That's the best one-word description we can give for Adult Swim & Director Sunghoo Park's (God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen) Ninja Kamui All "Joe Logan" wanted was a quiet family life with his wife & son, and that's exactly what he was enjoying – until some vengeance-seeking ninjas brought it all to a bloody[...]

With all due respect to FOX's Bob's Burgers, Netflix's Entergalactic, Adult Swim's Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, and FOX's The Simpsons, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty S06E04: "Night Family" (directed by Jacob Hair and written by Rob Schrab) deserved the Emmy for Best Animated Series – but it wasn't to be, with The Simpsons' 983rd "Treehouse of[...]
