Beast School: Our Preview of ‘Clevatess Season 2’ on Crunchyroll

One of last year’s surprise breakout hits, Clevatess, returns this summer for a second season. The first season’s crisp visuals, dark storytelling, and proclivity for violence and bloodshed drew viewers in by the droves. A budding fandom grew despite many of them (myself included) not knowing much of anything about the property before seeing it. […]

Strong Message For Girls: Our Review of ‘Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games’

Girls are supposed to be prim and proper; at least that’s the stereotype a lot of people believe. They aren’t supposed to like anime or video games either, but that’s not accurate at all. Still, that doesn’t stop people from thinking that those things are true, and frowning upon it when they find that it’s […]

Curator’s Picks: Our Review of ‘Phantoms of July’

“Billions of euros are being spent to support people,” says an alt-right German radio disc jockey who viewers never see.

Joy Of The Movies: Our Review of ‘Minions and Monsters’

There’s something to be said for leaning into the joke… Even for movies for the kids, the Minions franchise has historically been on the pretty dumb side.   While Minions & Monsters is no different, it’s willingness to put these characters in the middle of the rise of Hollywood, embracing the classic creature feature era and […]

Guess who’s coming to dinner? In theatres now and arriving like a bolt of lightning this holiday weekend; The Invite is a glorious cry from the heavens that character driven originality more then has its place in the landscape of pre-existing intellectual properties and is yet another reminder that smart and funny can actually sell.

Nothing New, But it Looks Pretty: Our Review of ‘The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System’

While there are many reasons that gamers game, one of the biggest reasons is escapism. Games offer worlds and stories that let players experience things they can’t in everyday life, from exploring fantasy kingdoms to flying spaceships. Many gamers enjoy anime as well, which is why you see a lot of overlap between the two. […]

Somewhere Safe: Our Review of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2’ on Netflix

Previously on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aang (Gordon Cormier) thaws and meets water tribe members. The members, siblings Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley), go with him on a ‘road trip’. They’re there so Aang can learn from previous avatars but the siblings get separate crushes. Some of the avatars are more helpful than others. […]
