MARRIAGETOXIN ‒ SEASON FINALE
Marriagetoxin might not be the strongest show of either of its genres this season, but Gero's quest for a bride offered enough good time that I'm up for seeing more of any new bachelorettes or assassins he'll meet along the way.
MAO ‒ Episode 13
I’m starting to worry we’re going to have even more slower episodes yet, before we get any kind of update with regards to what happened between the Byoki, Mao, Sana, etc.
Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring ‒ SEASON FINALE
This anime winds up amounting to less than the sum of its already ill-fitting parts.
Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke ‒ Episode 12
Rosemyne is rocking her cozy little red-and-green holiday ensemble while I'm sweating buckets in California's streets in June. My suspension of disbelief can only keep up so hard with my dehydration.
Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 ‒ SEASON FINALE
Overall, this season of Wistoria can perfectly be described as a “mixed bag."

A New Dawn Anime Film Review
There's a sense of invention permeating through A New Dawn's various experiments with visual languages of animation.
― Perhaps there's a certain irony in a story about a fireworks factory mostly keeping away from explosive drama. Yoshitoshi Shinomiya's lowkey feature directorial debut A New Dawn is at the very least visually captivating, comprised of lush and rather hypnotic production design. The st...
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Monolith Soft's ambitious RPG is better than ever on the Switch 2.
― Good news, folks! Xenoblade Chronicles is finally a real video game! It's got 4K graphics and everything!The Xenoblade Chronicles series is one of grand ideas, grand vistas and greater impact.

The Ghost In The Shell (TV Event Preview) Anime Review
So many iconic moments from the manga are replicated intelligently and beautifully here.
― How many different adaptations can one single manga spawn? In the case of Masamune Shirow's 37-year-old Ghost in the Shell, too many TV seasons, movies, and OVAs to count on the fingers of both hands. It's a bona fide phenomenon, with influence beyond the realms of manga and animation. Although every version so...
Interview: Yōhei Kameyama on His Breakout Hit, Milky☆Subway
With millions of views on YouTube and a feature film adaptation, Milky☆Highway is largely the work of a single man: character designer, 3D modeler, animator, and director Yōhei Kameyama.
― With millions of views per episode on YouTube, Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express is one of, if not the, standout short-form anime of 2025—so much so that it got a theatrical run in Japan earlier this year....
Snowball Earth ‒ SEASON FINALE
An anti-climactic final fight that ends before it can even begin makes me wonder why it was even there to begin with.

This Week in Games - A Very 35th Birthday for Sonic The Hedgehog
Happy Birthday, Sonic! My, those are some interesting choices Sega's making for you.
― Welcome back, folks! I had a very fun long weekend, bookended by the wildest movies to pair together. On Friday, I watched the new Masters of the Universe, which was a total blast and put a big smile on my face.

Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE ‒ SEASON FINALE
We’ve ended at the point the series was always heading towards: Senku’s triumph over the Stone World.
The Worst Anime of Spring 2026
An engaging story is marred by distractingly lackluster animation. A gorgeously animated series is hindered by a trite or nonsensical story. Maybe the characters are wholly unlikable, yet there are five seasons chronicling whether they'll get together.
― What makes an anime 'bad'? The answer to that question will differ for everyone. An engaging story is marred by distractingly lackluster animation....
The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King ‒ SEASON FINALE
Despite a happy conclusion to the romantic plotline, I can’t say that this ends on a positive note.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity Anime Film Review
If this is what’s to come, Bleach might have one of the best final arcs in shonen anime.

MARRIAGETOXIN ‒ Episode 12
While this episode certainly goes above and beyond in dishing out an action packed climax to this arc, it's not exactly the strongest.
Always a Catch! ‒ SEASON FINALE
This is a good example of a series that took what it had and ran with it to good effect.
Thunder 3 Volumes 2-8 Manga Review
Thunder 3 is one of the most insane manga I’ve ever read, and it’s incredible.
― Thunder 3 is one of the most insane manga I've ever read, and it's incredible. It's a bizarre mash-up that I can only describe as “what if Crayon Shin-chan, but Gantz”. If that sounds like a wild combination, then it is. The first volume, which I reviewed for Manga Guide back in Fall 2024, certainly impressed me with its...
The Best Anime of Spring 2026
Anime fans continue to eat well each season, and spring was no exception.
― This spring season ushered in more highly anticipated and visually stunning anime than I had seen since, well, maybe two seasons prior? Anime fans continue to eat well each season, and spring was no exception. Despite early trepidation due to its past project, Zom100, Bug Films' rendition of Kamome Shirahama's beloved Witch ...
MAO ‒ Episode 12
Takahashi’s old pacing habits die hard, even if this episode demonstrates some noticeable improvement.

