Anime Film Review: Demon City Shinjuku
Simple dark fantasy-horror: kill the bad guy with a sword and save the world. Looks great but it’s a bit flat.

Film ● Reviews: The Old Guard & The Old Guard 2
A form of the superhero genre with “immortal” warriors. Tries too hard with action and grit, so it just comes across as bland cheese. Meh.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Underworld
Three episodes about Ventress and three about Cad Bane. Style is the same as before. One either likes it or not. However, the writing is much better than previous series.

Animation ● Review: Star Wars – The Clone Wars
Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

K-drama ● Review: The Uncanny Counter
Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.

Simple premise and structure. Tanjiro’s family is slaughtered by a demon so he fights them, basically a “gauntlet run” to the demon boss.
