Princess Principal ends in such a way that if there isn’t an OVA or sequel planned, then it would mean we have been hoodwinked.
Knights & Magic ends just as the way you’d think it would. There are no twists, shocking moments or anything. Just more glory for Ernie’s legacy.

Gotham returns and there doesn’t seem much reason to give be excited. Besides Jerome eventually coming back.

Watching Channel Zero: No-End House is like being a kid and watching a sport you enjoy vs. playing it. It’s mostly boring, with a few moments of excitement, but ultimately a lackluster experience.
Faith, money, morals, and understanding. Four words which are the themes as temptation lurks about and few can say they are truly holier than thou on Greenleaf.
