Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos Game Review

Feb 8, 12:00

5 comments

games

I had a decent amount of fun riding around power-sliding through goofy dog slimes and the game never takes itself too seriously to get upset about the shallow plot or simple visuals. ― Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos is one of the stranger games that I've reviewed here for ANN. As far as Neptunia goes, it's something of an institution at this point. Starting back in 2010 on the Playstation 3, the series fo...

The number one thing this book taught me was that making homemade ramen isn’t nearly as difficult as I always assumed it would be. ― Has any singular food been made to look more great more often in anime than ramen? Naruto, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Ponyo, Ramen Akaneko, Food Wars—the list of anime that are notable for having excellent looking ramen can go on, and on, and on. And even ...

anime

Director Naoya shares the reasoning behind some of the anime's story changes and how the team brought Köinzell's vengeance to life. ― Etorouji Shiono's Ubel Blatt manga may seem like an odd choice for a contemporary anime adaptation at first blush - the series was serialized between 2004 and 2019, and it definitely retains the feel of its era of dark fantasy with its grimdark qualities and moments of...

Days With My Stepsister Anime Series Review

Despite its run-of-the-mill storyline, there is a surprisingly cinematic style to it that makes it stand out among other romance stories of its ilk. ― With a title like Days With My Stepsister, you might already expect how this story will unfold. But this is just at first glance. Despite the tale dipping its feet into the taboo waters of NBR relationships, the anime does what it can to subvert its g...

All of the routes are very enjoyable, bittersweet in good ways, and even the ones I didn't expect to like, such as tsundere Serge, I ended up enjoying. ― You have to speak two languages to understand the title of Genso Manège, but there's no denying that it suits the game well. “Genso” in Japanese roughly means “dreamlike,” while “manège” is French for carousel, so the title can be translated as “Dre...
