Beast of Reincarnation Game Review

games

While Beast of Reincarnation doesn't quite reach the heights of its truly brilliant inspirations, it still accomplishes more than enough to prove itself as a genuinely excellent game in its own right. ― NieR: Automata is a top contender for my favorite video game of all time, so I am of two minds when I see some of these more recent games that are so clearly inspired and influenced by it. On the one ...

Echoes of Aincrad: Sword Art Online Game Review

games

At the end of the day, while Echoes of Aincrad was an easy game for me to play and enjoy, it is a difficult product to recommend without including some major caveats. ― I have to admit that I have maybe been too hard on Sword Art Online. In the 2010s, I was still finishing up college; I had only just recently gotten back into anime, and fancied myself quite the S.A.O. hater. Back then, it was easy to...

anime

There’s a difference between “being real” with your audience and calling a rant your motivational speech. ― If there's one type of story I'm quite fond of, it's stories about other artists. From Look Back to Blue Period, they often serve as a window into the creative's mind. If “write what you know” is practically law, this is just taking that literally. And while that could come off snobby, recent t...

While the main plot of this cour is largely wrapped up in finding Cure Éclair, it also has time to discuss the role of partners and friends. ― Did you figure out who Cure Éclair is before the reveal in episode twenty-five? Whether you did or not, there's no denying that the publicized hunt for her identity was a very smart marketing move on the part of Toei. It recognized that for many mystery fans –...

Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk Anime Series Review

Jul 31, 12:00

anime

More than just alcohol, this anime indulges in a cinematic style that makes for an absolutely sublime watch. ― On paper, Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk sounds like a very tired concept: another round of cute girls going to tourist destinations together, with globs of yuri mixed in for some additional flavoring. And let's 80 proof it by making alcohol a gimmick here. In the wrong hands, this ...

Like many people, I've been keeping my ears open regarding the new Project R.E.D. series, Kakusei Hunter Omegahorn. It's very unique as a tokusatsu series; our protagonist summons giant kaiju to fight each other, while summoning other kaiju (and his spaceship) to serve as extra weapons. It...

It's official! As of the sixth episode of BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA, Ritsu will be joining her childhood friend Arale and the other members of MewType in the band. Ritsu is leaving behind an extremely dangerous dynamic with her previous group Fairy Bouquet and chief series antagonist Viola, which can and will spell conflict going forward, but it also means that Ritsu now has a whole new group of decidedly more accommodating associates.
