Saga of Tanya the Evil: Operation Desert Pasta
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: Although essentially a filler, with the events not playing particular role in the progress of the story, “Saga of Tanya the Evil: Operation Desert Pasta” works well as a reminder that the franchise still exists, retaining the hope that we will see a second season finally at some point.
Willow and Wu
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Willow and Wu” is a very appealing short that manages to tell a full story in rather economical and entertaining fashion. I think Meng is ready to transition to features, as I think she would be quite good in a family drama.
