Last week’s episode of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End was SICK. It concluded the Divine Revolt arc as Frieren’s party, teaming up with Serie’s duo, battled the gigantic demon general, Revolte, and his three demon underlings. The fights were intense, bloody, and clever. And Frieren’s part in the ferocious fight? Well, she flew high above the… Read More A Father Like Frieren

Anime fans in general love it, while the more picky critics… well, I think… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Satoru’s Purposed Revival
This weekend, I found Zombie-Loan on Crunchyroll. I loved it about five years ago, so I decided to see what I’d think of it now. As expected, I’m no longer a fan. I’ll knock my rating for it down at least 25% by the time I finish re-watching. And yet, there are some nuggets of truth to… Read More Annalyn’s Corner: Living like a Zombie
