Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadows S2 Ep 4 Review “You’ll be fine as long as you’re not E-Rank.” That’s an important line from the fourth episode of Solo Leveling’s sophomore outing, and for good reason. Jin-woo may have left E-Rank behind a while back, but that’s still his official rank. As long as he …
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan – Kyoto Douran – 18
Wheels are in motion, things are happening. As is the way of epic shounen battle arcs, though not many (well, maybe only one or two) are as epic as “Kyoto”.

For a while, it seemed like they were setting up the green thing to sacrifice herself, or be the only one without friends/family among the survivors, …
Shiguang Dailiren: Yingdu Pian (Link Click: Bridon Arc) – Series Review
Now that I’ve finished up the “Bridon Arc”, I though I should say a few words on it. Because, you know, it was rather good. But the whole Link Click thing is confusing, without even getting into the plot (which is certainly also confusing). I’ve read so many conflicting things: This was Season 3, and …
