We talk character motivations, goals, and character growth and how those characteristics shadow a Main Character. The 2011 Anime release of Hunter X Hunter was produced by Madhouse and became an instant classic. Togashi ori...

Well I hate to say it (not that much) but everyone except for Ethan was wrong about Season 2 of One Punch Man. There was a lot of gripe flowing around before season 2 was released due to the animation studio shift from season 1 to 2. People were talking about an assumed massive downgrade in animation and overall enjoyment in the highly anticipated sophomore season of One Punch Man. I am happy to say everyones fears were overblown and we ended up with a great product in season 2. The story truly ...
