The Future of Pokemon is Legends
Pokemon Legends Z-A delivers one of the best games in the series through changes to battling as well as a deeper story with a great cast.
Scooped up by an S-Rank Adventurer!
Welcome back as I continue my study into the emerging genre of "I'm super strong but my friends think I'm useless for some reason so I set out on my own and immediately found new, better friends who all want to suck my dick." Or something like that. I'm looking…
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra
Ah, another entry in the long line of "isekai but the main character is evil or a bad guy or whatever the fuck." Except I've read the light novel for this one so I'm actually giving it a chance. Woo. Overlord definitely turned me off from this genre and I can't say I've…
The Water Magician
There's a certain sweet spot of disappointment that The Water Magician perfectly nails. It's the kind of show that draws you in to believe in it - only to shove that belief up its ass as it sputters about in the back half. I hate that I could have predicted it going to shit…
Superman (2025)
Is it wrong that I went into this movie totally expecting to hate it? In recent years I've been on a "superhero-movie-moderately-dislike train" and a "DC-movie-hate train" since the Dawn of Justice so I was fully expecting this movie to be total dogshit and not even worth a place…
Donkey Kong Bananza
Donkey Kong Bananza provides a game that should appeal to fans of the series and newcomers with its smashing gameplay.
Secrets of the Silent Witch
The summer 2025 season of anime saw at least a couple of my light novels get adaptations and while one was so "meh" that it not only will not be getting a review but it also made me doubt my enjoyment of the series, the other is the subject of the current review and…
Dandadan (Season 2)
I'm still not happy with you Dandadan. I can't deny that I eagerly watched each episode the week it came out, but I can easily find it in me to complain about the 6-month gap between the start of the the current arc and where we picked up. I spent the first few episodes…
Shoutout to @jessayleee.bsky.social and @slusheepop.bsky.social for creating the #PNGtuber avatars! We'll be using these for episodes going forward and might go back to our older episodes to give people a video option.
Another episode of the Hot Takes Podcast is out now! Nick goes on the defense after last episode. Find links to your favorite podcast platform on our Spotify Creator page or watch on YouTube!

Witch Watch
Witch Watch is a new romcom manga adaptation that manages to deliver some great laughs as a witch continues her training.
It’s Not Nichijou: CITY The Animation
CITY naturally draws comparison to Nichijou that might make it harder to enjoy, but it is a great show anyways.
Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus
Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus manages to take the series in new directions that should keep viewers interested.
New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
New Panty & Stocking has a lot to live up to after 15 years. Or well, it does if you didn't just watch the first season earlier this year.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity
The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity is a mouthful of a title, but the show is an excellent pure romance show that delivers a lot of joy in its debut season.
The Water Magician
The Water Magician is more like an advertisement than a standalone show, but it is an effective one.
There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless…
This lesbian anime falls short as it has a repetitive structure and doesn't do much to distinguish its harem of girls.
My Dress-Up Darling (Season 2)
My Dress-Up Darling season 2 continues to deliver wholesome goodness as Gojo and Marin grow closer working together on cosplays.
Dandadan (Season 2)
The second season Dandadan delivers more good, weird sci-fi supernatural romance action. Dandadan is every genre.
A Totally Planned Out Episode and its bonus companion How to Plan an Episode Live are out today! Find out how Michael and Christian get by without Nick to run things
