This week, the professors jump back into the Clover Kingdom with Black Clover's first movie hot off the presses: Sword of the Wizard King!

This week, the professors take a jaunt down romance avenue with one of its most quality entries in recent memory: Horimiya! By setting aside bombastic character profiles in favor of a more realistic perspective and nuanced writing, this anime stands as a testament to the genre without going left field weird (but still does sometimes anyway...)
