Kaiju No8 Season 2
Despite a frustrating cliffhanger ending, the expansion of the Kaiju No.8 universe is deftly handled by Production I.G. who pull off yet another great season of top-tier shonen.

"The overall experience crumbles under the weight of questionable ludic choices"

Majkol Robuschi is impressed by the ambition of Silent Hill f from Konami but comes away ultimately underwhelmed:

Silent Hill f
In conclusion, Silent Hill f is a profoundly ambitious chapter, yet one ultimately incapable of carrying the weight of the expectations placed upon it.

"The narrative is perfectly paced, the characters engaging and the romance (or lack thereof) deftly handled."

Ross takes a walk on the manwha side with Baroness Goes on Strike from Crossed Hearts publishing:

#manwha #comics #romance #fantasy
Baroness Goes on Strike Vol. 1
The book is beautifully presented, the story lively and characters engaging - the time-travel mechanic may be a trope, but it's executed with verve and humour. Recommended for frustrated romantics!

"There's a beating heart behind all the ghouls and DanDaDan never forgets it."

DanDaDan S2 on @netflixanime.bsky.social surpasses even the first, full of youthful energy and downright insanity. It'll be remembered well beyond its time.

This is one of those rare "moment in time" anime series that will define a generation, much like Urusuei Yatsura, Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion. Yes, it's that good.
