I am confused about the time setting. If it takes place in 1990, I hope they really commit to it. The camera style is a good start, but I want more details that match that period. Small things like clothing, behavior, and how people talk can make a difference. The trailer does not show much of...

Haha, remember the good ol' days of the 80s and 90s Super Sentai when they didn’t just go for any actress to play the villainess generals, but porn actresses? Yep, whenever they needed a "sexy" female villain, they would call up someone from the adult film industry. It’s honestly kind of...

Honestly, this is one of the rare horror anime that I actually watched until the end. Usually, I lose interest, but the mystery here kept me invested. I am not joining the contest, but I will definitely be watching on the 27th. I want to see if the ending is tragic, hopeful, or something else...

I imagine that new viewers who never played the game might enjoy it just as much. The story is not dependent on gameplay knowledge. It is a tale about loyalty, duty, and survival. If the anime keeps the balance of action and emotion, it can stand alone without needing the game as context.

I’m not mad, okay? Juri is still number one to me, but Viper coming back in this way is actually really cool. She didn’t just return—she leveled up. I always thought her design was too over-the-top in SF4, but this time it works better. She looks strong but not exaggerated. Plus, putting her in...

I only started reading comics a year ago, and TMNT was my first series. I didn’t grow up with the cartoons, so I’m discovering everything now. Seeing names like Godzilla and Shredder together just sounds fun to me. It feels like the comic world has fewer rules than movies or shows. You can just...

I’m a bit annoyed. Crunchyroll has been around long enough that delays like this shouldn’t happen anymore. We keep hearing “we’re working on it,” but some shows still go weeks with no dub. I was excited about The Water Magician, and now it’s barely catching up. I don’t even want to start...

There’s something sad and beautiful about Wendy’s story. She’s a child who lost her human life, and now she has to live in a body she didn’t grow into. That’s hard. I wonder how the show will handle her feelings—loneliness, fear, maybe even anger. Fighting aliens is scary enough, but what she’s...

I haven’t read manga in a while. I was into it a lot during high school and then drifted away. But now, with all this being digital and easy to access, I feel like giving it another shot. I remember reading Naruto when it was new. Seeing it back again in this form feels nostalgic. I’m glad Manga...

As someone who teaches high school students, this show made me sad. It reminded me how much pressure young people face—academic pressure, family expectations, social class. Lee Seung-Cheon is smart and hardworking, but he’s stuck because of poverty. And Hwang Tae-Yong, though rich, is crushed by...

Honestly, I think Netflix is doing this in parts just to keep people subscribed. Why else break it up like this? One episode on New Year’s Eve? That feels too calculated. Still, I’m watching. I’ve come this far. I want to know what happens to Eleven and Will, especially now that Will seems...

Three characters at once? That could be a mess if not handled well. I’m hoping they don’t make the controls too clunky trying to force that gimmick. I get the whole “Chaos Engine meets Gauntlet” thing, but those games had clear design goals. A cyber-Soviet war squad fighting neutral monsters...

The Speed Run mode is what got me into this game. Happy to hear 2.0 improved the UI—it used to slow down attempts. I’m hoping the new tweaks mean fewer frame drops in tricky levels. Ready to grind some times.

I liked it, especially the way the supernatural was introduced slowly. It wasn’t just fantasy for the sake of it. The snowman, the soul reaper thing — it was weird but kind of worked. I don’t know why but the scenes where Sim Jae-Yi dressed like a man to go searching made me feel emotional. Her...
