And they’ll be brief ones, I can tell you that. I have nothing to say about the episode itself, which was a recap episode. Now the idea of starting a season with a recap episode is pretty silly to me – especially when you’ve only been off for three months. It makes no sense. It …
Healer Kicked From Party #01 — Fifty Seventh Guild Explanation of 2024
The next time someone describes a guild, I may have an aneurysm. Impressions: I would say that this is just like every other show with the exact same premise, but it’s really trying to hide its premise for some reason. This is despite the title of the show and the OP giving away the …

Our last episode offered one of this production’s most enchanting tone pieces so far, vividly realizing the nostalgic, lackadaisical atmosphere of …
