This week we're looking at a batch of Netflix shows, including one of the two most popular anime on the platform in the USA in 2020. The one we're not looking at is a Pokemon movie.
Mini-reviews for anime is the name of the game here, whether we're tracking along with an episodic release or writing up a whole series in one shot, the idea is to be brief and spoiler-free.
In this issue of the column, you'll find a mix of successes and of disappointment. We begin by looking at one of Crunchyroll's big bets for the season, Noblesse, and while it's not terrible, it's not amazing either.

It's time for another issue of Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime. We'll look at the latest Aggretsuko, Rent-a-Girlfriend, Imperial Wrath of the Gods, The Misfit of Demon King Academy and frustratingly copy'n'pasted virus monsters in Gibiate.
There seems to be a boom in great anime right now. Is it the growing war between Crunchyroll and Netflix? Is it that WarnerMedia is, as rumoured, gearing up to sell Crunchyroll at its peak?
