Pragmata Game Review
I welcome any high-budget, high-production value, mostly linear experience with a clear story to tell that clocks out right on time.
― Pragmata is a game that, despite my best efforts and the quality on offer, I never could get into the groove with. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful game that makes a lot of noble attempts at novel design. First, the priors. Pragmata is a third-person action game with som...

A New Dawn Anime Film Review
There's a sense of invention permeating through A New Dawn's various experiments with visual languages of animation.
― Perhaps there's a certain irony in a story about a fireworks factory mostly keeping away from explosive drama. Yoshitoshi Shinomiya's lowkey feature directorial debut A New Dawn is at the very least visually captivating, comprised of lush and rather hypnotic production design. The st...

The Ghost In The Shell (TV Event Preview) Anime Review

It's a bona fide phenomenon, with influence beyond the realms of manga and animation. Although every version so...
