         <description><![CDATA[<div>It's been two years since the CCG declared war on the ghouls of Anteiku, leading to unprecedented carnage on both sides that left everyone scattered in the aftermath. Most of the city's ghouls have become quiet after suffering such crippling losses, but a few still terrorize Tokyo at night, most notably the relentless Aogiri Tree creeps. Fortunately, there's a new team of doves on the scene to handle the most violent threats, hybridized ghouls like Kaneki who wield kagune of their own instead of relying on quinques. But what they offer in firepower, this team of "Quinx" lacks in teamwork. These desperate youngsters who've already lost everything would rather compete with one another than follow the orders of their gentle and reticent squad leader, Haise Sasaki. All that changes, however, when an S-class ghoul surprises them during a hunt, and Sasaki must step up to protect his underlings without giving in to the darkness that almost consumed him back when he went by a completely different name. <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20173"><strong><em>Tokyo Ghoul:re</em></strong></a> is based on a manga and <a href="https://www.funimation.com/shows/tokyo-ghoul/">streams on Funimation</a> and <a href="https://www.hulu.com/tokyo-ghoul">Hulu</a>, Tuesdays at 11:00 AM EST.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The world's most famous thief is back – again! In this episode, Lupin sniffs out a fresh source of income - jacking the digital profits from a pack of dark web drug dealers who distribute narcotics online via an illegal marketplace called Marco Polo. It might be digital cash this time, but there's still a safe – in this case, a fortress-like cloud server in the middle of the ocean – and there's still a key, namely Ami, the hacker who built Marco Polo's payment systems. Lupin's ready to do what it takes to get her to open up, but she's already about to crack – and requests the legendary thief's aid in her escape. <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20555"><strong><em>Lupin the Third: Part 5</em></strong></a> <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/lupin-the-3rd-part-5/">streams on Crunchyroll</a>, Tuesdays at 2:30 PM EST.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the not too distant future, boxing has become a sport enhanced by “Gear,” machine exoskeletons worn over the shoulders and arms to allow boxers to punch farther and harder than before. Known as “Megalobox,” the sport is popular as both a regular sporting event and as one during which underground bets are laid, with dramatic differences between the fanbases. Junk Dog, a young Megaloboxer, is struggling both to make a name for himself in the underground fights as well as with whether he's really happy with his current situation. When he hears that the upscale Shirato Group is sponsoring a worldwide Megaloboxing tournament in a special arena, he's largely ambivalent, seeing it as both not worth it and beyond his grasp. But he's getting tired of the rigged fights he's forced to participate in. Then he encounters Yuri, the reigning champ of the sport, and might change his mind.<br><strong>Opening Theme:</strong>"Bite" by LEO Imai</div><div><strong>Ending Theme:</strong>"Kakatte koi yo" (かかってこいよ; Come to Me) by Emi Nakamura</div>]]></description>

These space colonies where split into two countries with opposing government organizations called the Galactic Empire--an autocracy--and the Free Galaxy Alliance--a democracy.

