Answerman - Why Isn't Korean Anime More Of A Thing?
anime
It seems like South Korea's anime industry should be a force in the world; is there a reason it hasn't quite developed? Justin gets into it.

anime
Kamisama Kiss' second season is just as delightful as the first, taking Nanami to meet the other gods in Izumo and delving deeper into both her past and Tomoe's.

Review: My Hero Academia Vol. 4
manga
My Hero Academia is in its element in a volume that mixes dramatic battles and strong character writing to stand at the peak of its genre.
― My Hero Academia's third volume was a bit of a lesser volume, focusing mostly on the cooldown period between two larger arcs. It was fun, but it was the manga leaning on its fundamental assets, and not truly demonstrating what it could really do. But that volume...

Maken-Ki! Two BD+DVD
anime
The second series for this fan service fest is a slight improvement over the first, but that isn't saying much.

anime
The beloved shonen adventure anime Hunter x Hunter is coming to Toonami, which prompts Mike to launch into a full appreciation of this often undervalued action masterpiece.
― A few years back, the 2011 version of Hunter x Hunter was appointment TV for me. I watched it every weekend (and later, every Tuesday), eager for its thrills, plot twists, and the fun chemistry between heroes Gon and Killua. Lat...
