Baki The Grappler Volume 7-8 Manga Review

Mar 9, 12:00 manga
When beating the crap out of other people just isn’t enough, Baki turns to a giant ape for help getting stronger. ― Narrator Disclaimer: Baki The Grappler is not intended to illustrate martial arts in any meaningfully realistic way. Check with your doctor before continuing physical activity with broken bones and ruptured limbs. Baki The Grappler is a primer in unrealistic bloodsports. It's both amazi...

Answerman - Do Japanese School Gangs Really Exist?

Mar 9, 10:00
5 comments
anime
From Akira to Tokyo Revengers, Jerome discusses how much is real and how much is a fictional trope. ― Alex asks: "I've seen a lot of anime and manga that portray large groups of kids from middle school to high school in gangs that are affiliated with a particular school. Do such gangs exist, and how much impact do they have on society?" I love this question. Thank you for sending it in. You're not a...

This is the perfect moment to examine how Yūji Kaku built his dark fantasy on the bones of real Edo-period history. ― With Season 2 of Hell's Paradise (Jigokuraku) now ongoing as of January 2026, this is the perfect moment to examine how Yuji Kaku built his dark fantasy on the bones of real Edo-period history. The Yamada Asaemon were real, and the irezumi kei was an actual criminal punishment—the ser...

The Water Magician Anime Series Review

Mar 8, 12:00
8 comments
anime
All in all, The Water Magician is proof that subverting clichés just for the sake of it does not make an entertaining story. ― *Note: This review contains major spoilers for The Water Magician. As someone who has seen more isekai anime than they can count, watching The Water Magician is a uniquely baffling experience. At its most basic, it's built on the premise of an isekai genre-savvy protagonist, ...

BEASTARS Volumes 5-22 Manga Review

Mar 7, 12:00
4 comments
manga
This is not a series that will make it clear everything will be all right, as it doesn't offer solutions to its problems, even by the very end. ― BEASTARS is such a fascinating series on paper, with themes and setups that are beginning to seem more commonplace. Using anthropomorphic, furry characters as an allegory for real-world issues can have mixed results, especially when the separation between s...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 7—Steel Ball Run Volumes 1-5 Manga Review

Mar 6, 12:00
1 comment
manga
Steel Ball Run is easily Jojo’s most bizarre adventure yet. ― Even by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (JJBA) standards—which, to be clear, is an absurdly high bar to clear—Steel Ball Run (SBR) is absolutely, positively, aggressively, relentlessly, and lovably capital-W Weird. As vast as it is, the world of manga simply doesn't get wilder than this. Dare I say, SBR is easily Jojo's most bizarre adventure yet...
