Witch Hat Atelier Recap | Ep.8 The Misgivings of the Knights Moralis

BLACK TORCH Recaps | Season Premiere

In this episode of After Hours Arc, join me in starting our Summer recaps off right! BLACK TORCH is here and I think it was a fantastic first episode! I walk us through the season premiere, giving my takes and reactions from my manga-free POV. Going into this anime blind the only things I knew was it was about a teenager Shinobi, who could talk to animals and that it was like a supernatural thriller. I share my excitement about our main characters Jiro and our new but questionable feline friend Rago who’s not what I was expecting at all. From an intense battle with a Mononoke to getting ambushed by the Bureau of Espionage and all the amazing and artistic animation that literally exceeding any expectations I could have had. Here is the YouTube reaction if you want the visual element I’ve added https://youtu.be/VExJ-c0ndoM?is=KeurU89-_QlnJ6U8 [https://youtu.be/VExJ-c0ndoM?is=KeurU89-_QlnJ6U8] ⭐🎧 New episodes drop weekly — come recap and relive anime one arc at a time.

Spring Vibes | DUB Releases | Summer Plans

**I forgot to add I had started Marriage Toxin this Spring and got 3 episodes in, but decided to wait until its done to watch it! But I was really enjoying what I saw! On this episode of After Hours Arc, join me as I vibe check about the past season's shows. I bring up all the feelings Go For It Nakumura! has given me, what a roller coaster Daemons of the Shadow Realm has been and why I dropped Eren the Southpaw. I also get into the Isekai Office Worker and Tamon's B-Side English dub releases going on, and why they are really helping bridge the gap between Spring and Summer! We also go into some first impressions of To Your Eternity, Chainsaw Man and I add my thoughts on Tensura! The plans going into the Summer season and some cross platform discussions make this a long overdue vibe check!

Witch Hat Atelier Recap | Ep.11 The Test In Serpentback

On tonight’s episode of After Hours Arc, we head into Episode 11 of Witch Hat Atelier — The Test in Serpentback. While Agott prepares for her long-awaited Second Test, the spotlight shines on Richeh, whose struggle with learning from others finally comes to the surface. What starts as a disagreement with Qifrey turns into one of the most revealing character episodes of the season, giving us a glimpse into Richeh’s past, her relationship with her brother, and why she clings so fiercely to her own style of magic. Meanwhile, Coco begins discovering her own magical strengths, Qifrey drops some surprisingly inspiring lessons, and Master Olruggio continues proving why he's one of the best mentors in the series. As the apprentices arrive at Serpentback Cave, the Second Test begins — and it looks far more dangerous than anyone expected.
