The genius of a brilliant manga like Tite Kubo’s Bleach lies in the narrative, which has the ability to grasp the attention of fans for years. The anime and manga series started long ago but are still considered one of the best works of all time and are deemed inspirations for many other prominent anime and manga series.

The story is complex but structured, and it features an array of characters that are able to portray the plot exactly as Kubo wants. All of this is the hard work and brains of Kubo, and it truly makes him a brilliant mangaka. However, this sparkling brilliance of the manga creator gave rise to an odd obsession in him.
Kubo once revealed that whenever a thought or a concept emerges in his mind, he has a struggling need to express it. He even stated that if, for some reason,...

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a remarkably popular series. The manga of the same name currently has over 150 million copies in circulation, and the television anime adaptation, created by anime juggernauts Ufotable, is listed among IGN's best anime series of all time despite only having premiered in 2019. The show resonates profoundly on multiple levels as it tracks hero Tanjiro Kamado and his quest to vanquish Kibutsuji, the demon responsible for turning his sister, Nezuko, into one of the same.
The conventional shōnen elements are all there. Tanjiro, for his part, is unequivocally good. Yet, the way the show merges familiar elements into something wholly unique and resonant is unmatched. Its most recent season, the "Entertainment District" arc, ended wonderfully, and with a forthcoming third season on the way, fans are likely as eager as ever to find something to mind the gap. Like the best of them, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba...

One of them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa Province. The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for the moment, escaping from enemy territory is the priority!” (Viz Media)

At last year’s Fantastic Fest, I was introduced to an unkillable teacher (nicknamed “Ut” by students) and his class of assassins-in-training who must execute their tentacled mentor before he blows up the Earth. The movie was Assassination Classroom, and the tone was manga-inspired, coming-of-age weirdness at the hand of a borderline superhero/supervillain. Ya empowerment with a Japanese flair – but could director Eiichirô Hasumi capture the same outcasted significance in the film’s sequel, Assassination Classroom: Graduation? Yes and no, thankfully with a stronger emphasis on “Yes.”
Hasumi’s sequel returns to Kunugigaoka Junior High School, where Ut’s E-Class continues to learn from their assassination-happy alien teacher – but with graduation approaching, the severity of their actions begins to kick in. Besides figuring out what career path to take, the students are running out of time to kill Ut, thus saving humanity from a fiery destruction. The government continues...
