Not as strong as the first season. Pacing can be better but overall a moderately entertaining follow-up.

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.

J-drama ● Review: Human Vapor
Moderately intriguing mystery-thriller. Nicely shot and edited. Nothing outstanding but that is not a bad thing as it does what it needs without drawing excessive attention.

Film Review: Yaksha: Ruthless Operations
Steady pacing, but plot needs to be move faster. Looks good. Nothing outright wrong with it but nothing great either.

Anime Review: Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1
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.

Film Review: War Machine (2026)
Cheesy sci-fi action like Predator (1987). But with an alien mech.

K-drama Review: As You Stood By
Starts a bit slow and the villains are too simplistic. Conclusion is too rushed but is overall not a bad thriller-drama with some effective tension.

Film ● Review: Dark Star
Low-budget indie film notwithstanding, the film is decently produced. The satirical ideas are there but not enough laughs.

Film ● Review: Johnny Mnemonic
Not bad even though it can be much better. Can look darker and grittier. Admittedly not the easiest short story to adapt, but at least the screenplay is written by the original author.

Anime ● Review: Dan Da Dan
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.

Film ● Review: The Woman in Cabin 10
Journalist reports woman going overboard but nobody believes her. Nothing particularly interesting but is intriguing enough initially. Becomes laughable later.

J-drama Review: Miss King
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.
