Skip or Stream? The Real Anime MVPs of 2025
The 2025 Anime Dilemma: Too Much Content, Too Little Time Alright, keeping up with seasonal anime has basically become a part-time job. Between Netflix’s algorithm shoving mediocre isekai down our throats and Crunchyroll’s endless carousel of sequels, separating the gold from the garbage feels next to impossible. That’s where I come in.

Why 90s Cartoons Meant So Much to Us
There is something magical evoked by the mere mention of 90s cartoons. For me and many others who were lucky enough to grow up during the decade, the theme songs themselves – the high-energy riffs of X-Men, the dorky optimism of Doug, the go-go call of DuckTales (ahem, technically began late 80s but reached its peak 90s!) – are powerful nostalgia triggers.

Wes Anderson
“I aimed for whimsy, but landed on twee. It’s a fine line, people, it’s a fine line.” This is something I can picture my imaginary 1940s screenwriter persona saying. Fed-up with the intensity of films noir, set in the mean streets of dimly-lit cities, she has turned her hand to some light comedy. It doesn’t work. She knows it hasn’t worked. It’s just – well, twee. Too sweet. Lacks bite.

6 Movie Reviews in 100 Words
Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025), Director: Matt Palmer Fear Street: Prom Queen is one of the most generic, slow, and unrealistic slasher films. This felt more like a Goosebumps anthology than a new addition to the Fear Street franchise. The characters are uninteresting, led by dialogue that sounds nothing like how teenagers talk. Matt Palmer has no buildup in the tension or dynamics. You’re telling me that prom night doesn’t come to an immediate halt when a student’s disembodied head is found in the punch bowl? Other than some of the kills, Fear Street: Prom Queen is uninteresting. It doesn’t do anything different from the usual slasher films.

Lilo & Stitch Review, Best Live-Action Remake Yet
Although Lilo & Stitch doesn't prove to be entirely required, it does set itself apart from the original. It starts off as a near shot-for-shot recreation before quickly developing into a more sophisticated approach to its themes. With Sydney Agudong as Nani, Maia Kealoha as Lilo, and Chris Sanders reprising his role as Stitch's voice, this new adaptation of the beloved Disney film is the kind of summertime adventure that both adults and children will love. Lilo & Stitch will be one of the summer's biggest hits since it has changed enough that the plot is distinct yet still identifiable.

From Pixels to Real Life: 10 Anime Screaming for a Live-Action Glow-Up (Without the Usual Trainwreck)
The Live-Action Curse: Why Anime Adaptations Keep Face-Planting Let’s address the elephant in the room: live-action anime adaptations have a worse track record than a toddler piloting a fighter jet. For every Rurouni Kenshin (which nailed it, by the way), there are a dozen Dragonball Evolutions—projects so cursed they make you wonder if the writers even saw the source material.

Thank You, Makima
About a year ago, I did something I am not very proud of: I published a crappy opinion piece. Said crappy opinion piece resides here on Vocal, and it is—unfortunately—about one of my favorite characters in all of anime and manga: Makima.
