New School. New Friends. New Demons...

JENTRY CHAU vs. THE UNDERWORLD
Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld is an American animated supernatural-action television series created by Echo Wu. Produced by Netflix Animation and Titmouse, Inc., the series was released on December 5, 2024 on Netflix.
 
Jentry Chau celebrates her 16th birthday in Seoul when she is suddenly attacked by a jiangshi named Ed, who cautions a mogui named Mr. Cheng is targeting her. During the fight, Jentry reawakens to her dormant fire powers, surprising her. Jentry's great-aunt Gugu intervenes and pacifies Ed with a talisman as she tells Jentry they are flying back to her hometown of Riverfork, Texas to deal with Mr. Cheng; Jentry reluctantly accepts despite holding bad memories of the town and trains to control her powers. While refamiliarizing herself with Riverfork, Jentry reunites with childhood friend Michael Olé. Jentry and Gugu prepare to fight Mr. Cheng, but Jentry worries she might burn Riverfork again when Mr. Cheng arrives. Gugu defends Jentry from the spirit and is killed. A vengeful Jentry fully awakens to her abilities and defeats Mr. Cheng; as she cries, she sees Gugu's ghost, making her realize she has awakened to her third eye. Gugu expresses being proud of Jentry before Ed points out a portal being formed.

Super Cub Is the Most Underrated Anime of 2021

SUPER CUB
The series is set in the Mukawa area of Hokuto in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. The story follows Koguma, a lonely high school girl with no hobbies or interests. After an encounter with a Honda Super Cub 50, she begins to grow and her world expands beyond herself. 
"No Giant Robots, No High Tech Gadgets, No Martial Arts, No Swords, No Guns, No Magic, No Explosions,
No Violence of Any Kind... 
And Yet, This is the BEST ANIME of 2021 (so far)."
- anim8trix
Super Cub is the most underrated Spring 2021 anime, and we want to fix that in this Super Cub review. In the Super Cub anime, Koguma gets a motorcycle and it changes her life forever. Super Cub has stunning animation, sound design, and voice acting, and it's a beautiful slice of life anime with a relaxed pace.

Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou.

Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou.
I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home., Higehiro
Office worker Yoshida has been crushing on his coworker, Airi Gotou, for five years. Despite finally scoring a date with her, his confession is promptly rejected. Drunk and disappointed, he stumbles home, only to find a high school girl sitting on the side of the road. The girl, needing a place to stay the night, attempts to seduce Yoshida. Despite rejecting her advances, he nevertheless invites her into his apartment.

The next morning, the girl, introducing herself as Sayu Ogiwara, reveals that she has run away from Hokkaido all the way to Tokyo. During her six-month spree, she continually traded sexual favors for a roof over her head. Yoshida, however, remains unswayed by her seduction. Instead, he has her do a different kind of work—one that entails washing dishes and doing laundry. And so, a touching relationship between a heartbroken adult and a runaway high school girl begins.

Japanese School Girls Go DRAGON BALL!

There's a new fad amongst girls in Japan:
Imitating Insane Anime Fight Moves!
  • [Source: Syfy.com] Leave it to the clever girls of Japan to bring the coolest parts of Dragon Ball to the real world. There's a new trend to hit eastern shores that any fan of the seemingless endless cartoon Dragon Ball can appreciate. There's a move from the show called the Kamehameha which you may not recognize by name, but it's basically the hadouken move that Ryu and Ken do in Street Fighter. You just heard them saying hadouken in your head, didn't you? Did you then say it out loud? Good. You're ready then. Basically these girls have gotten together and snapped photos in a way that makes it seem like they have super saiyan abilities. It's simultaneously funny and awesome at the same time. Check out our gallery below and then hunt around for more.

Japan - Part 1: School

So what's it like to live in Japan?
Spend a day with Audri as she goes to school...
Audri: "Well, I thought people might like to know what I do at school, 
so I took my camera with me one day and recorded the whole sordid affair. 
I apologize if I don't sound enthusiastic in this film, it's definitely not easy 
to make something you do daily sound fun like a trip to Disneyland!!!"
