Not bad pacing. Inconsistent but nowhere near as bad as I anticipated despite the cheese and cringe.

Nicely shot satire. Could be more biting but still funny and enjoyable.

Steady pacing, but plot needs to be move faster. Looks good. Nothing outright wrong with it but nothing great either.

The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick was first published in 1962 and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963. It was his first novel to win a major award. The story is mostly set in San Francisco, about 15 years after the end of World War II in 1947. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan had won the war and jointly run the world. This includes the US, which has been partitioned with the East Coast under Japanese administration. The narrative is written in third-person om

As a prequel, it is different but is fitting enough to the Macross universe. Nice designs and is one of the earlier anime works to use extensive CG. It can look better but decent effort.

Struggling actor role-plays for a rental family company. Positive but not too lighthearted. Solid performances and measured pacing. Amusing and entertaining.

Continuation of the same strengths and weaknesses. Visually slick and well-produced. Insufficient character development and depth when there is the opportunity to do so.

The mains characters split up so this season can feel unfocused, but this is mitigated somewhat by the quick pacing. Visually, it saves the budget for set pieces in the latter half of the season.

Teacher is murdered and thrown back in time to one year earlier. Well-produced with solid performances. Important themes but clumsy pacing and dialogue-heavy.

Good art, clean linework. Tight narrative with good pacing.

Some things progress too quickly and too many conveniences, but still a moderately enjoyable sequel.

A Japanese study by M.P. Kapoor, A. Abe et al titled “ Dietary intervention of prebiotic partially hydrolyzed guar gum improves skin viscoelasticity, stratum corneum hydration, and ‍reduction of trans-epidermal water loss ” published in January 2025 has found that prebiotic dietary fiber intake improves the skin. The paper is about 20 pages, including acknowledgements and references. The motivation for the study is to support the hypothesis and previous studies that prebiotic

Solid production and visually excellent. Steady pacing.

Nothing great but a solid series nonetheless. Decent writing, good performances and well-produced.

Nothing interesting despite the premise. Looks good enough but it just drags on and on. It’s just 26 tiresome episodes of a guy who is unable to be decisive, allowing things to be more complicated than they need to be.

Similar style to Shin Godzilla (2016) but goes further with the satire and comedy. Nicely shot and edited.

Slice-of-life fantasy romance and coming-of-age story. Moderately arty, mostly looks great. Short and simple, but too simple.

Whilst it is not outright bad, it is simply too conventional, predictable and lacks intrigue. Mackie and, to a lesser extent, Ford carry the film.

A Chinese paper by C. Wei et al titled “ Research Progress of Nattokinase in Reducing Blood Lipid ” posted on 24 May 2025 reviews research regarding the positive effects natto has on issues associated with cardiovascular disease. By the way, natto can degrade spike proteins as well. The paper is about 18 pages, with the main text at about 15 pages. The remaining are references. Unlike many papers, the authors actually try to explain some background regarding natto includi

Entertaining series. Some visual elements are a bit jarring but generally well-produced. It is funny, but can be funnier. Tries a little too hard to be edgy. Grounded by the friendship between the two lead characters.

A young woman wants revenge against her father via shogi. Characters lack complexity and some things are resolved too quickly, but it is well-produced with strongly established lead characters and the series is tight.
