Dr. STONE: Science Future Eps. 25–27 Review

Dr. Stone: Science Future rockets into its third cour with episodes 25–27, taking everything fans love about the series — frenetic scientific problem-solving, infectious enthusiasm for invention, and a delightfully eccentric cast — and amplifying it to orbit-ready levels. This stretch of episodes trades the slow-burn rebuilding of previous seasons for full-throttle aerospace ambition: Senku […]

Always a Catch! Episodes 1–3 — Anime Review

Always a Catch! subverts expectations by borrowing the trappings of a villainess-style fantasy only to steer them into an upbeat romantic comedy centered on an irrepressible heroine. Rather than leaning on revenge or scheming, the series focuses on warmth, earnestness, and the messy business of relationships — all wrapped in a bright, colorful package. Below […]

Marriage Toxin Ep. 1-2 Review

MARRIAGETOXIN is one of the season’s most audacious genre mash-ups: a romantic comedy built around an assassin-specialist clan and a world of poison, wrapped in high-energy shonen action and visual comedy. The anime adaptation jumps off the page with its premise—an awkward poison specialist who decides to find a bride not for love, but to […]

Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! Episodes 1-4 Review

Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! arrives as a refreshing, earnest romantic comedy that foregrounds a gay high schooler’s longing for connection rather than treating queerness as a punchline. The first four episodes are a mix of warm cartoony gags, strong voice work, and slow-burn relationship building — a show that may not sprint toward romance but […]

Witch Hat Atelier Episodes 1-3 Review

Witch Hat Atelier’s opening episodes cast a spell that’s part fairy tale, part moral fable. From the moment young Coco accidentally petrifies her mother, the series poses urgent questions about who gets access to power and why rules exist to keep it gated.

Rooster Fighter Episode 5 Review

Rooster Fighter’s fifth episode leans into quiet character work and unexpected tenderness, trading some of the series’ usual bombast for contemplative moments and heartfelt comedy. After four episodes of frenetic monster battles and Keiji’s unfiltered anger, this installment offers breathing room: internet fame and fowl hijinks segue into a surprisingly moving encounter with a demon […]

Medalist S2 Episode 8 Review

Medalist Season 2’s episode 8 takes viewers on an unexpected detour: a road-trip training episode that aims to rebuild Inori’s jump technique after a self-inflicted slump. While it delivers one standout, emotionally resonant moment between Inori and Tsukasa, the episode struggles with pacing and narrative justification. Below I break down what works, what feels unnecessary, […]
