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.

Back to (mostly) anime. More consistent than the previous two seasons.

Dark and gritty CG anime film. Mostly looks good but the storytelling tries to be way bigger than it is and so comes across as cheap.

Drama-comedy about a rookie cop learning the ropes. Has good balance between being half-realistic and being comical. Solidly produced.

A 12-episode slice-of-life series of three-minute vignettes. The writing can be better, but it’s not that bad if one doesn’t mind risking half an hour.

Boy and his mother in an online fantasy game. Crude but not as superficial as one may expect. Fails to reach its potential as both the comedy and themes can go further. But motherhood is lifted up and celebrated.

Very contrived way to get Arisu and Usagi back to Borderland. Well-produced but is more like an afterthought featuring material that should have been done in the first place.
