Miru: Paths To My Future Anime Series Review
Mostly, MIRU is a fairly disposable anthology, yet it is far better than I expected a corporate advertisement to be.
― Although initially released in Japan in April 2025, this five-episode sci-fi anthology oddity didn't show up to stream worldwide until late September. It allegedly appeared slightly earlier on Samsung's proprietary streaming platform in the US, but as probably only five people watche...

Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table Volume 1 Light Novel Review
It’s easy to see why this won the Excellence Award at the 18th MF Bunko J Light Novel Newcomer Awards in 2022, and why it’s getting an anime in 2026.
