The Ogre's Bride Anime Series Review
Yuzu seems passive, but she's really a survivor stumbling her way into the light.
― The Cinderella fairy tale often draws knee-jerk reactions about passive heroines. Even some of her arguably more passive fairy tale sisters, like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty, are afforded more grace than the woman who rises from the ashes to become a princess.

A major Fire Emblem anniversary and the release of Dead of Brain are among the big topics this week!
