Hunter X Hunter displays every strong aspect of anime out there. Compelling characters, a gripping plot, a well written power system, and beautiful animation.

One of the most anticipated and ambitious video-game titles in the history of gaming is Elden Ring. FromSoft has a great discography and the newest addition has finally arrived in 2022.

A personal favorite here at Jack vs the World, Bojack Horseman is among great best TV currently has to offer. The show touches on many deep, dark, and compelling issues experienced throughout life. This brooding serious nature is often contracted by goofy visuals and puns that would make even the most seasoned "dad joke" father roll his eyes.

This episode is not for the faint of heart... The horror genre is a very interesting corner of the movie industry. Horror is not often highly regarded. The genre can be polarizing and more often than not highly inaccessible for younger audiences. However, when movies hit the perfect amount of dread and narrative driven ghost stories, horror can be fantastic. Do the Conjuring films achieve this though? Find out what we think of the three Conjuring movies right here on Jack Vs The World.
Currently, we are in a booming Era for anime. Anime has never been as popular and widespread as it is today.

And how has the show progressed into today's climate of incredible anime? Find out what we think on this episode of Jack Vs The World!
