The Rising of the Shield Hero Novel 11
novel
The Rising of the Shield Hero's eleventh volume does still have its issues, but that is largely eclipsed by the progression of the plot and hints of what's to come.

Answerman - How Do TV Ratings Apply To Anime?

How do TV ratings work in Japan? Are they just using the Nielsen system like the US, and how much do ratings really impact late night TV anime? Justin gets into it.

Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō GNs 1-2
manga
This female-driven spinoff of the Saint Seiya manga requires little prior knowledge as an exciting new adventure begins. Rebecca Silverman has the details.
― Despite the dual facts that the original Saint Seiya manga ended in 1990 and that a direct sequel series (Saint Seiya: Next Dimension) has been running since 2006, Saint Seiya: Saintia Sho can also be termed a direct sequel to the original manga...

Kiss Him, Not Me BD/DVD
anime
This fujoshi-driven romcom tries to roll with its premise in good fun, but its choices may be too short-sighted and mean-spirited to appeal to everyone. Rebecca Silverman gets into it.
