From Hulu: Saitama only became a hero for fun, but after three years of “special” training, he finds that he can beat even the mightiest opponents with a single punch. Though he faces new enemies every day, it turns out being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. Can a hero be too strong?Continue reading “One-Punch Man Season 2 [NO SPOILERS]”

Castlevania Season 3 [NO SPOILERS]
From Netflix: “Belmont and Sypha settle into a village with sinister secrets, Alucard mentors a pair of admirers, and Isaac embarks on a quest to locate Hector.” What I liked: How events within the first two seasons have shaped Trevor and Sypha’s relationship. Alucard’s dolls FOREVER. The action sequences (once they finally get there) areContinue reading “Castlevania Season 3 [NO SPOILERS]”
Moonlight Fox (2020) (YouTube Short)
Gonna try something a little different with our latest review… Moonlight Fox is a character created by Jordan Gibson. From what I understand, the character is inspired by the Tokusatsu genre in Japan (Godzilla and the Power Rangers would be the most famous example to those of us who are unfamiliar), but particularly inspired byContinue reading “Moonlight Fox (2020) (YouTube Short)”
Sym-Bionic Titan (2010) (TV)
From IMDb: “Three young alien beings with the ability to form a giant robotic warrior attempt to blend into suburbia, all while battling the tyrannical forces that ravaged their home world.” What I liked: A forgotten gem from master animator Genndy Tartakovsky, who I’ve mentioned before when reviewing his latest show, Primal. Paul Rudish andContinue reading “Sym-Bionic Titan (2010) (TV)”

Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal (2019) (TV – Season 1)
From IMDb: “Primal features a caveman at the dawn of evolution. A dinosaur on the brink of extinction. Bonded by tragedy, this unlikely friendship becomes the only hope of survival in a violent, primordial world.” What I liked: Since it takes place in primordial times, the show has zero dialog. Only yells and roars andContinue reading “Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal (2019) (TV – Season 1)”
Lupin III: Dead or Alive (1996)
From IMDb: “When Lupin heads to the kingdom of Zufu to pilfer its treasure, he incurs the wrath of its psychotic ruler General Headhunter, who places a dead-or-alive bounty on his head that many intend to collect.” What I liked: Sharp pace enhances an already engaging story featuring one of my favorite fictional characters andContinue reading “Lupin III: Dead or Alive (1996)”
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Seasons 1-4)
From IMDb: “She-Ra, Princess of Power, leads a rebellion to free her land of Etheria from the monstrous invaders the Horde.” What I liked: Completely dissects the original She-Ra concept and revamps it to be a deeper, prolonged experience. Features a progressive set of multi-dimensional characters voiced by a progressive cast. The show never getsContinue reading “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Seasons 1-4)”
