One Piece ‒ Episode 1149
If you’re enjoying all that, then boy howdy are you served well by this week’s One Piece - and if you were hoping for something else for a change, then you’re plum outta luck, partner.
GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class ‒ Episode 6
This episode is a good example of how lovable Gintama's cast of goofballs can be when they aren't busy being despicable.
My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's ‒ Episode 6
If the Human King is evil, the demons must be, if not good, then at least misunderstood, right?
My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON ‒ Episode 165
Deku has inadvertently allowed Nana to directly confront the sins of her past.
Isekai Quartet 3 ‒ Episode 5
Like many of the extended jokes in Isekai Quartet, the gags centered around Motoyasu's way of viewing women go beyond the surface layer and, in the process, get deeper into what’s going on with the character.
Gachiakuta ‒ Episode 18
It's Gachiakuta's capacity to surprise by elevating otherwise standard story beats and characters that have made it such a delight this season.
The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess ‒ Episode 9
Claude has done a lot of calming down since he embraced fatherhood, but that might make him even more of a threat to potential partners.
Ranma ½ ‒ Episode 18
A violation is a violation is a violation, and we're supposed to be chuckling at teenage girls being terrorized by an old man.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity ‒ Episode 11
It’s not just a cake from Plain, it’s a manifestation of her relationship with Rintaro thus far.
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! ‒ Episode 6
It’s hard to make food look good when, well, the show itself doesn’t really look that good in general.
Touring After the Apocalypse ‒ Episode 6
The girls’ face-off against a huge army of very aggressive, very hungry rats is tense and unsettling.
Dusk Beyond the End of the World ‒ Episode 6
It’s as though Dusk thinks that if it doesn’t spoonfeed us the idea that OWEL is engaging in censorship, the audience won’t pick up on it.
Mechanical Marie ‒ Episode 6
The only thing that thwarts them is that, predictably, none of them has ever undressed a girl before.
One Punch Man Season 3 ‒ Episode 5
While not amazing, at least the show is getting creative in its visuals now and, as a result, feels like much less of a slog.
DIGIMON BEATBREAK ‒ Episode 6
This likely won't be the last detour Beatbreak makes before returning to anything major, so I can only hope it keeps finding ways to make them interesting.
This Monster Wants to Eat Me ‒ Episodes 5-6
If there's one main takeaway from these two episodes, it's that Miko has a lot going on beneath her deceptively ditzy exterior.
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider ‒ Episode 6
Despite the literal monster in front of him, Tojima still believes he can win—that never backing down is instrumental to being the first Kamen Rider.
To Your Eternity Season 3 ‒ Episode 6
Mizuha is more than happy to teach Fushi everything she knows about love, as it turns out, and I'm sure that there is absolutely nothing about this plan that could go wrong.
Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Season 2 ‒ Episode 18
Uma Musume has so often been a series about sheer vibes and the spirit of never giving up winning races that it's wild, and refreshing, to see Obey Your Master subvert that specifically to win her own way.
Gnosia ‒ Episode 5
Every game needs a good tutorial, but after five straight weeks of reading the rules, I'm ready to get to work with Yuri and actually play.
May I Ask for One Final Thing? ‒ Episode 7
For all of the limitless potential of the setting, the show still can't think of anything more creative to do with this Diana and Leonardo plot than the same hot springs and summer festival tropes that we've seen a hundred-thousand times before
Spy×Family Season 3 ‒ Episode 43
I love that the meanest thing Anya can imagine is Damian with an open mouth, perpetually runny nose, and weird, wide eyes.
SANDA ‒ Episode 6
Episode 6 of Sanda is not perfect, but it is deeply personal and I’d argue that makes it better than perfect.
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess ‒ Episode 5
Teenaged Konoha Satou wrote Ginoford Dandelion to be her ideal boyfriend, and now she’s watching him fall in love with someone else.
With You, Our Love Will Make it Through ‒ Episode 4
I have to admit, there was a part of me that was genuinely wondering if Mari and Tsunagu were going to have sex right there in the classroom in the middle of the day.
A Star Brighter Than the Sun ‒ Episode 6
Knowing that she likes someone – and that he encouraged her to do something about – has lit a fire under him.
Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze Anime Series Review
This isn't just a love story, it's also one about family, insecurity, imposter syndrome, and the overall pressures of living up to the expectations forced on you by others.
― Are you looking for an anime about sisterhood to fill the empty hole in your heart that The Quintessential Quintuplets left? Then I might have an anime for you! I'm kidding…mostly, but the idea of a harem show specifically revol...
Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation ‒ Episode 2
Night Raven College is exactly like an Ivy League school because it's covered with statues of revered historical figures that, under the slightest bit of scrutiny, are actually awful.
Labyrinth Anime Film Review
At the end of the screening of Macross' Shoji Kawamori's latest film, with my head in my hands, I sighed to myself, “How in hell’s name am I supposed to review this?"
― Within the first few minutes of director Shoji Kawamori's Labyrinth, protagonist Shiori laments that “without smartphones, humanity would be doomed”. From the events that later transpire, I suspect Kawamori's opinion is quite the oppo...
This Week in Anime - The Long, Dark Night of Long-Running Series
With One Piece about to stop continuous broadcasting, Chris and Coop talk about how logistics have changed.

A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace ‒ Episode 5
Isn't it great when the solution to a problem just magically appears, drunk at your doorstep?
Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 ‒ Episode 2
Honestly, I have fewer issues with the droid-transforming power armor than I do with Crane wearing short sleeves in the snow.
Mechanical Marie ‒ Episode 5
Marie 2’s cottoned onto how dim Arthur is, lying to him with gay abandon about Marie’s fake robot nature.
Touring After the Apocalypse ‒ Episode 5
What caused this? A weapon of mass destruction? A collision of heavenly bodies? A clumsy Super Saiyan?
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 ‒ Episode 5
The big dungeon crawl continues, and despite a few shortcomings, I left this episode feeling like I was eatin’ good.
My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's ‒ Episode 5
Once Akira wakes up, he's likely to be on the warpath—and that's not even considering what Amelia may be willing to do to get her revenge.
I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince Season 2 Anime Review
I doubt this season of 7th Prince is going to convert people who didn’t care for the first.
― On paper, I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability (henceforth 7th Prince) doesn't seem like the type of show that would benefit from having any given season focused on one singular story arc, as opposed to a small handful of shorter ones that last 1–4 episodes...
My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON ‒ Episode 164
Everybody else sees a monster, but Deku cannot shake the glimpse of the small, crying child.
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider ‒ Episode 5
This is the most quintessential episode of Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider so far. It is a perfect encapsulation of the show, both in its action and humor.
This Week in Anime - Anime Movies Chainsawing Hollywood Theaters
Lucas and Coop talk Chainsaw Man with the popularity of the Reze Arc film's release.

GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class ‒ Episode 5
This has all the energy I normally expect from Gintama's sense of humor, and while I don't know that this makes up for how weak last week's episode was, it feels like a step in the right direction.
Isekai Quartet 3 ‒ Episode 4
Once the pasta zombie apocalypse begins, it's fun to see how our heroes deal with the situation without overreacting.
Ranma ½ ‒ Episode 17
It’s a perfect distillation of everything that makes the show fun.
The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess ‒ Episode 8
At long last we meet, Jennette. But who, or what, are you?
Dusk Beyond the End of the World ‒ Episode 5
It took 50 (well, 200) years, but at long last, we’ve been given a crumb of information. Delicious, delicious context.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity ‒ Episode 10
As poorly timed as Usami’s question is, it’s really just his way of showing Rintaro that he cares.
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! ‒ Episode 5
The more we learn about monster meat, the more it looks like eating it is an objectively bad idea.
Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray Season 2 ‒ Episode 17
Coming back this week really feels like Cygames Pictures are using all the colorful new characters in this big race as a reason to cut loose with the show.
DIGIMON BEATBREAK ‒ Episode 5
There are numerous ways this could end up feeling like an unnecessary detour, but the writing has remained solid enough that I'm willing to trust the payoff will be worth it.
