Tougen Anki Season 2 is finally getting ready to return, and honestly, this is one of those anime continuations that feels much more exciting once you know how much story it has to work with. The first season already gave us a pretty wild introduction to the conflict between the Oni and the Momotaro, but…
There are plenty of supernatural battle anime competing for attention right now, but Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood has always felt a little different to me. It takes the familiar Momotaro legend, flips the moral sides completely, and turns it into a violent story about bloodlines, identity, revenge, and two factions that are…
There are plenty of anime sequels I get excited about, but Tougen Anki Season 2 has a different kind of appeal.

That is a big part of what makes FX Fighter Kurumi-chan so interesting. On the surface, it looks like another anime built around cute characters and an unusual hobby. Then the trading charts appear,…
There are plenty of movies and TV shows about money. There are far fewer that understand what it feels like to sit alone in front of a chart while a position quietly turns against you.
