Episode 406

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 18:42

Genres: Action, Drama, Mecha, Military

Studio: Xebec

02:39 - First impressions: Mithril falls way too easily

Studio: Kyoto Animation

Source: Light Novel

Studio: Gonzo
Source: Light Novel
Jack's Score: 5/10
Rick's Score: 6/10

Genres: Action, Fantasy, Isekai, Harem, Ecchi, Comedy

Studio: Silver Link, Blade

Source: Light Novel

Genres: Action, Fantasy, Supernatural

Studio: Geek Toys

Source: Manga

Rick's Score: 5/10

Genres: Fantasy, Action

Studio: Studio Chizu
