Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V ‒ Episode 5
Freya's tried playing nice. It didn't work.
Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms ‒ Episode 5
By all rights, this should have been Aki's episode, but it's becoming clear Mecha-Ude can't seem to focus on a single plot-line for longer than a few choppily-edited scenes.
I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History ‒ Episode 5
At the center of this episode is the tea party—the titular “vilainess test.” It is a rather excellent scene because it does so many things at once.
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 3 ‒ Episode 55
This week's Re:Zero is our big introduction to the Archbishop of Lust, Capella Emerada Lugunica.
DAN DA DAN ‒ Episode 5
We've got another five-star banger of an episode on our hands. Go figure that Science SARU would be able to take an already excellent manga and make everything great about it even better.
This Week in Games - Stuck On A Whole Different Planet
Game preservation takes a hit while several old games get a new lease on life, offline and with a new port!
― Welcome back, folks! I have a bit of a "behind the scenes" bit for you guys from last week's column; while writing about Poncle (the creator of Vampire Survivors), I had apparently flubbed up the spelling at one point. So until my editor caught it, I had written: "Poncleoncle doing what Konam...
SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky Game Review
If you enjoy a slow-burn visual novel, this is going to be right up your alley.
― The Memories Off series of visual novels first debuted in 1999, and it's only now in 2024 that we're finally getting one of them in English. In fact, SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky is the first new entry in the franchise since 2015, and while one or two characters from the earlier games pop in as bit players, this i...
Acro Trip ‒ Episode 6
We may not have gotten the full evolution of General Dante's power that we so richly deserve, but we got some neat little worldbuilding nuggets to chew on, and we got to laugh at all of the deranged noises that Chrome's voice actor got to make in the recording booth.
Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii ‒ Episode 4
The eroticism of Yakuza Fiancé lies in the constant jockeying for power between Yoshino and Kirishima as the two fight to gain an upper hand over the other.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 - The Conflict ‒ Episode 30
Is this one of the top 10 anime betrayals?
You are Ms. Servant ‒ Episode 4
Of all the anime Ms. Servant could’ve reminded me of, I don’t know if I would’ve readily guessed Ben-To. But that’s what happened this week, and I’m here for it.
Natsume's Book of Friends Season 7 ‒ Episode 4
This week, Natsume's Book of Friends gives us an episode as self-contained as a snow globe, complete with a confetti of white flakes.
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth ‒ Episode 5
In Rafal's notes, Gras finds what he couldn't find in either religion or the heavens: something on this world that's worth living for.
Your Anime Rankings - Best of Fall 2024, Oct 1-21

Answerman - The Return of Answerman (And Why Companies Bother to Take Down Piracy Websites)
Anime industry veteran Jerome Mazandarani takes up the Answerman mantle to answer your burning questions!
― Hello! I'm Jerome, and I'm honored to be your new Answerman correspondent. I started my anime career 20 years ago with Manga Entertainment, one of the OG anime labels operating in the West. I've distributed thousands of hours of anime and even had a hand in making a couple, too. I know the bus...

Ranma ½ ‒ Episode 4
Notice how he uses his umbrella to block the spray of water? Hmmm…
My Sister Took My Fiance and Now I'm Being Courted by a Beastly Prince Volumes 1 & 2 Manga Review
My Sister Took My Fiancé and Now I'm Being Courted by a Beastly Prince is off to a solid start. It may not be wholly innovative, but Cordelia is a good heroine and nobody's fool, except when it comes to herself, and she's wholly cognizant of that.
― Life is not easy for Cordelia. The daughter of a noble in the kingdom of Liobern, Cordelia isn't so much unremarkable as she is less outwardly beautiful ...
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II ‒ Episode 4
I can't help but feel that the twist of this episode undercuts the entire season so far and makes it a much less impactful retread of what came before.
Voice Actors Masakazu Morita and Noriaki Sugiyama Celebrate 20 Years of BLEACH
The voices of Ichigo and Uryu reminisce about their decades of memories among a cast that "improves together while supporting one another."
― JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles with VIZ Media hosted a panel with Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki) and Noriaki Sugiyama (Uryu Ishida) of BLEACH. In promoting the third season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 - The Conflict, the two were invited for a Q&A and...
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest ‒ Episode 16
And so, the day is saved, thanks to…the D-listers.
Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town Game Review
More anime should have cozy tie-in games. We need more un-serious, Animal Crossing-esque fun. And that’s where Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town comes into the picture.
― More anime should have cozy tie-in games. If we could convert gachas and musou games into an energy source, they could single-handedly take care of the energy needs of the entire globe for years to come. What we need is more un-ser...
Negative Positive Angler ‒ Episode 4
I've never seen an anime character bluescreen so powerfully and poetically.
365 Days to the Wedding ‒ Episode 4
It's almost time to meet the parents!