This remains one of the best anime to come out all year, easily, and a second season cannot possibly come soon enough.
Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Volumes 2-6 Manga Review
Author Jinushi seems to have taken more than a few leaves out of the Rumiko Takahashi book of “one step forward, two steps back” style of storytelling.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm ‒ Episode 12

Answerman - Should Anime Fans go to Annecy?
Is Annecy worth your time as an anime fan? Jerome has the details.

AnnecyOrBust26 asks:
Dear Answerman! I know that you are a regular visitor to the Annecy International Animation Festival. What's it all about?

Snowball Earth ‒ Episode 12

Ghost in the Shell: The Human Algorithm Volumes 1-8 Manga Review
Fujisaku’s work on Stand Alone Complex really shines through, as he absolutely nails the interpersonal banter between the lead characters in a way reminiscent of what made that series so iconic.
― For anyone new to legendary manga creator Masamune Shirow's expansive Ghost in the Shell (GitS) franchise, The Human Algorithm (THA) is absolutely not the correct place to start. First, go check out the abs...
Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke ‒ Episode 11
It's funny to see some good old "character introducing isekai people to new-world concepts" shenanigans as Rosemyne blows people's minds with the principles of leverage.
Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring ‒ Episode 13
It shouldn't be surprising at this point that the best episode of Agents of the Four Seasons in a good while is the one where Sakura and Hinagiku are almost completely sidelined.
Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! ‒ SEASON FINALE
Sometimes Nakamura is this underdog that I want to root for. Other times, I feel like I'm just watching things happen to him.

The Ghost in the Shell Legacy Edition Box Set Manga Review
This is a premium product for those who already know what they’re getting, and it’s absolutely the best way to acquire Ghost in the Shell.
― Does The Ghost in the Shell franchise even need to be introduced? For fans of my generation, after Akira, the 1995 movie adaptation was one of the main gateway drugs into the anime medium. Dark Horse comics brought the manga to English readers during the same pe...
We Are Aliens Anime Movie Review
There’s never been an anime that looks like We Are Aliens, a strange, sad, and stunningly rotoscoped movie.
― I've never seen a movie that looks quite like We Are Aliens. I can compare aspects of the style to other anime to give you an idea, but those different stylistic traits have never come together before the way they do here. Imagine if the Flowers of Evil anime had the time/budget to draw each ...
I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear Season 1-3 Anime Series Review
There’s just enough novelty in Show Me Your Panties While You Give Me That Disgusted Look! to make it feel interesting, and I wouldn’t be shocked if it got a fourth, fifth, or even sixth season.
― Show Me Your Panties While You Give Me That Disgusted Look! or I Want You To Show Me Your Panties With a Disgusted Face Returns, beginning in the third season, is one of those works that's more interested i...

To become what he needs to be, Subaru has to first strip away the self-loathing and doubt. He needs to restart from zero.
Devil May Cry Season 2 Anime Review
This season is far more concerned with exploring its trio of main characters than it is political commentary.
― Beyond the action and adventure of the first season, Devil May Cry was largely an allegory for the war on terror. Refugees were persecuted for no other reason than their place of birth, and in the end, terrorist attacks were used as justification for a foreign invasion. While this aspect of...
MARRIAGETOXIN ‒ Episode 11
At this point. Kimie's increasingly diminishing presence in her own arc is downright criminal.
One Piece (2026-) ‒ Episode 1166
Perhaps my issue is that the Elbaph residents are a little one-note in this episode.
Uncanny Counter Season 1 Live-Action Series Review
For evil spirits and the fighters who counter them, death isn’t the end of the story; it’s just the start of a new chapter.
― As a child, So Mun (Jo Byeong-kyu) lost his parents in a horrible car accident. With a disabled left leg as a reminder, So is now living with his grandparents and is a target of bullying and abuse at school. With his friends, Woong-min (Kim Eun-soo) and Ju-yeon (Lee Ji-won), S...
Silent Hill: Townfall Returns to Frightening First-Person Horror
Silent Hill: Townfall left me with more questions than answers, but in a good way. I'm really intrigued by the game's Scottish setting and cultural background.
― The Silent Hill franchise is going through something of a renaissance right now. With Bloober Team knocking it out of the park with an excellent remake of Silent Hill 2 and NeoBards taking the series back to its Japanese roots with Silent Hi...
MAO ‒ Episodes 10-11
Same, Otoya. Same.
Witch Hat Atelier ‒ Episode 12
We are all our own worst enemies sometimes.
Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke ‒ Episode 10
This is a noticeably lopsided episode with pacing choices I can't help but question, which is also marred by odd technical issues.
My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked Volumes 1-7 Manga Review
My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked is a frothy confection of a series, and consuming it a little at a time will help to allow its sweetness to come through.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm ‒ Episode 11
There is an unspoken question looming over this whole episode—one that no one seems to be considering. Is Ken telling the truth?
Hotori: Simply Wishing for Hope Anime Review
It’d take a heart of stone to come out of this not feeling sad, but at times it felt scientifically engineered to do so.
― There are two tropes in anime that never get old: humanoid robots and dying girls. Whether it's Astro Boy or Apocalypse Hotel, there's something innocent about seeing metallic dolls learning what it means to be human. Not even the AI apocalypse could ruin this concept, though som...
Mastering Accents in Witch Hat Atelier with the English Dub Cast
How does the English dub use accents to reflect the story's wide world? The English voices of Qifrey and Agott share their thoughts.
― Kamome Shirahama's Witch Hat Atelier manga is a global story - not just in terms of how popular it is, but also in the universality of its themes and characters. To reflect that, the English dub for the anime gives characters different world accents, using them to emp...
Akane-banashi ‒ Episode 11
Only excellence can cut deep enough to make a lasting impact, and what was once an acceptable performance may no longer be finely honed enough to break through.
Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 ‒ Episodes 8-10
I think the best thing about this string of episodes is that Wistoria is finally putting Will's relationship with Elfaria front and center.

