Shabake may have flown under a few radars as it was airing, but it's a solid show that deserves more attention. ― 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

anime

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. Central to the show's charm is the leading lady and audience viewpoint character, Kiyoko Yoshida...

Utawarerumono: ZAN Game Review

Jan 2, 12:00 games

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.

manga

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.
