But don't worry, we've got Jacob our resident grump, and he's got enough to complain about. This week he dives into the concept of Objective Quality and Reading Charitably, and gives his options on Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh, My Hero Academia, and many other...

No Read November is at its end, but not without a final boss of its own. Only a movie that is so far divorced from its source material that its creation is theorized to be out of spite could possibly match up.

Spooktober concludes the only way it can, with an isekai manga about a completely featureless protag being wiped away into the world of a 70s Slasher movie.

The spooks continue with a blast from the past, as a zombie apocalypses ravages Japan.
