Splatoon Raiders Game Review

Aug 13, 12:00 games

As the first single-player-focused entry in the franchise, Splatoon Raiders hopes to bring in a new player base, but it may have lost some of its identity in the process. ― Splatoon was always a series that I had a fleeting interest in. With each new entry, I'd play it for a week or two before never coming back again. Granted, it's mainly because I'm not a multiplayer person, not because the games we...

Exploring the Character Dynamics Between Ritsu and the Band in BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA

Aug 12, 22:00

anime

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. It was a rocky road to get here, and there is no doubt that everything from now on will also not be smooth sailing. Ritsu is, after all, leaving behind an extremely dangerous dynamic with her previous group Fairy Bouquet and chief series antagonist Viola.

The Archduke's Adopted Saint Volume 1 K-Comics Review

Aug 12, 12:00 korean

It's a good thing that the book opens with a “chapter 0” that shows readers that things will, in fact, get better, because Dinah's life is pretty bleak. ― By this point in pop culture, we've all read about or watched time loops. The usual method for handling them (with, of course, some exceptions) is that the looping party eventually uses their knowledge to break the cycle or just becomes inured to t...

Aug 12, 09:00 anime

The series, adapted from the manga by Joumyaku and Mizuki Yoda, follows an assassin named G...

Rhythm Heaven Groove Game Review

Aug 11, 13:00 games

Is Rhythm Heaven Groove the best game in the series? No, but it's one heck of a runner-up. ― Rhythm Heaven Groove is a return to the Rhythm Heaven games of old—i.e., Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven, and Rhythm Heaven Fever. Gone is the attempt at story in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, and instead you simply work your way up columns of mini-games, clearing each to unlock the next. Rhythm Heaven Groove is massi...

The Ribbon Hero Anime Film Review

Aug 11, 12:00

anime

Stylish, well-choreographed, and featuring some excellent new character designs by Kei Mochizuki, there's nothing out there that looks quite like this film. ― It's hard to overstate the lasting influence of Osamu Tezuka's The Princess Knight. With the manga published between 1953–56 and an anime that aired from 1967–68, it's widely considered a foundational title for all things shojo, magical girl, a...

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun Volumes 17-20 Manga Review

Most of the misfits never even considered that there’d be a thirteenth member of the class, and that’s just how Soi Purson wants it. ― Sharp-eyed readers (and anime viewers) already knew that there was a thirteenth student in the Misfit Class. It makes sense even if you didn't spot the sleepy-eyed, bob-haired demon in the background: everything important in this series plays with the numbers thirteen...
