DIGIMON BEATBREAK – Episode 2
www.anime-evo.net/2025/10/12/d...

A solid second episode that nicely introduced where things are going to go in the short term. And again, I like the fact that we've got some solid stakes in this early going. There's direction for Tom...

Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! - 01 [First Look] - Anime Evo

This could easily be the cutest show of the whole season. Alma is adorable and if something terrible happened to her I would unleash such rage as a result! Thankfully that's not happening in a show li...

Boku no Hero Academia S8 - 01 [First Look] - Anime Evo

This episode was somewhat a reminder of how good My Hero Academia was in the past. Just an incredibly focused episode with beautiful visuals and a strong story to tell. The underdog battle of All Migh...

Let This Grieving Soul Retire S2 - 01 [First Look] - Anime Evo

I welcome back this absurd series. It certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's just the right kind of absurd for me. They chose a good means of pulling us back into the story and re-introduc...

Spy x Family - 38 [First Look] - Anime Evo

The crazy family is back for more! This was a nice way to ease back into the series with a good deal of focus on the supporting cast. You can tell that the next big story they wanted to focus on was t...

Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota - 01 [First Look] - Anime Evo

There will admittedly not be much for me to say about this one. Just a cute little romcom between a guy that is overly expressive and a girl that isn't expressive at all. It's basically right there in...

Digimon is back! It was already looking good with the release of the Time Stranger game, but Beatbreak absolutely landed its first episode too! Admittedly any show can stumble after the first episode,...

Secrets of the Silent Witch - 13 [Final] - Anime Evo

Beautiful. It's how I would sum up this show overall. The whole journey with Silent Witch has been an excellent one. This show brought it from the start with great visuals, music, and a cast that was ...

May I Ask for One Final Thing? - 01-02 [First Look] - Anime Evo

Very solid start. I can see why I saw a recommendation for this show. Certainly in an era of Earth girls reincarnating into villainesses it is nice to have a pure fantasy show that just lets the lead ...

Part of me can't believe that all these shows are coming to an end.

Going to miss quite a few series and Silent Witch is one of them.

Honestly I think Gorilla God was a decent show. A fun, fantasy otome series.

And thanks. I felt a bit on the fence talking about a series I’m not a big fan of. But, honestly it was good and I like being able to talk about a currently airing movie.

Also, how did fall sneak up on me!?
