The creator of My hero Academia wrote the greatest ending of all time. And decided against it. The absolute madman.

7+ years of work to burn out on the greatest cannonball run committed to animation. Redline fires on more cylinders than you have ever seen.

Treasure Planet is known as the most underrated Disney film. What makes this adventure special goes beyond what happened behind the scenes and more the genius that erupts out of the quiet moments.

Burning Effect is an internet manga (manwha?) that we like to say is our "thesis" for this whole thing.

Beautiful action. Fearless writing. Art that leaves you better.

The dead don't need a hitman.

Sometimes Hollywood films are anime too.

Outro Song: Heart to Tell by The Love Language

The original anime adaptation of Naruto is a corrupted heart. It takes a ruthlessly dedicated knucklehead to make it beat.

Don't "just go with it."