For Agents of the Four Seasons, all of this juvenile trauma pornography is itself the end by which all means are justified.
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun Season 4 ‒ Episode 11
Azz has at least a basic concept of "friendship," but as you can see, his Azzpedia doesn’t have the most…current definitions.
Red River Omnibus 2-5 Manga Review
Red River is a work of epic fiction, shoujo manga style, and it's still worth reading thirty years after its original publication.
― Historical fiction doesn't always owe history fidelity, but Chie Shinohara absolutely gives it more than its due in Red River. Although she fudges history a bit – the inspiration for Yuri was likely the wife of one of Kail's successors, a woman named Puduhepa – and chan...
Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE ‒ Episode 35
This isn’t any old episode of Dr. Stone. This is Dr. Stone… In Spaaaaaace!
Snowball Earth ‒ Episode 11

Dara-san of Reiwa feels like two manga stitched together, not unlike its monstrous central character.
― How should readers approach Dara-san of Reiwa, a story that feels like two manga stitched together, not unlike its monstrous central character? Creator Haruomi Tomotsuka shared at the end of volume one that the story originated as a web manga and was, at least at first, an outlet for his own fetish...
Ramparts of Ice ‒ Episode 11
If this episode feels uncomfortably familiar, you're not alone.
Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! ‒ Episode 12
I have to commend the series for addressing something most other shows in the same genre would never even think of touching.
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 ‒ Episode 10
In a real way, Subaru is actively getting in our way of solving the mystery with his actions and suppositions.
The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King ‒ Episodes 9-10
Is it even an anime series if there isn’t a hot spring episode?

Reform with No Wasted Draws - The Legend of Koizumi Volume 1 Manga Review
When a manga has a two-page disclaimer, you know you're in for a good time.
― When a manga has a two-page disclaimer, you know you're in for a good time. And let me tell you, Reform with No Wasted Draws - The Legend of Koizumi's first volume is a hell of a ride. My initial thought was, “Why bother with using real people?” but after reading this volume, I've come to understand why it was a much more e...

It's easy to miss a true seasonal anime highlight, but you'll regret leaving the beautiful Nippon Sangoku on your "watch later" list.

Dandelion Anime Series Review
Traces of Gintama's heart and hilarity are definitely here, but each episode goes on five minutes too long in service of a tacked-on climax.
― Gintama is one of the most celebrated comedy manga of all time. Hideaki Sorachi smashing aliens into the tail-end of the Sengoku era was every bit as bold as when Akira Toriyama dropped dinosaurs and mechs (and eventually aliens) into Journey to the West. What...

Hands-On Preview: You Can't Play Stranger Than Heaven Like a Yakuza Game
Stranger Than Heaven's combat requires a more methodical approach. You can't just spam a button or two continuously like you could in the brawler-centric Yakuza games.
― Despite not having the title “Yakuza” or “Like a Dragon” in its title, Stranger Than Heaven takes place in the same universe as those games. It's actually a prequel, detailing the origins of the Tojo Clan, which is prominently featur...

Witch Hat Atelier ‒ Episode 11
Scalewolves and brushbuddies are great and all, but I think myrphons might be my favorite creature designs yet – bunny/penguin hybrids? Yes, please!
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Game Review
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a perfect example of the pros and cons of a typical Yoshi game experience.
― Even though most Nintendo games are marketed to people of all ages, I have always found Yoshi games, in particular, to be skewed towards a slightly younger demographic. They're usually much simpler than Mario or Zelda games, for example. While that makes them more accessible, I sometimes feel...
