The This Week in Anime column shifts from Korean to Japanese dramas, surveying seven titles now streaming on Netflix and HBO Max. Coop and Sylvia land on Baby Assassins Everyday! as the smoothest watch of the bunch, praising Kensuke Sonomura's action direction and the chemistry between Saori Izawa and Akari Takaishi. Unnatural's opening episode, they note, is anything but comfort food. The rest of the slate, including Doctor-X, Miss King, Cinderella Closet, Beautiful Life, and Rikuoh, streams on Netflix.
