My Thoughts On "Dexter: Original Sin" Trailer

So here we are once again, "Dexter: Original Sin" trailer is among us now and coming out as soon as next month at the time of writing this (Nov. 29th, 2024) and *sigh* "Dexter" is not the franchise Showtime thinks it is, the premise of "Dexter" is very, very, simple, he's a serial killer that kills killers and the real gimmick of the show is how long can he do this before the gets caught...and unfortunately the original series answered this question (the answer being for a long freakin' time...because Miami Metro's Police Department has the intelligent of 2 rocks rattling around in a tin can...and one of those rocks is named Det. Quinn). And then the 2nd series "Dexter: New Blood" answered this question again, not very long as long as someone is paying attention, but that's the gimmick, how long can he keep this up. Since that question has been answered twice and in a definitive fashion, the need for a prequel series seems like putting a saddle on a dead horse in that Showtime is determined to ride our red-head human hacker to whatever dollar signs they believe are on the horizon.

Anime RE-Claimed:The Eminence In Shadow

When is an isekai not an isekai, or rather when is an isekai supposed to be an isekai? That's the questions I ask because when I think isekai I think of "a fish outta water" story where a character from one time or place has to adapt to another time or place BUT "The Eminence In Shadow" is more or less a parody of this and beyond. Minuro Kagenou was an unassuming young man in high school, just like anybody else, so normal was he that he was barely recognizable, HOWEVER, underneath Minuro's unassuming nature was a strength beyond comprehension as Minuro was actually something of a vigilante and not only that but freakishly strong, had a vast array of talents and abilities and was an expert in combat so apt that he was even able to go toe-to-toe with a former solider without suffering any damage. One fateful night while attempting to learn magic Minuro was struck by a vehicle (isn't it always) and was reborn in another world as Cid Kagenou. Now in a world filled with magic Cid continues his quest to become the Eminence In Shadow...but what does that even mean?
