Imagine for a second, a sequel that redeems the original, that's The Idolm@ster: Shiny Colors Season 2. An actual well done ending for a change.

To finish a series I started last year, this week I will be discussing Love Live Superstar Season 3. Not the grand finale I expected for a mainline entry of the franchise.

This time, let's talk about a manga that carries with it a whole lot of style, aesthetic and remarkable storytelling, Black Lagoon. An ode to the 90's action movies and setting.

This week, I will talk about a manga that resonated with me in a personal leves, Helpful Fox Senko-san. The working/single/depressed person dream.

For this week, I will talk about something that has been rent free in my head for some time, Suicide Squad Isekai. A nightmare for my SEO and a pretty mid anime even though the studio is great and cast is awesome

Hello everyone! Happy new year! To start off with a bang I wanted to talk about what might as well be the top anime of the last few years if not the decade, Sousou no Frieren: Beyond journey's end. An absolute masterpiece in storytelling and character development. I hope you enjoy it!

A promising start, a successful anime adaptation and a really controversial ending. This week we will talk about Oshi no Ko. The darling series of the last two years that recently finished serialization with one of the endings of all time. I have a strong feeling my opinion does not conform to the general discourse around the ending and as such I would like to talk about it.