One Punch Man Season 3 ‒ Episode 4
Despite branded or larger anime-centric social media accounts desperately trying to claim otherwise, One Punch Man season three has no hype, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
Gachiakuta ‒ Episode 17
Hyo is just really, really gifted at pretend-killing people with a wooden knife, and that is enough to completely shatter Zanka's ego.
One Piece ‒ Episode 1148
The Straw Hats teaming up to get things done is always a delight, even if this is a bit of a losing battle for them.
Gnosia ‒ Episode 4
We're getting just enough to keep the world-building from going stale while the story is working through what is essentially the game's tutorial phase
Isekai Quartet The Movie: Another World Anime Film Review
Isekai Quartet The Movie: Another World is clearly made by a group of people who have an insanely in-depth knowledge of all the series they're combining.
― When it comes down to it, the main selling point of Isekai Quartet as a whole is watching characters from across entirely different series interact—and often in comical ways. Does this film do this as well as the TV series? The answer is a simple ...
To Your Eternity Season 3 ‒ Episode 5
As much as I enjoy the simple pleasures of riffing on genre cliches, I'm much more interested in how To Your Eternity will (hopefully) subvert the usual beats of the old 'school days' routine that Fushi is now stuck in.
Spy×Family Season 3 ‒ Episode 42
What is “normal,” and how do we learn to be that way? In the pseudo-1960s of Totally-Not-Germany, “normal” is very closely linked to social norms, which Yor is very aware that she’s not necessarily following.
SANDA ‒ Episode 5
Episode five of Sanda combines some of the most unhinged bullshit I’ve ever seen with deeply affecting explorations of identity and sexuality to a tremendous effect.
May I Ask for One Final Thing? ‒ Episode 6
Diana is right about one thing, for sure. We all should be praying to our dear Saint Scarlet.
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess ‒ Episode 4
As much as I delight in the adolescent sublimations of everything that frustrates her in her life, I am getting a bit tired of Iana’s sense of guilt over it.
The Obsessed Anime Film Review
While not without its issues, The Obsessed is a film well worth watching. It's full of fun, silly, moments and yet manages to delve into true human tragedy as well.
― Giuseppe is a man existing in his own little world where his current obsession overrides everything else. However, that doesn't mean he is selfish or cruel—it's more like a sickness he has no control over. Moreover, his obsessions often...
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc Interview: Director Tatsuya Yoshihara×Assistant Director Masato Nakazono
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc's director and assistant director share how the blockbuster anime film was born from creative challenges.

A Star Brighter Than the Sun ‒ Episode 5
Sae is flooding her mind with messages about how she and Koki are "just friends" and that’s "totally fine" while convincing absolutely no one – least of all herself.
Your Anime Rankings - Best of Fall 2025, Oct 1-28

You and Idol Precure♪ Episodes 25 - 36 Anime Review
You and Idol Precure♪ is struggling to make its two halves merge in what feels like a relevant way. It's like all of the pieces are there, but they've been assembled incorrectly.
― You and Idol Precure♪ is not what I was hoping for, and it pains me to admit this. It is, as has been mentioned, absolutely possible to merge idols and magical girls – it's really a subgenre in its own right. Likewise, the...
Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation ‒ SEASON PREMIERE
There's one component where this production glaringly skimped on quality, and it isn't the animators' fault.
This Week in Anime - I Can't Believe They Dubbed This (Like This)!
Chris and Lucas explore the weird world of streaming dubs looking for wonderful and terrible surprises.

With You, Our Love Will Make it Through ‒ Episode 3
What's this? A non-spicy episode? I didn't think that was possible!
Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 ‒ SEASON PREMIERE
Building off of season one's The Duel, we once again find ourselves following “Ronin” and his droid, B5-56, in a classic samurai film take on the Star Wars universe.
A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace ‒ Episode 4
This episode definitely took a step back from the comedy and felt like much more of a slow burn.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 ‒ Episode 4
With some no-frills fun and an elegant dungeon crawl, this fourth episode of Campfire Cooking is the best yet.
Laugh, Cry, and Cheer for the Stories in Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 Anime Anthology
In their first-ever overseas interview, directors Seishirō Nagaya and Nobuyuki Takeuchi and producer Ryo Oyama share how they went from page to screen for the wildly creative anime anthology.
