Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Episode 8 is a great episode. It has heart and drama and ultimately embraces a story of complex emotions.
Jujutsu Kaisen has risen to new heights in Season 2 and with Yuta Okkotsu it’s going to sore even higher in Season 3.
Kenjaku is the primary antagonist for Jujutsu Kaisen and in Season 2, he’s coming into the forefront of the anime.
Working as a rom-com and a workplace comedy, My New Boss is Goofy Episode 12 is a perfect ending to a perfect series.
Something is missing from The Kingdoms of Ruin Season 1. It’s not bad, but the series is hollow when it had all the making to be great.
Despite its great animation and its strong start, The Kingdoms of Ruin Episode 12 is a frustrating end to a series that could have been more.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Episode 7 is too focused on the rest of the Monsterverse and not the story at hand.
