It’s fantastic to see adult magical girls, though the execution is somewhat middle-of-the-road.
The Stories of Girls Who Couldn’t Be Magicians has all the makings of a solid magic school story for older kids,
It’s hard not to root for a crowdfunded-project-turned-big from a female director to succeed.
This is a lovely little premiere about two nice kids who’re passionate about sports, but it’s a little overly polished.

The first episode is a beautifully shot little short film that combines filmic artistry with well-executed character beats. It makes me hopeful for the series going forward.
Whatever you call the special spark a death game needs to pull people in, TASUKETSU hasn’t got it.
It might turn out to be writing thematic checks it can’t cash, but Suicide Squad ISEKAI is still a fun action comedy in the meantime.
I had a wonderful time with Whisper Me a Love Song, but your experience will likely depend on how willing you are to stretch your disbelief over the premise.
Viral Hit is a show about frustrations with the medical system and exploitation when working online—something that’s sadly relatable across cultures.
