This month’s episode is another ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) title for episodes where I go back and watch an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. Halloween is just around the corner, and that means lots of media that feature vampires, ghosts, and....mermaids??? How’s that for a unique Halloween viewing choice? This month, I revisit the 1993 OAV Mermaid’s Scar.
