This one is special. For every Kamehameha we all attempted in our rooms, and the times certain situations made us think we would really turn Super Saiyan, Dragon Ball Z in particular and Dragon Ball in general, have had an impact and influence on Anime and those that love it so enduring it makes the 1st Goku vs Frieza fight actually look like it lasted 5mins. Akira Toriyama has passed away, starting his journey on Snake Way, and our Saiyan Pride gives thanks for all of the special moments and memories, which are over 9000!     "Trunks, Bulma - I do this for you... and yes, even for y ..read more

Skynet remains undefeated and just like the T-1001 Terminator it's back yet again. Being a teenager is hard. It can be even harder when a supernatural being decides to expose a group of friends to various supernatural, sense-altering phenomena in their daily lives.  You read that right. A teenage drama/slice of life with touches of coming of age and, at times, handling mature themes like Law & Order. Kokoro Connect is the last Skynet entry for 2023. Tune in to find out if it was worthy of its position. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum. (The only exception being older ..read more
