Monster But Wild is a Chinese donghua showing a gamer who gets transported into his favorite game. Typically, this would lead to a rosy life where the MC gets unparalleled powerups and defeats the demon lord, but not this time. Dong Dong, the gamer, gets transported only to find out he is now the weakest of all monsters, a dangly-looking skeleton monster. Still, he didn’t lose hope because “Someone was reincarnated as a slime, and he became a hero.” (Cool TenSura reference there) Alas, he gets his butt handed to him by a slime pretty soon. How will this weak…

Attack on Titan, the favorite show of all the sadist otakus in the world, is ready to air its finale. The saga that began in 2013 will end soon, and I hope all of you are ready for the gore and drama it will bring. Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 3 2nd Half is reportedly the last installment to the franchise, and I hope MAPPA doesn’t split it anymore since that would test the fans’ patience. In the last episodes that aired, Eren had already started the rumbling, and millions of people worldwide got killed. Only a tiny…

After delivering back-to-back duds in phase 4, Marvel Cinematic Universe has recaptured its groove with the recently released ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’. The film is being hailed as the best outing from the studio since ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ It seems like James Gunn is the savior MCU needed. However, one more factor played a significant role in the film achieving the kind of critical and commercial success it has- its primary antagonist, High Evolutionary. Played deliciously by Chukwudi Ivuji, the character is hands down one of the evilest creatures to ever exist in any cinematic lore. However, towards the…

Almost every anime you watch uses the ‘power of friendship’ concept. It has been overdone to the point of it becoming corny. 2014 anime, ‘One Week Friends,’ is a testament to how even an overdone genre can be presented refreshingly. No, the anime does dramatize, “I will die for my friends!” but it does show the daily lives of two people who want to be friends and gradually become closer by overcoming a painful obstacle. One Week Friends does not show characters with a burning passion or fierce personalities; instead, it reflects on two teenagers and their feelings for each…

May 4th is the holy day for every Star Wars Fan. The iconic line echoing through generations, “May the force be with you,” comes off like a wishful encouragement. This dialog was first heard in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope by General Jan Dodonna in the 1977 film. It was sort of seen as a battle cry since the military leader utters these words to his troops for the Battle of Yavin. Ever since then, fans coined the term “May the fourth be with you” as a play with puns and marked May 4th as the official…

Take a quarter cup of your feelings, half a cup of emotions expressed in words, and a full glass of melody that reflects your state of mind– and you get a song that narrates your story. Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga, BTS, Sam Smith, George Ezra, Adele, Sia, and several others have established a dedicated fanbase since they write their own songs which give a glimpse of their personal lives. Ed Sheeran is one such songwriter who is known to evoke a ‘pure love’ sentiment with his songs. The ‘Perfect’ songwriter has always been transparent in his song-making…

Simulation games are a great escape from your mundane chores. Ironically, we play these games where we are supposed to farm, cook, clean, run a business, groom, and whatnot. So basically, we are escaping reality to simulate the realism in games… Tongue-in-cheek Among this plethora of games, ‘My Singing Monsters’ is not your ordinary virtual parallel universe. It subverts the trope by introducing a creative way to juxtapose monsters and music. One has to collect and breed monsters that have an assigned musical line. These monsters can either sing or play an instrument, and you can mix and match them…

Diving into a possible genre has quickly become one of the favorite genres in cinema. Filmmakers get a wide-lensed spectrum to explore creativity in imagining an impending doom. As Dystopian novels in previous centuries explored what the world would look like in 2020, several predictions seem prevalent in today’s age, such as – The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, The Children of Men by P.D. James, and many more. The writers based their predictions on how minute discrimination and ignorance in the present would compound…

The Disney vault harbors some of the most beloved fairytales. These stories are curated from across the globe and over the centuries. Even though these stories are marketed for children, the strong underlying themes like the importance of education for girls, standing up for oneself, truth prevails over lies, being kind is the greatest strength, and many such moral values shape young adults. Cinderella was one such animated movie that became an instant hit, where women could relate to relentless chores, under-appreciation, and gaslighting.
