We review the second part of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Our first-time journey through this beloved anime continues to surprise us with new discoveries and crazy plot twists. We discuss fathers, Winry’s dumb decision, Edward’s strand of hair, and continue to ponder whether our predictions will be correct.

We discuss the biggest clowns in anime. There are the kind of clowns that wear face paint, make balloon art, and scare kids at birthday parties. And then there are clowns who are stupid, cringe, and make total fools of themselves. We’re sharing our picks for anime characters who are not just clowns, but the entire circus.

We review the first season of Solo Leveling. We’ll admit, we were a bit apprehensive about this anime after hearing all the hype from manhwa readers (flashbacks to Tower of God). Luckily, the hype was real and we got an anime adaption that we thoroughly enjoyed. We discuss blending game mechanics with the real world, power systems, and Jinwoo suddenly becoming hot.

Japanese title: Ore dake Level Up na Ken

We review the third part of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. The exam arc continues with a new supporting cast of strong magic potential - but a different kind of magic happens with the lessons this series continues to impart along the way. We discuss the amazing fights coupled with the equally impactful quiet moments, the simple but sweet season finale, and the proper way to pronounce “labyrinth.”

We discuss our favorite supporting characters in anime. These are the characters that sometimes don’t get the recognition they deserve, despite contributing to how the main characters develop and helping to shape the course of a story. We’re honoring the real ones, and sharing our favorites and the impact they left on us and their respective anime.
