Gleipnir – Episode 1

SPRIGGAN offers a blast from the past with all its foibles, ranging from toeing the line with anti-semetism to engaging in some of the Cold War's stereotypes and…
Ishura – Episode 1

Yasuke – Episode 1
Yasuke is the Black, SFF historical anime we all needed, but didn't expect to get in such a gorgeously animated package.
Re:Monster – Episode 1
The opening is impressively bad, and the rest of the episode has the gall to settle into mediocrity.
number24 – Episode 1
