    We review "Ni No Kuni", a story about a fantasy world linked to our own by the worst thing possible: a "chosen one" anime hero with an IQ equal to his age.

    We review "The King of Fighters", where a young Japanese boy out for revenge trains to become a white man and travel to another dimension for a chance to become the KING OF FIGHTERS™ because... something to do with a floating, pulsating ball of slithering energy snakes? 
    Yeah, we're not sure how to process that one, either.

    Detention (2019)

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!
     
    This spooky season we watch "Detention", a haunting mystery about two students trapped inside a hellscape that may well be of their own making. Is there anything scarier than going back to school? How about a 1960s Taiwanese school at the height of the White Terror... and also ghosts?

    HALO Legends (2010)

    HALO Legends (2010)

    We look at an anthology of anime-tinged tales from the HALO universe, with stories ranging from educational to  badass to downright silly. Don't worry, fanboys: they're probably not (all) canon.
