The God of High School Episode 7 “Anima / Force” Anime Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

The God of High School has officially kicked off the “Nationals Arc”, essentially splitting this episode into two parts. Not like the “exposition” / fight scene” split we were shown in the first two episodes, but rather a “tournament / “battle against Nox” split. Based on what’s been happening this season, I will assume the rest of the season will follow this structure to a certain extent. Well, at least until the two stories clash in the middle at some point.

Digimon Adventure REBOOT Episode 11 “The Wolf Standing Atop the Desert” Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

Last episode showed us the amazing MetalGreymon. This latest episode gave us WereGarurumon and more context—more accurately, rebooted context—on Matt’s loner status. While I thought Matt’s back and forth about “doing things alone” to “being a team player” was annoying, at least we learned—officially—why he was acting this way. He wanted to finish the Digimon mission as soon as possible so he can go back home and protect his little brother, T.K.

Digimon Adventure REBOOT Episode 10 “Steel-Solid Super Evolution” Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

This latest episode was outstanding! The animation on Greymon’s super evolution to MetalGreymon was phenomenal. There was decent build-up to that moment, and even when it came, I still found myself surprised that the super evolution actually happened. The flashback to my childhood when this digivolution happened in the original series’ 20th episode was too surreal.

The God of High School Episode 6 “Fear / SIX” Anime Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

The God of High School’s latest episode finally delivered much-needed exposition and context for what’s been happening in the last five episodes while also carving the path for the “Nationals Arc” at the same time. After constant fight scenes—which were hit-or-misses—since the anime debuted, it was refreshing to have an episode where the plot was getting a proper set-up.

Pokemon Journeys: The Series Netflix Original Part 1 Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

Pokemon is back on Netflix with a new series. Unlike the past 23-seasons of Ash and Pikachu’s adventure, this one took a new approach with a soft reboot on the series. The premise of this new show follows Ash, Pikachu, and new protagonist Goh becoming Pokemon Researchers for Professor Cerise in Vermillion City. The main goal is to research and catch as many Pokemon as possible, undergoing many investigations assigned by Professor Cerise.

Get Even Netflix Original Season 1 Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On August 5, 2020, I started watching the latest teen drama Get Even and finished all ten episodes on August 10. In typical teen drama fashion, the British series centered around four girls—Kitty Wei (Kim Adis), Bree Deringer (Mia McKenna-Bruce), Margot Rivers (Bethany Antonia), and Olivia Hayes (Jessica Alexander)—and their activities as D.G.M, a secret group dedicated to taking down bullies at their elite prep school.

Lucifer Netflix Original Season 4 Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

Lucifer—the Devil Himself—just refuses to die. I had a good time watching the hit series when Netflix saved the show from cancellation back in 2019. I binged-watched the first three seasons and had a blast with the fourth season too. I hadn’t had a chance to write this season review until recently, but at least I was on time before Season 5 Part 1 drops on August 21, 2020.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Netflix Original Part 3 Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On July 20, 2020, I started watching Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Part 3—season 3—and finished on July 27, 2020. While my feelings have been mixed with the first two parts of Sabrina, I thought Part 3 fixed a lot of the mistakes that plagued Part 2 in particular.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Netflix Original Part 2 Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On July 17, 2020, I started watching Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Part 2—season 2—and finished on July 19, 2020. With the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, I decided to use my free time to catch up on my television shows, leading me to remember how much I enjoyed Sabrina’s Part 1 back in 2019. When I heard Part 4 would be the last season, I decided to get back into the show in order to see how it ends.

Stargirl 1x13 “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part Two” Episode Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

The Season 1 finale picked up where “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part One” left off, with the adults being mind-controlled and rewired to follow the New America way. The episode also opened with Courtney trying to break through Pat’s mind control, reminding him that she’s his daughter. The words came right out of her mouth, giving us a well-earned payoff on how far their father-daughter relationship developed over the course of this season.

Stargirl 1x12 “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part One” Episode Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

The Injustice Society’s plan to brainwash over a million people goes underway in the first part of the season finale. While this episode was mostly setting the table for the second part of the season finale, it was much-needed table setting to get everyone in place for what’s to come.

The Umbrella Academy Netflix Original Season 2 Review. Written by Aaron Ngo.

On July 31, 2020, I binge-watched The Umbrella Academy’s second season. I originally was going to pace myself over the August 1st weekend, but then somewhere along the way I decided to consume season two—all ten episodes—in one sitting. I had an amazing experience watching season two than I did season one, despite both seasons having the same basic premise: stopping the Apocalypse within a set number of days.
