I’m sorry guys, I know a lot of you LOVE this game. Full disclosure, I’ve only played one route so maybe I’ll end up loving this game as well, but so far, I just can’t get into it and there are a few glaring issues. Let me first say that I like otome. I like…
Kirishima is a name that is both known and feared in Japon’s underworld. The first lieutenant of the Sakuragi Yakuza Family has well earned his nickname of The Demon of Sakuragi. He might not be great at remembering names or faces or running simple errands, but if you need someone to keep your rivals in…
Shinozaki-kun no Mente Jijou or The Everyday Maintenance of Shinozaki-kun is my latest random manga discovery and I am really digging it. There is a genre called High Fantasy and I’ll be completely honest with you, I never looked up the actual definition. It gets associated with Tolkien a lot, so I always just assumed…
This week I watched Play It Cool, Guys right after a particularly intense episode of To Your Eternity and let me tell you this show is an amazing palette cleanser. Even if you’re not watching it now, if in the future you watch a really emotionally draining series and you need a little anime just…
First the Forgers, now the Phonys, do you think anyone is ever going to get intrigued by these family names? I was going to say that at least Forger seems like a real name but I decided to look it up first. I used LinkedIn and there are a ton of Forgers on there, it’s…
It turns out the official title of this episode is “Betrayed”. I swear I had already picked my post title when I saw it. It’s just that this episode was very specific and there’s little else you could call it. Except for maybe “Luck”. Buckle in, this episode was quite a ride!
Guys, remind me to not read the manga first I’m also going to do episode reviews of a show. I guess that’s the wrong way around. By the time I decide to do episode reviews, it will be too late. You know what, I,m sure you’ll figure it out. I’m counting on you!
With the latest popular gyaru anime like My Dress-up Darling or More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers, there is no way you haven’t heard the word gyaru yet. These anime’s attractive gyaru girls made sure that viewers got familiar with and perhaps even admirers of the gyaru subculture. But what does the term…
If you follow a certain wonderful blogger called Lita then you may already be aware of this situation. As I write this, I have been dealing with two consecutive rounds of websites “borrowing” my work. And that’s just the ones I know about. The ones too lazy to copy-paste are even formatted so they leave…
It’s really hard to stand out as an idol group these days, There are just so many talented young idols out there. You probably haven’t even heard of 99% of them. and that’s ok. I,m not saying this to make you feel bad. It’s perfectly normal. Like I said, there are so many talented idols…
Warp is a blonde boy with a hole in his belly, a hole in his memories, and maybe even a hole in his heart. He just doesn’t know who he is anymore or what he wants other than getting his memories back, maybe. And in a world where both bodies and experiences can be bought…
This isn’t going to be one of those posts. You know, to the point and informative! Pffth, anyone can enjoy reading one of those posts! No, no, this post is more of a challenge for the intrepid reader. It’s winy and confusing, even potentially pointless. It’s a Journey!
Have I mentioned how much of a challenge writing episode reviews for Play it Cool, Guys, is? It’s an enjoyable challenge that I look forward to each week, but a challenge nevertheless. Not only is this a show where almost nothing happens but it’s also a short program, so almost nothing happens for a brief…
Oh me oh my. This is a whole different type of trouble now. We haven’t quite seen this type of conflict in Spy x Family before. Normally, I would say no one stands a chance against Yor but this…. it’s just not the kind of battle Yor is used to fighting. She’s not trained for…
Well, they’re just rewriting all the rules in To Your Eternity all of a sudden. I’m not against it. It’s certainly ambitious to introduce so many paradigm-shifting ideas in the span of two episodes but it can be invigorating. This said it can also turn out to be a disaster if they don’t know how…
