Episode 10 Bojji has completed his training and even sports an impressive little sword which Kage is excited to see! Where did Bojji gain the strength to wield such a thing? The answer is soon revealed when he removes the sword from its sheath and all we see is a stick thin rapier! What a joker! Kage can’t believe it and believes this stunt with the sword is just a load of porkies. Despa prefers to call it a bluff. Bojji meanwhile looks deflated that his little act didn’t spur a more positive reaction but when Despa tells him to buck up his mood immediately lifts. There is a moment silence then Kage finally accepts things by recalling that strange event he saw previously with the rock. The trio go to a nearby restaurant and...

The Washio Chapter is actually a prequel to the original Yuuki Yuuna season although if you want to get the most out of this franchise I would still recommend watching the original Yuuki Yuuna over this. I say that because the revelations mentioned in this Washio chapter will spoil a major twist in the first season. In terms of the target audience this will be great for people who like slice-of-life anime or magical girls and is suitable for veterans and newcomers alike. The ending is stronger here and this chapter is an improvement over the first season.

In this prequel I will be delving into Jobless Reincarnation which was one of the better anime series of the winter 2021 season. It is one I would recommend for its good storytelling. Be warned thought that our main man Rudeus Greyrat is a bit of a perv so there will be ecchi scenes littered throughout this one. Even if you are not a fan of such things though don't let that deter you from watching this!

Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc Synopsis: In this part of the demon slayer the trio of Tanjirou, Zenitsu and Inosuke join the sound Hashira (elite slayer) Tengen Uzui on a mission to hunt down a powerful demon downtown. Trailer: Thoughts: Seeing as this is the third season it is recommended you watch the previous seasons (or at minimum the movie) as jumping into this might not make a whole lot of sense considering a big chunk of the opening one-hour special focuses on the ramifications of Rengoku’s death. Now personally, I found most of this long episode to be a slog with the first half being particular testing. The first half largely focussed on the final events of the movie/train arc and as such I felt nothing of...
