A deadly virus. A secret facility. And a LOT of thorns.
This week on the K J and A Podcast, we sit down to talk about King of Thorn, the 2010 sci-fi horror anime film streaming on Crunchyroll.
What starts as a survival horror quickly spirals into a psychological deep dive filled with monsters, twin trauma, experimental science, and “wait… what’s even real anymore?” moments.
In this episode we cover:
-
A full breakdown of the movie’s plot (with spoilers)
-
Our honest reactions to the characters, pacing, and twist reveals
-
The major themes: memory, grief, identity, and the Medusa virus
-
How it compares to movies like Inception, Paprika, or Resident Evil
-
Whether we’d recommend it, and what kind of viewer it’s for
If you love anime that makes you ask “What the hell just happened… but in a good way,” this one’s for you.
