The Cat and the Dragon Episode 4 - "The Black Cat and the Prince"

I’m really loving how so far this series has been managing to keep this “The [Blank] and the [Blank]” naming structure that this series uses for its episodes. It pairs nicely with the episode title, as we’ve already gotten that title structure established. It’ll be interesting to see if they continue with this name structure the entire way through, or if there are some episodes where they have to…

Detective Conan: The J.League Starting Whistle

This week's episode of Detective Conan was a collaboration with the J.LEAGUE, and it feels timely to have something soccer-themed during the World Cup. It was also interesting to see VAR utilized since its use in the World Cup has angered fans. Overall, this was a pretty good episode.

Damn it, Crunchyroll! (Part 3)

I just saw Crunchyroll's October 2026 home video release list, and I'm a little miffed.

I've been buying the One Piece Collection sets and have been looking forward to Volume 40. I was dismayed to learn that this is going to be a Walmart exclusive. WTF, Crunchyroll?

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 2 - "No One Should Feel Sorry for Me"

Okay, just to make it clear, in my previous post about this show, when I said “Asher”, I was referring to Jeffery, or as I shall refer to him in the remainder of my posts, Jeff, mainly because I was struggling to remember if we learned his name last episode at all, so I just went with whatever name I could see get used for him, and since I saw the last name first, that’s what I used. Just figured…
