Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid (Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon) dodges its way into my heart this week as Kobayashi preps Kanna for school. It also ducks, dips, dives, and dodges its way through some great comedy and animation in the second half.

Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid Ep.3 Review: Family and Home

The Founder Review: Golden Crisp and Cold Blooded

In his first return to the Fringe in eight years, Paul Matwychuk presents an autobiographical monologue filled with absurd content that contrast with his average-everyday-guy persona in a riotous, but pensive way. Mexican Blindness is a great trip.
Fringe 2013: Bad Guys Finish First review
