While it's not a truly bad game, Yoshi's New Island just really isn't much fun to actually play. In trying to make Yoshi's Island again, Arzest has made a game that can't hold a candle to the nearly two-decade-old original visually or creatively.

Log Horizon Episodes 13-25 Streaming

Even though the show overall is kind of shaggy and rough around the edges, there's enough intelligence and quiet iconoclasm on display here to officially graduate Horizon from "good enough" to plain old good.

Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust Blu-Ray

Apr 20, 11:52

Battles are fought as much through blackjack as with weapons in this final installment of the cyberpunk movie trilogy. A great heroine, tense card-playing scenes, and much more nastiness carries the story through to its only reasonable conclusion.

Attack on Titan episodes 1-5 (English Dub)

Apr 18, 13:32

It's not flawless, but Attack on Titan's dub is raw in the best way, successful at yanking out heartstrings and more impressively, maintaining the show's healthy sense of humor. The end result is one of the strongest dubs heard in many years.

Yamato 2199 starts with a slow burn, but as the titular space battleship rises into space, the series finds its stride and only gains momentum.