This episode is a great-looking, heartening time that embodies the themes of the series and the aesthetic of Magilumiere the in-universe company.
The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians ‒ Episode 4
Kurumi's goal looks like much more than just her dream…or at least like a dream that someone else hopes to hijack for their own reasons.
Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms ‒ Episode 4
An overstuffed episode crammed full of action, unhinged humor, lore dumps, and tragic death, somehow Mecha-Ude remains a ridiculously fun time.
My Journey to Her Manga Review
Unlike a lot of similar narratives, this isn't about the anguish, coming out, or transphobia. That's not to say those things aren't present, but they aren't the point.
― There are so many falsehoods perpetrated about what it means to be transgender, so many scare tactics employed by people who fear those who are different, that it's important to highlight any authentic own-voices narratives that are ...
Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii ‒ Episode 3
What matters is that the muff Kirishima is so happily diving into is not Yoshino's, but a random girl's.
Dragon Ball Daima ‒ Episode 3
Somewhere during the middle of this episode, I came upon a harrowing realization: Dragon Ball Daima is an isekai.
Blue Box ‒ Episode 4
To be honest, I'm still trying to figure out whatever kind of spooky alchemy this show has going on behind the scenes to end up so compelling because this is normally the kind of vibe that I would struggle to stay invested with.
The ANN Aftershow - MILFs are OUT, GILFs are IN!
DAN DA DAN introduces anime's hottest grandma!
― MILFs are OUT, GILFs are IN! Dan Da Dan introduces anime's hottest grandma! The ANN After Show streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter Spaces on Tuesdays at 6pm PT/9pm ET.

DAN DA DAN ‒ Episode 4
This is just one of those infuriatingly perfect episodes of television that is just going to sit there, cruelly mocking my inability to find anything about it to criticize, for the rest of my miserable life.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Volumes 1-3 Manga Review
Author Saka Mikami 's main theme is the exploration of how uninformed judgments of others, especially when fuelled by humanity's innate tribalism, lead to unfair treatment and social ostracization.
― The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignityis one of those heart-warming romance manga where if you're not grinning with delight by the end of the first volume, there's probably something broken in your soul...

The Anime Backlog - Symphogear
After over 10 years, Lynzee tries out Symphogear but like a song played off-key, she can't quite connect with its incongruent elements.
― Hi everyone, how are you enjoying the new anime season? While it's not doing any favors for my ever-growing backlog, I've rounded out my must-watch to about four shows: Dan Da Dan, Orb, Blue Box, and Ranma 1/2. Coincidentally, they're all airing on Netflix this ti...
Which Summer 2024 Anime are Popular in the U.S. Compared to Japan?
We have a new deep-dive from Miles Atherton to find out which anime captured the most fans last season!
― Anime has never been bigger in the United States of America. It's a big statement to make but relatively easy to qualify. According to research from Polygon from 2023, “56% of Gen Z respondents and 41% of Millennial respondents say they watch anime at least once a month” with the supermajority o...
Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance ‒ Episodes 1-6
The only real novelty here is seeing these mobile suits brought to life in a realistic video game engine. Other than that, you've probably seen a war story—likely even a Gundam story—that explores a lot of the same themes and does it better.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V ‒ Episode 4
Who is more worthy, the goddess or the girl? It's a question that DanMachi has asked off and on throughout its run.
Gridman Universe Anime Film Review
Widely available in North America for the first time, Gridman Universe successfully ties up the loose ends of SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon, while fan-favorite character Akane looms heavy over the film.

Fist of the North Star Volume 14 Manga Review
Can you recreate the magic of the relationship between Kenshiro, Raoh, Toki, and Jagi?
― Fist of the North Star Volume 14 provides Kenshiro with the most interesting set of villains of the post-Raoh era by digging into a familiar bag of tricks. This volume, almost more than any other, has me split on how to feel about the events. It is equal parts novel ideas and the same old, familiar, and unique. T...
Ranma ½ ‒ Episode 3
Rumiko Takahashi stated in an interview long ago that she didn't intend Ranma ½ as a commentary on gender roles, and I believe her.
I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History ‒ Episode 4

Natsume's Book of Friends Season 7 ‒ Episode 3
This episode may have been a one shot, but it set the stage for future episodes in the subtle style that has become synonymous to me with Natsume's Book of Friends as a whole.
Macross Delta Anime Streaming Review
While the central couple of Hayate and Freyja are easy to root for, Macross Delta's muddled, unfocused story hampers the overall viewing experience.
― At last, the frayed, exhausted patience of (non-US) English-speaking Macross franchise fans has been rewarded. Apart from the 1982 original Super Dimension Fortress Macross and 1984 movie Do You Remember Love (both still held to ransom by Harmony Gold ...

