The Great Pretender Season 2 sees the gang get back together to scam a triad that participates in child trafficking. Though this scam is personal.

I’ve been pretty neutral about Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, but this week’s execution of Popp’s character arc in Episode 9 had me cheering.

Noblesse Episode 8 made the show feel like a different series this week, beginning a flashback that starts to give context to the duo.

In Sleepy Princess episode 9, Demon King Twilight ups the comedy by insisting on a hostage training camp to get Syalis to act less pampered.

Fire Force Episode 22 Sees the Fir Force scramble to stop the white clad’s plan to destroy Tokyo with the help of an old friend.

Yashahime Episode 9 is back to the monster-of-the-week format, letting the show coast without making a whole lot of headway.

In Onyx Equinox episode 2, viewers get to meet Yaotl for the first time after he appeared at the end of the last episode and Izel close the first gate.

Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 9 introduces a new threat to Itadori’s world, one that twists humans into shadows of who they once were.

In Sleepy Princess episode 8, viewers are treated to a slower, more filler-centric episode that’s more filler fluff than plotty stuff, but still enjoyable.

Fans have a lot to be happy about this week. With Dragon Quest Episode 8, the anime presents its most layered 20 minutes yet.
