Anime Movie Night is here again and we cover the whole original Bubblegum Crisis! We watched all 8 OVA's over a few weeks and I even bought a Blu-Ray copy of it because the animation is so gorgeous to look at. It's also just great to have an HD version of Hurricane I can fire up any time I want.

Critical Role has dropped their second campaign series on Amazon and The Mighty Nein has hit the ground running. We have noticed even people who didn't much care about Vox Machina are really enjoying Mighty Nein and with good reason. The story is more thought out, the characters are deeper and the music is cooking! Let's Toon in!
A Disney channel classic from the early 2000's, Kim Possible was a highly successful tween action hit that the Disney Channel... kind of hated? They didn't ever seem to want to give the show a fair shake despite it being highly successful and a hit with fans, parents and a down right good time. Toon in and let's talk about KIM POSSIBLE!

To Be Hero X, a Chinese Anime, may very well be the show of the YEAR for 2025.

To Be Hero X has really hit all the right spots for me and some of the best character arc stories the medium has to offer. Let's toon in to Hero X!
Predator is getting some franchise treatment as of late and as part of that this past summer we got Predator: Killer of Killers on Hulu!

Toon in now!
