Tokyo Ghoul - Complete Series - 10th Anniversary Box Set Anime Series Review

Feb 25, 12:00

6 comments

anime

Like Kaneki, the Tokyo Ghoul anime is a messy hybrid, with one-half of its adaptation feeling like the product of unfulfilled ambition, while the other feels hollow. ― It's been over 10 years since Tokyo Ghoul first came onto the anime scene, and in that time, it has managed to leave a strong impression. Sui Ishida's original manga has been a critical and commercial success domestically and abroad. W...

Macross -Shooting Insight- Game Review

games

While the storied franchise has finally taken flight around the world, this shoot ’em up seems to be drifting out of formation. ― During Otakon back in 2023, I narrowly missed my opportunity to play an early build of Macross -Shooting Insight-. However, impressions were generally positive (if not a touch mixed) from those who did get a little hands-on time with the game. After a handful of delays, th...

Saban finds an ally in Margaret Loesch, helping to bring in a new wave of transforming heroes to kids. The success would open new doors for anime in the West as the media mogul's ventures take over Fox Kids. ― Striking Gold With Costumed Heroes Moving into the 1990s, Saban Entertainment would begin their relationship with the burgeoning Fox Kids block being helmed by Margaret Loesch, an executive pro...

games

GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- is the gold standard of combining style and substance. ― Suppose you're not super into fighting games. In that case, you'd be forgiven for guessing that fighting game players would probably love the Nintendo Switch—after all, what community is known more for feeling passionate about finding a way to make a tournament work anywhere at any time than the fighting game community? The...

Monster Hunter Wilds Game Review

Feb 24, 10:00

5 comments

games

Wilds is a solid evolution of the franchise, and while its innovations don’t change too much of the core experience, sometimes it's fine to just get a bigger version of what’s come before. ― For a long time, Monster Hunter was one of those franchises that looked cool, but felt a bit too intimidating for me to actually get into. I dipped my toes into Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii back in the day, but ...

Blue Miburo Episodes 1-12 Anime Series Review

Feb 23, 12:00

anime

The plot hasn’t developed in any particularly interesting ways, to the point it’s hard to write anything positive about the show. ― The Bakumatsu period, the final years of the Edo period, was an era of great social change and should be a fertile choice to set a historical drama. The mid-1800s brought an end to the Tokugawa Shogunate, a mode of government that had persisted over 250 years, while also...

Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc Season 1 Anime Series Review

I think there are a lot of anime fans—a lot of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure fans, in particular—who would love Kinnikuman if they only gave it a try. ― A few months ago, when FLOW was on their world tour, I went to one of the shows. At one point, after having played several familiar hits, the band asked excitedly, “WHO HERE LIKES KINNIKUMAN!!” For the uninitiated, FLOW did the opening song to this first ...
