In this episode of After Hours Arc, join me in starting our Summer recaps off right! BLACK TORCH is here and I think it was a fantastic first episode!

I walk us through the season premiere, giving my takes and reactions from my manga-free POV. Going into this anime blind the only things I knew was it was about a teenager Shinobi, who could talk to animals and that it was like a supernatural thriller.

I share my excitement about our main characters Jiro and our new but questionable feline friend Rago who’s not what I was expecting at all.

From an intense battle with a Mononoke to getting ambushed by the Bureau of Espionage and all the amazing and artistic animation that literally exceeding any expectations I could have had.

Here is the YouTube reaction if you want the visual element I’ve added
