This week on High Kick, we’re on a rollercoaster of love for some of our characters from the early stages of infatuation, to a little bit of heartbreak.

Week 3! High Kick 3 is continuing along nicely. I don’t watch it expecting to laugh out loud, although it’s been managing a nicely light, humorous tone. But where it really shines is in the poignant character beats, the stuff that happens between plot points when a connection is made, a friendship struck. Best of... More »

Ah, the family tree/relationship chart is out for High Kick! Counterattack of the Short Legs, which is great for getting a quick overview of the cast/family structure.
