Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 12
Rating: B This episode may not have the action elements that the previous two episodes (especially episode 11) had, but it nonetheless delivers a far greater and sharper punch, partly by solving two mysteries and delivering tantalizing hints of a new and much bigger one. The first (and more short-term) of the two mysteries isContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 12”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 11
Rating: B- This episode once again reminds us that action scenes are never going to be this franchise’s forté. Thankfully, some other interesting developments are afoot here to help carry the entertainment load. At least this episode tries to put some “oomph” in its action scenes, as the battle between Isla and Demon General FlaminContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 11”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 10
Rank: B Conceptually speaking, this is one of the most intriguing episodes of any series so far this season. With a single revelation, the writing adds a novel twist to the basic “transported to a game world” concept and partly upends the whole foundation of the series, while also explaining away some seeming inconsistencies inContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, episode 10”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 9
Rating: B After how, ahem, “eccentric” the Brain Eaters proved to be, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Isla, Queen of Bugs, once she finally got summoned. Would she be similarly twisted by the evil alignment of Mynoghra? I’m pretty sure I wasn’t expecting her to be everyone’s kindly grandmother, however. Isla having anContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 9”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 8
Rating: B- Since Mynoghra is a specifically-evil nation in a fantasy setting, its Medic units naturally were not going to be anything ordinary. Because of that, it makes sense that, for all their flaky behavior, these eccentrics turn out to be called Brain Eaters and actually be Frankensteinian monsters with Buffalo Bill-like aspirations. (And yes,Continue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 8”
Summer ’25 Mid-Season Report, part 2
See here for part 1 of the report Kaiju No. 8 s2 Rating So Far: B This has, so far, had less feature moments for Kafka, but that doesn’t mean it’s been short on big developments. Quite the contrary, in fact; No. 9 has uppedhis game even further as the main antagonist, and now itContinue reading “Summer ’25 Mid-Season Report, part 2”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 7
Rating: B This episode leaves us with one burning question: how does Atou know enough about a traditional Western marriage ceremony to dream about it when Takuto all but proposes to her at the end of the episode? Granted, this could just be the production staff being cute and playing off a common stereotype forContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 7”
Summer ’25 Mid-Season Wrap-Up, part 1
With the Summer 2025 season entering its seventh week, it’s time to take a look at how some of the season’s titles are doing so far. Even with a couple of series which I held on through four episodes falling to the side (The Summer Hikaru Died, Tougen Anki), I have still wound up stayingContinue reading “Summer ’25 Mid-Season Wrap-Up, part 1”
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 6
Rating: B After a couple of episode with a large chunk of the content focused outward, the series turns almost entirely insular as it formally introduces two new (presumably) regular cast members. Twins Maria (left above) and Caria (right above) Elfuur are the exclusive foci of the series’ closer and also make appearances in itsContinue reading “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 6”
