Let’s Go JoJo! #10 – Hitman Team
Before we get to the rest of Formaggio's deadly duel with Narancia we gotta get to the -why- of the matter as the traitorous assassin cell in Passione meet to plot the organisation's downfall and our heroes' demise. Some more backstory hits Sakura like a truck in Zombieland Saga, a lot of it gets left out in Karakuri Circus and Double Decker is dangerously overflowing with the stuff! Take notes 'cuz this may be on the exam!

Even though our research for this topic unearthed a couple of candidates suitable for a show of their own we've elected to store those for next Winter and stuff ourselves with a feast of festive episodes from some classic and not so classic series that take inspiration from everybody's favourite holiday ghost story. Check 'em out! You've got your space Western flavour in Bravestarr, a less-than-cheerful outing in Adult Swim police procedural spoof Stroker & Hoop, selective implementation of time travel in Back To The Future and those ethereal exterminators do too good of a job in The Real Ghostbusters. Park yourself by the fireside with your nearest & dearest and regale them with our yuletide cheer. Merry Christmas folks!

Let’s Go JoJo! #8 – Sex Pistols Appears Part 2
Mista is feeling more than a little bit salty as he finds himself continually bamboozled by Sale's stasis-inducing Stand ability. Can he score a bullseye on this slippery foe? And will that truck driver ever make his delivery? Anime sociopaths come in a variety of flavours this time as Ogata recounts his sordid family history in Golden Kamuy, Badger's impenetrable facade is put to the test in Bono Bono and Nezumi Otoko uses his stench in the name of justice for a change in Gegege No Kitaro. Now freeze punk!

Show #173: Castlevania Season 2
It's a new age of terror as those young upstarts at Powerhouse Animation consort with dark powers to summon another, even larger apparition of Castlevania!

To the surprise of many familiar with the less-than-stellar track record of video games adapted to other media the first instalment of Netflix's animated series based on the classic video game franchise turned out to be quite a solid if rough hewn affair. Emboldened by this praise Sam & Adam Deats, Warren Ellis, Spencer Wan and company strive for ever greater heights with twice the amount of episodes and plenty of ideas to fill them with. Will they absolutely slay it? Or will this castle prove a hassle? Sad monsters, vampiric socio-economic affairs and an appropriate level of swearing lurk behind a hidden wall! (or just beyond the link above!)
Let’s Go JoJo! #6 – Moody Blues’ Counterattack
Abbacchio does his best to put aside his instinctual hatred of Giorno to psychically scour the yacht in search of clues that might help the gang overcome their mystery assailant. Can this ex-cop get to the bottom of this strange case? While Jojo sings the blues Franchouchou prepare to rock out in Zombieland Saga, a musical kaiju resurfaces in SSSS. Gridman and Double Decker goes to the prom. The beat goes on!
