Info: 10 episodes
Genre: Horror, Supernatural
Rated: TV-MA
I would consider this show to be horny horror. There is a lot of nudity and sex thrown in your face. I understand why some of it was important to show for the storyline, however, some of it just seemed to be in your face. Besides the sex and nudity, the storyline was crazy. I was disturbed and shocked and kept saying to myself “Just one more episode” I did binge this show in one night. For Halloween, I’d say this is a perfect binge if you don’t have a weak stomach. Not only is the storyline insane, it is psychological and very gory. Might be one of the goriest anime I have ever seen. Gore has never bothered me much but I have to say I did warn you about it.
Ratings:
My Review: This show will have you second-guessing the whole time. So many plot twists it will have your head spinning. It is a very disturbing show with an unpredictable and shocking ending. My emotions were on a huge rollercoaster. The sex and nudity in it don’t bother me however I felt as if some of it took away from the show and I found myself skipping scenes because I wanted to get back to the storyline. I would only recommend it if you have a strong stomach because it will be turning throughout the whole show. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece like others have told me, but it is a uniquely horrifying show.

Decoding the Significance of ‘The Boy and the Heron’
What did I think of the Boy and the Herron? I was lost the whole movie! I didn’t follow a thing, and even though I was entertained I could not tell you a single thing about it after it finished. So of course I had to figure out what it was about after I watched it. I watched YouTube videos explaining the creation and story. Once I learned the depth of the storyline my mind was blown. I rewatched it once it was released to stream and it has become one of my favorite Studio Ghibli films.
One Piece Fan Letter
We follow everyday people as they stumble across the Straw Hat crew. I thought this was such a fascinating look into the lives of the non-pirates in this world. The inspiration and terror they face. We follow a young girl who has found inspiration through Nami. In a world of muscle and devil fruit powers, normal people are seen as less than. She sees how Nami can go on grand adventures without any special powers and finds courage through Nami’s bravery.
Bye for now!

Marvel Zombie
The last entry into our 2025 superhero projects catalogue is Marvel Zombies. This was a show that was anticipated by absolutely no one and it disappeared from the public consciousness as quickly as it was released. There was nothing special about the project that made it a must see, or a must remember. In fact if anything it's a must forget.

Journalist Naeem Hanif Publicly Apologises to Saba Qamar Over Defamatory Claims
An apology that reopens the debate on media ethics, accountability, and the lasting impact of misinformation In an era where information travels faster than verification, public apologies by journalists are rare—but when they happen, they spark serious conversations. Journalist Naeem Hanif’s public apology to acclaimed Pakistani actress Saba Qamar over previously made defamatory claims has become one such moment. Beyond the individuals involved, the incident has highlighted pressing issues around media responsibility, reputational damage, and the ethical obligations that come with having a public platform. Saba Qamar is not just a household name in Pakistan; she is one of the country’s most respected actors, known for her powerful performances in television dramas, films, and socially relevant projects. Over the years, she has built a reputation for professionalism, bold role choices, and advocacy for women’s empowerment. Any allegations targeting her character were bound to attract attention—and scrutiny. The Apology That Changed the Narrative Naeem Hanif’s apology, made publicly, acknowledged that the claims he had previously shared were unverified and harmful. In his statement, he expressed regret for the emotional distress and reputational damage caused to Saba Qamar, stating that his words crossed ethical boundaries expected of a journalist. Public apologies in media disputes are significant because they represent accountability. While legal notices and private settlements often remain behind closed doors, a public apology recognizes that the damage was public—and so must be the correction. For Saba Qamar, the apology served as a form of vindication. Although an apology cannot fully undo the impact of defamatory claims, it does restore some balance by putting the truth back into the public domain. The Human Cost of Defamation Defamatory statements do more than create headlines; they affect real lives. Celebrities, despite their fame, are not immune to emotional stress, anxiety, and reputational harm. In industries like entertainment, where public image is closely tied to career opportunities, even short-lived rumors can have long-term consequences. For female public figures especially, defamatory claims often take on a more personal and moral tone, reflecting broader societal biases. Saba Qamar’s case reignited discussions on how women in the public eye are disproportionately targeted and judged more harshly than their male counterparts. Supporters of the actress flooded social media following the apology, praising her resilience and calling for stronger standards in journalism. Many noted that while criticism of public figures is fair, character assassination is not journalism. Media Ethics Under the Spotlight This incident has placed media ethics back at the center of public debate. Journalism is built on credibility, verification, and fairness. When these principles are compromised—whether for clicks, attention, or personal opinions—the credibility of the entire profession suffers. In the digital age, the line between journalism and commentary has become increasingly blurred. Social media platforms allow journalists and influencers alike to share opinions instantly, often without editorial oversight. While this freedom has democratized information, it has also increased the risk of misinformation and defamation. Naeem Hanif’s apology serves as a reminder that freedom of expression comes with responsibility. Journalists are expected to verify facts, provide context, and avoid sensationalism—especially when reporting on individuals’ personal lives. Public Reaction and Industry Response The public reaction to the apology was mixed but largely supportive of Saba Qamar. Many welcomed the apology as a step in the right direction, while others argued it should have come sooner. Some media professionals used the moment to call for clearer ethical guidelines and accountability mechanisms within the industry. The incident has also prompted discussions about corrective journalism—how media professionals should address mistakes transparently. A sincere apology, experts argue, is not a sign of weakness but of integrity. It shows respect for the audience and the truth. Lessons for the Digital Age This case offers important lessons for both media practitioners and consumers: Verification matters: Sharing unverified claims can cause irreversible harm. Apologies are powerful but limited: They can correct the record, but prevention is always better than damage control. Audience awareness is crucial: Readers and viewers must learn to question sources and avoid amplifying rumors. For public figures like Saba Qamar, the episode underscores the importance of legal and moral recourse in defending one’s reputation. For journalists, it reinforces the need to balance speed with accuracy. A Moment of Accountability Ultimately, Naeem Hanif’s public apology marks a moment of accountability in a media landscape often criticized for avoiding responsibility. While the incident cannot be erased, it has opened space for reflection, dialogue, and reform. For Saba Qamar, the apology reaffirms her standing and resilience. For the media industry, it is a reminder that truth, ethics, and accountability remain the pillars of credible journalism—no matter how fast the news cycle moves.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

I remember this show! It was super gory and disturbing. I liked the plot twists and the weirdness, but I also wouldn’t call it a masterpiece. Beautiful animation, though!
