Welcome, all, again. Today's discussion will focus upon The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, a quiet isekai offering one of the least flamboyant--yet one of the most solidly constructed--storylines ...

Welcome, all, again. As we settle into a new viewing season, today's subject will be the just-concluded The Magnificent Kotobuki, which might surprise regular readers who know how much I normally dislike CGI animation.
