As the year comes to a close, we have one last hurrah with yet another Netflix-series review! No one was holding a gun to our head, but we could't resist reviewing this highly capable series from Studio Wit.

This episode is back with a little bit of Titan action... too bad it was just recycled from the first season! Reiner fans rejoice!

This week we're talking about Episode 61 - Midnight Train and we're pretty sure Mappa is just showing off their skills with this one.

With all the pent up emotions and tension over the last few months, it's enough to make one want to explode! But thanks to Sanrio and Netflix, we have a perfect remedy for such aliments. That's right folk...

This is the world created by Ito Junji, the legendary mangaka who got his start in horror more than 30 ye...

It's hard to ignore the current social and political climate of the last 5 months. On September 5th, Toonami released a promo about black lives matter and we couldn't help but take notice.

We've finally arrived at our small achievement of reaching 10 episodes and this will be our fifth Netflix review; these are't great odds! Come to find out, Netlflix is stepping up their game and producing exceedingly better content. This is not a bad thing per say, but our general distaste for Netflix's Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, lingers on and it's hard to imagine this being better than BNA or...

Even with some disdain from some of us, Netflix is pumping out some pretty great content and this is no exc...
