Everyone Should Watch the Terrible Wonder that is Hero Return

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @peggyseditorial I think I might love this anime more than anything else that’s come out this season so far—yes, even more than the Inuyasha sequel, Yashahime or Noblesse, the long awaited adaptation to a webcomic I obsessed over when it was still being published.  How can I say that I love it when, in the title of this very post, I called … Continue reading Everyone Should Watch the Terrible Wonder that is Hero Return
