Yep, another part thing because I decided to review a lot of shit on here and I need to look back and see what I got to cover and what I missed.

From the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian) comes a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise. In an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos. Wow, Resident Evil... the franchise that keeps on going and this is reboot #....4. I mean, we had the Paul WS Anderson movies that lasted through six movies, we have a reboot with

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: HORROR Collector

OK... this is a spinoff of that one anime series, A Certain Magical Index and also Railgun. A show that I heard in passing and probably watched one episode once and didn't bother to continue.

Welp, we're at the end of first looks and I have plenty of material to do extra cuts since as always I watch a lot of shows but sometimes I have enough on my plate.

Decibel Boost Album Roundup MAK MUSIC 2026 Edition: SEPTEMBER

Oh.... I forgot about doing this for a minute. Yeah, with me busy with Time of the Season for Fall 2026 and me actually NOT bitching and moaning about my life for once this year and just enjoying myself from my birthday to seeing some good anime returning back or new ones I might like. But then again, I didn't have much to cover this month. I only got 4 albums and you know what? Good. I'm glad I didn't overstuff with albums I probably won't go back to more than once and I also noticed that I haven't been writing much album reviews with the last one I did being back in June/July with that Vince Staples record.

Did I step back into the 2010s? Or at least around the late aughts or something? That time around when a lot of anime centered around cute girls got a lot of attention? And a lot of slander?

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: Even the STUDENT Council Has HOLES!

Alright, alright! I know I'm late on this shit!! You forget, not a lot of us got the Oceanveil service and you know what? Maybe it's good that service didn't have a Roku app or any app because people already think anime has a lot of fan service. It does but so the fuck what? Also, Oceanveil also has plenty of niche, SFW shows to watch. You know, shows that regular streaming services tend to forget or YOU tend to forget. But yeah, I'm going to jump on some of these shows to see the hype.

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: Uncle’s OBSESSION with CUTE Things

There's a lot of things about me that breaks gender norms -- for one, I don't talk about sports because I don't give a shit about them; If you get in a fight, don't ask me to back you up -- I rather not start shit and probably run or walk away and I admit to liking cute things as well.

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: REBORN As A Space MERCENARY

Oh, so this is another isekai we have in our hands, eh? Well, at least this one has a same-day dub. Actually, the more I think about it, I have been choosing a lot of same-day dub anime. I guess that makes it easier for me to get through. Well, this one seems like your usual schtick. This is Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship!

HEY, a show that's all about being horny and it's on a service that I actually have!!! (No, seriously, some shows are appearing on Oceanveil this season and for those that don't know -- that's a newer anime streaming service that mostly handles some niche anime and a lot of uncensored eechi and hentai anime. It also costs $12.99/month and well, an app for your phone or tablet does not exist for it nor does it appear on a Roku or fireTV stick. I get why but yeah...) Anyway, this show is about how two people can't stand each other but wants to fuck each other's brains out.

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: MAGICAL Explorer

OK, I gotta stop beginning my opening sentence with "So..."

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: SGT. Frog (2026)

Well, well, well.... a certain frog has made a return back in anime... again. I mean, he has returned a few times but this time, he's returning where we in the US can watch him legally.... but I doubt this is going to result into a dub since the original dub didn't get finished. Also, I doubt most people would want all of the original dub cast for that show to return. But hey, if I have to watch it in sub, OK then. This is Sgt. Frog (2026). Chief Director:

TIME of the SEASON Fall 2026 Edition: SEQUEL SEASONS, pt.1 …. because I know there’s more coming.

Yeah, we're at the sequel seasons already. Why? Because they premiere very early this time around and I think some already aired. Or at least one. Well, I'm going to cover... maybe 9 sequel shows or less. Depending on where they're streaming and if I care enough to cover them and as I said before, I'm not covering Black Clover. I tried that show before, it didn't work and then I've gotten back into it trying a 2 episodes a day back in January a few years back and I didn't like it.
