― If you've been watching anime and reading manga for a while, you're probably familiar with the basic ayakashi, or spirits and supernatural beings, that crop up frequently. The kappa, the kitsune, the tanuki, the nopperabo…it'd be easy to assume that these and a few others make up the bulk...

Yano-kun's Ordinary Days Anime Series Review
Every episode is a gift for anxious anime girl reaction face screenshot lovers.
― This delightfully wholesome high school romcom flew under the radar for most anime viewers during the Fall 2025 anime season, and that's a huge shame, as Yano-kun's Ordinary Days is one of the sweetest examples of its genre.

Utawarerumono: ZAN Game Review
Utawarerumono Zan trades out the series trademark strategy with visceral action—does it stick the landing, though?
― While the Utawarerumono series is best known for its strategic leanings, Utawarerumono Zan took the series into a more action-oriented angle when it released in 2018. After six years, Shiravune has brought it back to PC in America. While it has a few flaws in its formula, it's a nevert...

For a series that could be boiled down to super chickens taking down demons that threatened humanity, the artwork goes so much harder than expected.
― It took me a while to really figure out how I could articulate what makes Rooster Fighter so appealing. At first, I thought it was just the absurdity of its premise because it's a simple yet effective setup for what I thought was going to be a more com...
