The Battle Cats is set to enter a dark new era as last week’s dramatic stand-off between developer PONOS Corporation and the criminal gang known as The OutCats comes to an end. Writing in an official statement, PONOS has outlined the terms of the truce and identified the perpetrators of the attack, which saw 100… …
Spy x Family Season 2 – 08
I found that ep of SxF disturbing on so many levels and none, I suspect, the way it was intended. One thing about this series – when it whiffs with me, it can whiff hard. Sometimes it’s just abject mediocrity but others I truly feel as if Endo Tatsuya’s worldview is genuinely screwed up. Thee …

It makes the same mistake that so many of these anime mysteries do. The fun is in the procedural part; investigating, interacting with various colorful …
