The verdict
Season picksWorth a lookSummer 2026A monumentally influential 1995 shojo manga about a Japanese girl flung back to the ancient Hittite Empire, Inuyasha-style except it came out a year before Inuyasha. The long-awaited anime does not live up to that legendary status, but the quality of the writing shines through even at its jankiest.
