Welcome to our fishery. Old Two Cut Tuna. Named because we always take two slices out for ourselves. It’s a tradition we started since we did manga reviews. At least that’s what we’d like to be called if we did guided fishing tours. Having seen the cost of boats and fuel, we’ll stick to manga reviews. With that, we have two like we often do.

Open the hatch. Seriously, it’s damp down here at the bottom of the ocean and a bit cold. Plus we just saw bits of the Titan sub go floating by. We don’t want to have to wade through anymore of the compressed people bits than may exist already. The cleverer of you may have sussed out that the oceanic intro signals a water based movie. Which brings us to a Norwiegian film, Kraken[2026].

Things are better in twos. Four wheels good? Two wheels better. Four legs good? Two legs better. That’s why our reviews come in pairs. At least for the manga. The movies are a whole other ball game inside a kettle of fish. Are we mixing metaphors and aphorisms? You betcha, because that’s two and two is better.

Two is better than one, at least when it comes to coatings. You need a nice solid clear coat to protect your paint. And to keep that nice and safe, you should apply a nice sacrificial coating like wax. Our manga reviews are like that wax, our sacrifice for your entertainment. Going so far as to take on manga that’s requested as well.
