Anime Review: Lycoris Recoil
Plotting can be better, but decent “girls with guns” action with genuinely lovable main characters.

Film ● Review: World Breaker
Unfocused, starts off as sci-fi horror-action and then transitions to quiet post-apocalyptic life and coming-of-age. Uneventful and dull.

Film ● Review: In the Lost Lands
Pacing is not bad but the antagonists are oversimplistic and the worldbuilding is clumsy.

Anime Review: Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (Season 1 & 2)
It has a premise that is challenging for any writer, it has worthy themes, and it has some depth and emotional resonance without trying too hard.

Looks great but two of the main characters are annoying and the plot lacks substance.

Anime Review: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War
Interesting enough premise but clumsy plotting. Visually cheap. It may work in a game but not so much as a 12-episode series.

The Catechism of the Council of Trent
The Catechism of the Council of Trent, also referred to as The Roman Catechism, was issued by order of Pope Pius V. The introduction briefly goes through the history of the text.

Anime Film ● Review: Lily C.A.T.
Can be more intense but it is short and looks good enough. An Alien rip-off but it is still a classic that is amusing and entertaining.

The New World Order by H.G. Wells
Whilst the author makes some correct (enough) criticisms of the world, the text is ultimately more self-indulgent, vague materialist-socialist/communist drivel like his other works.

Lamentabili Sane by Pope Pius X
Pope Pius X (b. 2 June 1835 – d. 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, began his pontificate on 4 August 1903. He is known for opposing modernist thought and as a bishop proposed a new catechism for laymen in 1880.

K-drama Review: The East Palace
Intriguing enough premise but the plotting is a little clumsy. But still, solid performances and excellent production. In any case, it’s short so it is over quickly.

Anime Film Review: Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker
Mostly a waste of time unless one loves the video games or genre, or for the sake of studying. Annoying lead character.