At the end of the eighth century in the space calendar, history begins to chance due to the appearance of two people: the invincible genius Reinhard von Lohengramm, and the never-losing magus Yang Wen-Li. With each controlling an opposing force, they find themselves clashing again and again.<br><strong>Opening Theme:</strong>"Binary Star" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] with Uru</div><div><strong>Ending Theme:</strong>"Wish" by ELISA</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div> <br>Dreams are among the most difficult stories to relate. To the dreamer, they seem utterly fascinating and replete with important symbols and information. To their unfortunate audience, they often feel like boring nonsense tales, to be suffered through with the occasional “uh huh,” until the dreamer can be guided to another subject. That hasn't stopped numerous authors from tackling the subject with varying degrees of success – from <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5624">Lewis Carroll</a> to Jorge Luis Borges, dreams have played a thematic role in many works of literature. The novelization of the PC game <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=20216"><em>Yume Nikki</em></a>, <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=20214"><em>Yume Nikki - I Am Not in Your Dream</em></a>, is well aware of this, making frequent mention of Carroll and founding psychologists Freud and Jung as it tells its scattered tale.Obviously this sets the book apart from most of the Japanese novels published here as light novels. Although it is still relatively faithful to the format – illustrated and without a daunting vocabulary – it's also very clearly aimed at an older audience who may or may not have played the original game. (As a point of interest, as of this writing the game is available for free on <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15875">Steam</a>.) This doesn't necessarily mean that you need to have a working knowledge of dream theory or of Jung's work with the idea of conscious and subconscious, because the novel does a credible job of explaining both of those things for a casual audience, but you probably will want to have read <em>Through the Looking-Glass</em> or at least be up on who the Red Queen is. (Hint: she's not the Queen of Hearts.) Author Akira uses Carroll's second <em>Alice</em> novel as a sort of guidepost for their story, using Alice's time on the other side of the mirror as a metaphor for what dreaming is like: a sort of reverse of the waking world filled with vaguely familiar and yet unsettlingly odd things and people. It works for the most part, especially if you consider the unnamed narrator of <em>Yume Nikki</em> to be equivalent to the White Knight in Carroll's book, particularly as the story goes on. Interestingly enough, Carroll isn't the only Victorian children's author to be referenced in the text, although the second goes uncredited: George MacDonald's 1874 fantasy <em>The Princess and the Goblin</em> (recently republished by <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=5286">Seven Seas</a>) features a scene where the hero repeatedly tries awaking from his dream only to find that he's woken into yet another dream, a recurring issue for the protagonist of Akira's work.The book itself is not a particularly easy read, which feels as if it may be intentional. It is divided into three nearly equal sections, all told by the same narrator but using different narrative styles. The entire book is written in the present tense, which adds to the basic immediacy of the dream world, and the first part is told in second person – “you.” This is not an easy style to write in, although perhaps more so in Japanese than in English, but it's an excellent way to open the book. It immediately places us within an otherwise difficult story, giving the reader the impression that it is <em>their</em> dream being explored, which does away with some of the difficulties inherent in the dream narrative. It also makes the shift to the immediate first person narration of the second part feel strangely distant – instead of reading about ourselves, we're suddenly reading about someone <em>following</em> us, which helps to make the story much creepier. The third part is more or less identical to the second in its style, but it becomes more immediate to the narrator, so that we're essentially retreating further and further from ourselves as subject as the book goes on. Given that the novel is very much interested in exploring the anxieties and fears that our minds give voice to through dreams, this both makes sense and is effective as we finally find out, if not the full identity of the dreamer, then at least what is behind the series of dreams we see through her eyes.At times the novel does get far too involved in its own psychoanalysis, which can be grating, and some of the symbolism feels far too fabricated to really work with the themes Akira is trying to use. That may be due to the fact that it is an adaptation, and therefore beholden to some of the game's imagery; it could also be overambition on the part of the author. More interesting is the way the author (and translator/adapter) manage to mimic the flow of Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges' writing, most specifically of his short story “August 25, 1983.” It isn't particularly surprising to see in a dream novel, given the fact that Borges was a noted writer of both dream stories and journals, and Akira seems to work from the idea that he stated in a 1977 talk on dreams: “We do not know exactly what happens during dreams: it is not impossible that during dreams we are in heaven, we are in 🤬.”Whether or not you've played the original game, <em>Yume Nikki - I Am Not in Your Dream</em> is a strange, fascinating novel. At times a bit too pretentious, it mostly manages to capture the strangeness of dreaming and the anxieties that can cause dreams and nightmares to be indistinguishable. It's not the kind of light reading you'd normally expect from a <a href="https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15174">J-Novel Club</a> release, but it's an interesting journey beyond the looking-glass nonetheless. <br><strong>Grade:</strong> <br>Overall : B+Story <br> Story: B+<br>Art  : B-<br>+ Interesting use of references and writing style. Strange and fascinating.<br>− At times too pretentious or too caught up in its own psychoanalysis.</div>]]></description>
