With last week’s episode of My Hero Academia, a new trifecta of best episodes has taken over the show. Hands down: truly amazing. Just two words needed. While Mirio might have stolen the spotlight, Deku regains it with this battle. Together with Eri, they were invincible. This episode was so incredibly badass – including Deku’s […]

This week’s episode of ABC‘s Modern Family was unexpected and simply fantastic. It really took me by surprise in many ways—especially with how more toned down, beautiful, and heartbreaking it was – all at once. It has been incredibly hard for me to write about this episode, to be honest. I kept staring at my […]

As Lemillion near his limits, this episode of My Hero Academia (“Unforeseen Hope”) has our heroes finally catching up to Chisaki. This episode was so packed with great moments of action and it honestly felt three minutes long. The animation was simply amazing and I cannot get over the visuals whenever Sir Nighteye uses his […]

This week brought with it the second-half of the final season of ABC‘s Modern Family. It was a very fun episode to start the year with – silly without diving into slapsticky. With the season being very uneven so far, this outing was definitely one in the plus column. It seems they are setting up […]

As it turns out, the latest episode of My Hero Academia was one of the best episodes in the show’s run so far. Lemillion defines what it really means to be a hero – and it has nothing to do with quirks. The slow-down of the pace on the past couple of episodes was truly […]

A new year means new episodes of ABC’s Modern Family – except in this case, it’s the series’ final episodes. Up to this point, the season has definitely run hot and cold – not sure how I will be feeling by the time it reaches its end. I am looking for more of these moments […]

This week’s episode of My Hero Academia once again kicks off exactly where we left at. Also once again? It slowed down to IV drip pace as expected, as now it just feels like it is slowly ticking down until the moment sh*t hits the fan. Now no one can complain about the story being […]

Before the masses descend upon me with fire and pitchforks, I am aware that speaking of live-action anime is taboo (insert bloody scream from the distance). However, I do believe that they could be fun if done well and I think there are some anime that lend themselves for live-action shows or movies. In the […]

In the spirit of the holidays, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of the holiday episodes of one of my favorite animated shows running, TBS‘s American Dad! I have a special place in my heart for both this show and Family Guy— especially their musical numbers. One major pet peeve: the […]

This week’s episode of My Hero Academia picks up exactly where things left off last episode. It was a little bit slower and with a bit more exposition than I have seen this season so far – though once again, I was expecting this as the season continues to offer different perspectives. Another episode that […]

With the holidays around the corner, I will try to keep my thoughts on Modern Family short-n-sweet… more like venomously sweet, like this week’s episode made me feel. The episode danced right on the edge of my very last nerve, to be honest. It was full of poison that I was almost willing to let […]

Starting where it left off, this week’s episode of My Hero Academia continued the quality momentum started with the season opener. It was a bit slower-paced than the past couple of episodes, with a bit more exposition than I have seen this season so far. However, the character development was definitely worth the words. I […]

This week’s episode of ABC‘s Modern Family was a bit weak. It was a bit of a filler just to get us to the holidays. It had a couple of good moments here and there, but not too much that really stood out even as I am thinking about it now. This season of Modern […]

This week’s episode of My Hero Academia started off pretty much where it left off – and then took off like a rocket from there. While I was not happy we did not get amuch Class 1-A, I really appreciated the little moments they pepper in every once in awhile to show they are still […]

One of the best animated shows out there is FOX‘s Bob’s Burgers, the “little show that could” that finally caught on with the audience and it’s been no looking back since. The show continues to bring fresh ideas to the table and constantly build up the world around it. With each passing and improving season, […]

If you are like me, either most of your family lives very far (or in another country) or are working most of the holidays. Add to the fact that I was born and raised outside the U.S. so not exactly having the kind of connection with Thanksgiving as others do, and you can see how […]

In order to fill the emptiness left behind with the lack of ABC‘s Modern Family this week and in honor of Thanksgiving week, I decided to commemorate the things about the show that I am most thankful for. Quite honestly, there were too many so I settled on three core topics that really impact me […]

This week’s episode of My Hero Academia brings things up to the tipping point. Though it was the slowest episode so far, the ending saved it somewhat for me. Things seem to be picking up in our heroes’ world and it looks like the villains’ plans starting to take shape. Again, while a slower paced […]

This week’s episode of ABC‘s Modern Family hits “The Feels” with another last: Thanksgiving. It was a cute episode that started off a bit weak and had me worried, but ended up hitting all the right notes by the credits (and a nice end creditsscene). We do get some sense of closure as some characters […]

Once again, My Hero Academia Season 4 does not disappoint—quite the opposite actually. “Let’s Go, Gutsy Red Riot” was everything the otaku in me wished for and yet still found ways to surprise me. This episode was the perfect segue to start expanding the storyline. This season has done a great job so far at […]