― Tatsuki Fujimoto's two-volume anthology collection comes alive in eight separate animated episodes, each told by seven different directors and six animation studios. The adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 de...
Isekai Quartet 3 ‒ Episode 3
Kazuma, Subaru, and Ainz see Cid for exactly who he is—something no one from his world has ever been able to do.
GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class ‒ Episode 4
I hope that this is just a singular case of a weak episode rather than a sign of how the rest of this spinoff could go, but it left me feeling a bit less optimistic about the future of this show
One Piece ‒ Episode 1147
It’s still a good episode in no small part due to the high focus on Nico Robin.
Ranma ½ ‒ Episode 16
This arc marks the first time in the series Ranma ever has to work for something.
The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess ‒ Episode 7
This week, Athanasia learns a very important lesson: do not taunt incredibly powerful four-hundred-year-old wizards.

My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON ‒ Episode 163
The maniacal sociopath who came out of the womb a stone-cold killer left this world crying like a baby.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity ‒ Episode 9
I don’t say this lightly, but Rintaro’s mom is easily a match for Satoru’s mom in Erased.
My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's ‒ Episode 4
How is it that we are only four episodes into this series and I already feel like I’m beating a dead horse?
Dusk Beyond the End of the World ‒ Episode 4
I just can’t find it in myself to care about these characters, and I wish this series would just tell us more about OWEL or otherwise get to the point already.
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! ‒ Episode 4
Aristide has gone from aloof hunter to wifeguy pretty much instantly.
DIGIMON BEATBREAK ‒ Episode 4
What this episode lacks in progression, it more than makes up for in strengthening the relationships of our main cast.
Answerman - Are Subtitles Getting Smaller?
Is it your eyes, your TV, or Crunchyroll's business decisions making this season's subtitles a bit of a mess? Answerman digs in.
― A Reader asks: Q: "Is it just my eyes, or are subtitles getting smaller?" No, it's not your eyes. I have often thought the same thing, after my own traumatic experience managing the UK home video campaign of Evangelion 3.33: You (Cannot) Release. Sorry! What? That's not ...
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider ‒ Episode 4
It's almost like Shocker is trying to create heroes to fight against...
One Punch Man Season 3 ‒ Episode 3
Unless you’re the world’s biggest Garou fan, there’s not a lot in this episode, and I’m praying to whatever God ranked monster that will listen that the plot finally kicks off next week.
Gachiakuta ‒ Episode 16
This week's episode of Gachiakuta is a hell of a lot of fun, plain and simple.
Mechanical Marie ‒ Episode 4
Perhaps Zetes senior is just an old pervert, and that’s why he’s left a string of potentially illegitimate children all over the place to scheme against Arthur’s life?
Miru: Paths To My Future Anime Series Review
Mostly, MIRU is a fairly disposable anthology, yet it is far better than I expected a corporate advertisement to be.
― Although initially released in Japan in April 2025, this five-episode sci-fi anthology oddity didn't show up to stream worldwide until late September. It allegedly appeared slightly earlier on Samsung's proprietary streaming platform in the US, but as probably only five people watche...
Touring After the Apocalypse ‒ Episode 4
As far as world-ending catastrophes go, this is pretty damned beautiful.
Spy×Family Season 3 ‒ Episode 41
Does Spy x Family sometimes feel like it focuses on the “family” bits to the exclusion of the “spy” elements? Sure. But as these last three episodes have shown, that may be the point.
Gnosia ‒ Episode 3
I think we can all see where the fun of Gnosia's twisted tale is going to come from, provided it can keep these plates spinning with as much entertaining confidence as it has managed thus far.
To Your Eternity Season 3 ‒ Episode 4
Fushi may have learned a lot about humanity and empathy since he first came to this plane all those centuries ago, but he still has a fundamentally inhuman relationship with life and death.
May I Ask for One Final Thing? ‒ Episode 5
The Terenezza twist is my favorite development of this story so far, easily.
SANDA ‒ Episode 4
Episode four of Sanda touches on what it means to become an adult physically, sexually, and socially; along with the baggage related to each element in a way that’s both inspired and honest.
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess ‒ SEASON PREMIERE
Cringe. Cringe is what makes it special.
