In this episode of After Hours Arc, I do a quick vibe check on some Spring releases and give my first impressions on what I’ve been watching.

I talk about Go For It, Nakamura, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and Erin the Southpaw, along with Witch Hat Atelier, which I’m still fully locked in on.

I also touch on starting My Dress-Up Darling, picking up Dr. Stone Season 2, and give a quick update on the website I’ve been building and some changes I’m making to older episodes.

In this episode of After Hours Arc, join me as I recap Episode 3 of Witch Hat Atelier, where Coco takes on her first major test at the Dadah Range.

What starts as a simple trial quickly turns dangerous, with limited tools, no experience, and Agott clearly expecting her to fail. Along the way, Coco struggles hard but eventually realizes her strength comes from her own drawing ability — something she’s been doing her whole life.

Using that, she finds a creative workaround, makes it to the top, and successfully retrieves the Diadem Herb, proving she belongs.

By the end, Coco officially becomes Qifrey's apprentice and receives her pointy hat all while the appearance of the masked witch hints that something bigger is just beginning 👀

In this episode of After Hours Arc, I finally dive into Season 1 of Dr. Stone — and honestly, I did not expect to get hooked like this.

We’re talking about a world where humanity is suddenly turned to stone… and 3,700 years later, civilization has completely reset. From there, we follow Senku, a science-obsessed genius, as he begins rebuilding the world from scratch — one invention at a time.

This is easily one of the smartest anime I’ve watched in a minute, and it gave me way more than I was expecting going in.

If you’re looking for a binge-worthy series with real progression and payoff, this might be it!
