Review: Dagashi Kashi 2 E.04

By Dustin Cabeal

Here I was worried that with the shortened episodes there wouldn’t be as much time for character development. This episode is full of heart. I still lean towards the second episode as my favorite of the season thus far, but this one is really close behind. Hell, upon a second viewing it might actually beat out the second episode, but I’m not going to go back and forth right now.

Review: Dragon Ball Super- E.125

By Erika Suarez

Five very long minutes are left in the Tournament of Power, and the field immensely grows tense for the remaining two battles. After Dyspo’s defeat and Gohan’s honorable sacrifice, we move forward with Toppo and his dramatic transformation leaving behind his “justice” motto and becomes a God of Destruction after Frieza pushes his limits. A battle of evil stirs in the tournament and makes an impressive turn around for Toppo’s character.

Review: Killing Bites E.03

By Dustin Cabeal

For a moment, just one moment, this review nearly started off by saying, “it wasn’t as dumb as the previous two episodes.” After some thought though, the conclusion that was arrived at is this: it’s a different type of dumb this time around.

Unlike the other two episodes, the third chapter of Killing Bites begins with a tease of where the show is going. We find Hitomi and Cheetah girl dressed as maids and having pictures of their asses taken by what looks like a quarter of the college campus. Apparently, this school is full of desperate men in dire need of dirty photos to beat their meat too. Yuuya stands there, now with crutches, wondering how they got to this point. Cue the flashback!

Review: Killing Bites E.02

By Dustin Cabeal

Usually, I don’t poke fun at the titles for anime, but “Killing Bites” irks me in a particular way given that I say it every time I’m writing a review or listening to the show. Why, why is it not just “Killing Bite” or “Morphing People Fighting to the Death: The Anime.” One of the great mysteries of anime…

Review: DARLING in the FRANXX- E.03

By Erika Suarez 

Things become awkward between Hiro and Ichigo after the mock battle, and she loses focus during a mission fighting against lower class Klaxosaurs with her team. The parasites get outnumbered by their enemies and Hiro is put in a frustrating position when the APE staff refuses to let him pilot Sterlizia. Mitsuru confidently steps in to prove himself higher than Hiro by riding Strelizia, and his heedless behavior nearly gets him killed.

Review: Dagashi Kashi 2 E.03

By Dustin Cabeal

Okay, so maybe I don’t remember all the fan service from the first season. It could be much, much, much worse than it is here, but it’s hard to ignore it all together. Still, at least it’s somewhat tastefully done… I guess. I mean, I’m watching Killing Bites (terrible name) at the same time, and the stuff in Dagashi Kashi 2 doesn’t even qualify in comparison. But still, you can’t compare one show to the other, the fanservice exists, but it’s realistic. It’s not over the top or gross.

Review: Killing Bites E.01

By Dustin Cabeal

Killing Bites is a story that you can understand the existence of, but at the same time question the existence. If it were a video game, you would totally understand it. In fact, for those that remember and have played Blood Roar will probably find something to like about this series.

Usually, I would say that at the core, this is a story about people that can morph into animals and fight to the death. More than likely you’d be like, cool, I gotta check this out! But, it’s not just that. That’s what it could have merely been about, and hell, maybe it started off that simple but got lost in the boobies along the way.

Review: DARLING in the FRANXX- E.02

By Erika Suarez

Episode one lays out the mechanics of the piloted mecha suits and provides a deeper understanding how they’re used. The mecha crew we got a glimpse of in the previous episode was properly introduced. Hiro doesn't recall any memory of piloting Strelizia and only remembers the special "kiss" he had with Zero-Two. Fan Service crept up on us but is something expected from Studio Trigger and succeeds in maintaining.
