Salaryman’s Club (Review)

By: Beata Garrett  | @zhongxia246 Salaryman’s Club only has two episodes out in comparison to other Winter 2022 anime, but it’s filling that sports anime hole in my heart pretty well and is a contender for my favorite this season.

Happy Hearts & Matching Outfits: A Romance Trope (Analysis)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting​ I know I have mentioned this before, but I love seeing matching or complementary outfits on couples (particularly in comics).

The House – Parasitic Horror in Three Parts (Review)

By: Beata Garrett  | @zhongxia246​ Haunted houses are a staple in horror, and have a rich history of terrifying us as places that blur the boundaries between the living and the dead, hell and heaven, and reality and delusion.

By: Beata Garrett  | @zhongxia246​ When ODDTAXI began airing in April last year, I’ll admit that I wrote it off as a copy of Aggretsuko.