MONOGATARI Series: OFF & MONSTER Season ‒ SEASON FINALE
This is a fantastic episode—one that ties together the entire back-half of the season and expands on the ideas first brought up in Kizumonogatari.
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth ‒ Episode 4
Oczy, a pessimistic commoner with minimal science education, is a more unlikely—and thus more interesting—hero to usher in the next leg of Orb.
You are Ms. Servant ‒ Episode 3
While there’s still some room for improvement, this was definitely a stronger episode than the previous two, and I really hope that it keeps this up.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 - The Conflict ‒ Episode 29
In many ways, this flashback feels like it really came out of nowhere.
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II ‒ Episode 3
When you think about it, the whole “kill Pitohui and Llenn” alliance was destined to end in a bloodbath.
Magical Girl and The Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies Manga Review
The late Cocoa Fujiwara never got to finish this story. Even if you don’t love the series, that’s a tragedy, and for readers, it means knowing that you’re embarking on a journey without a finish.

THIS is the kind of chemical reaction I look for in this show!
From Vertical Scroll to Screen: Anime Adaptations of K-Comics
It's becoming hard to miss: anime is increasingly mining Korean comics for inspiration. Let's take a look at some of the popular adaptations so far.
― It's becoming hard to miss: anime is increasingly mining Korean comics for inspiration. It's hardly a new thing, though – back in 2004, Ragnarok started the ball rolling, followed by Black God in 2009. The former series was based on a game, while the ...
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest ‒ Episode 15
While I can’t say this was a satisfying way of resolving it, I’m at least glad we seem to be done with the White Mage stuff for the time being.
Wonderful Precure! Episodes 25-36 Anime Series Review
The Cures need Niko and their transformations to fight, but their true strength comes from themselves and their relationships.
― While this season of Pretty Cure is unique in several ways, there are two that stand out, at least among legally available series in the west. The first is the overt romantic subplot that truly gets off the ground in episode thirty-six; while Delicious Party Pretty Cure did...
Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. ‒ Episode 3
I'm sure it'll be fine, nothing's ever gone wrong in stories about filling a containment system up with monsters.

The Stories of Girls Who Couldn't Be Magicians ‒ SERIES PREMIERE

Fist of the North Star Volume 13 Manga Review
Fist of the North Star Volume 13 is a strong package, but at the same time I wouldn't blame someone for feeling like there are diminishing returns in this latter era of the run.
― Volume 13 is an odd mixture of elements and novel concepts that dazzle visually while being all right otherwise. I hate to sound like a broken record, but many of the same strengths and weaknesses seen here have been with t...
Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii ‒ SERIES PREMIERE

The huge leak of alleged info is already showing some holes in its authenticity, plus video game legend Nobuo Uematsu isn't retiring YET, and more of the latest gaming news.

See You in My 19th Life Volumes 1-3 K-Comic Review
The K-Comic series See You in My 19th Life is a love story that is as much about the tragic past as the hopeful present.
― Tragedy and romance have been linked almost since the dawn of literature. Why else would stories of doomed lovers like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet or historical tales of Cleopatra and her lovers be so lionized? For many readers, the fine line between the potential for a happy ...
The Real Yokai of DAN DA DAN
We asked yokai expert Zack Davisson to give us a lesson in the real origins of Turbo Granny, Serpos aliens, and more from the hit series DAN DA DAN!

BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI- Anime Film Review
Now streaming on Crunchyroll, the BLUE LOCK movie makes Nagi an even more interesting and nuanced character, but the last 10 minutes almost upends the film's otherwise interesting plot.
― BLUE LOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI- is a retelling of the early events of BLUE LOCK through the eyes of Nagi and Mikage. However, that's not to say this is a recap or compilation film. Rather, a good 70% of the film ...

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth ‒ SERIES PREMIERE
Orb seems destined for those lists of anime you recommend to people who don't normally watch anime. That's by no means a slight against it, either.
