This third volume of Dark Horse Comics' latest Gunsmith Cats re-release is arguably its most essential to long-term fans. ― This third volume of Dark Horse Comics' latest Gunsmith Cats re-release is arguably its most essential to long-term fans; it certainly is to me.

DIGIMON BEATBREAK Episode 13-24 Anime Series Review
While Beatbreak's early episodes had already shown it to be perfectly capable of operating as a good piece of cyberpunk media, the extent to which this arc successfully tackles all of the heavier themes attached to that elevates it into a great one. ― With its first dozen episodes, Digimon Beatbreak successfully proved to not only be a solid modernization of the Digimon franchise, but also one capabl...

Versus Volumes 2-4 Manga Review
ONE took all of his favorite game, movie, and book antagonists, altered them slightly to avoid copyright violations, and mashed them all together in one almighty smorgasbord of madness. ― Versus is another gleefully over-the-top action extravaganza from the pen of Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man author ONE. After the first volume's extended introduction to this complex world, the next three volumes ...

Farming Life in Another World Season 1 Anime Series Review
This is a charming romp, and a mindless one, too. ― Here it is, y'all. Another fresh plate of mindless isekai fluff served al dente. It's got farming. It's got food. It's got Jojo's references. It's got vampires, ogres, and dragons taking on the form of cute anime girls. Cliche? Perhaps. Substantial? Not really. Boring? As a fellow once said, it's all a matter of perspective.
