In this episode of After Hours Arc, join me in starting our Summer recaps off right! BLACK TORCH is here and I think it was a fantastic first episode!

From an intense battle with a Mononoke to getting ambushed by the Bureau of Espionage and all the amazing and artistic animation that literally exceeding any expectations I could have had.
