Seirei Gensouki - Spirit Chronicles Season 2 Anime Series Review

― With this second season, I am beginning to think that Yuri Kitayama's original light novel series is simply a poor fit for an animated adaptation. That's not necessarily because the story is a bit hackneyed; it is, but that's hardly the problem here. The gr...

Tying the Knot With an Amagami Sister Anime Series Review
There's no pretending this harem anime is particularly good, but it's rewarding to see it recover from a disastrous start and rise up to something decent.

This Week in Games - Super Fighting Robots
Jean-Karlo looks at the history of the Mega Man U.S. cartoon, the NIKKE mascot that has escaped gacha containment, and a new visual novel from Success!
