And it is the important details that Ash needs in order to discover what it truly means…

Movie Review: Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
TL;DR – Thor learns to open his heart again and pays the price…again.
Review (warning: spoilers)
I am probably one of the few people who did not enjoy Thor: Ragnarok. And before I continue, let me preface this by saying I’m a big fan of Director Taika Waititi. I thought Jojo Rabbit was sublime, and his comic acting chops in Free Guy as the antagonist, Antwan, was hilarious. He is incredibly…

TL;DR – the lore of video game Tekken brought to the anime screen.
Review (warning: spoilers)

Anime Review: Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau (2017)
Anime Review: Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau (2017)
TL;DR – a frustratingly pointless examination into the lives of children cursed by their ancestors.
Review (warning: spoilers)
Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau (aka Children of the Whales as released on Netflix in 2018) is beautiful to look at and has an interesting premise but overall is odd. I’ve watched a lot of anime that is strange and unusual, but this is probably one of the first animes…
