamon’s B-Side deepens the quiet, character-driven comedy into surprisingly tender territory. Between glimpses of high school life, jealousy-fueled misunderstandings, and small but meaningful growth for the F/ACE members, this installment balances lighthearted fan-service with honest emotional beats.

Champignon Witch Ep. 9 Review
Champignon Witch’s ninth episode deepens the series’ examination of folklore, prejudice, and moral ambiguity. What begins as a simple errand for young Lize turns into a sobering lesson about how the world treats those marked by “taint.” Through a haunting children’s rhyme, a poisoned animal, and the fairies’ cold moral code, the episode confronts viewers […]

Jigoku Sensei Nube Ep. 21 Review
Episode 21 of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube shifts the focus away from Yukime’s frosty charm and into the more relatable, human corner of the cast: Miss Ritsuko.

While the monster-of-the-week, Shokera, […]

Sakuna: Episodes 14–15 Review
Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin surprised many fans by returning with a two-part special that shifts the spotlight off its titular goddess and onto her friend Kokorowa. Light on grand stakes but rich in atmosphere, the special leans into the laid-back, educational charm of the original game adaptation—especially when it comes to rice cultivation. This […]
The Darwin Incident Episode 8 Review
This episode of The Darwin Incident continues to lean into the series’ uneasy mixture of social drama and speculative thriller — turning the spotlight away from brute spectacle toward the politics and ethics that orbit Charlie, the talking humanzee. Episode 8 stages new confrontations, teases a “Lucy Kidnapping” arc, and keeps asking who gets to […]
