Trigun Stargaze Aims for the Stars: Episode 1-2 Review

Oct 16, 16:30 anime

The first episode's premiere ends up being a set-up appetizer for the rib-eye steak of its second episode, which knocks it out of the park. ― “Love and Peace,” hollered scores of Vash cosplayers at the Trigun Stargaze panel at New York Comic Con, hosted by Crunchyroll. That's a lofty dream for the much-beloved pacifist gunslinger, Vash the Stampede, in the desert Noman's Land. At the panel, the Trig...

Let's Go Karaoke! Anime Series Review

Oct 16, 12:00 anime

I’m just amazed by how much you could squeeze out of this bizarre premise. ― Let's Go Karaoke! is a series that succeeds in making the unbelievable believable. It's a comedy at heart, yet the bond between its two unlikely leads makes for melodrama that's both kitschy and effective. Who'd'a thunk that the best way to overcome your musical failures and teen angst was by teaching a yakuza member how to ...

Oct 15, 12:00 manga

Who will find the blue-eyed white sauvignon blanc? ― We last left Shizuku and Issei facing a challenge from a secret cabal of wine experts whose self-appointed role is to preserve Yutaka Kanzaki's true goal – the perfection of the “mariage” of wine and food. In Volume two, to be seen as worthy of the challenge of finding “The Drops of God,” Issei and Shizuku must first pass a preliminary test, consis...

This game will cling to the darkest corners of my nightmares for a very long time to come. ― I have been a Silent Hill fan all of my life, and I have just recently completed my project of replaying and recording every single game in the franchise (well, except for Silent Hill: Book of Memories, since my PlayStation Vita broke years ago). That said, for as much as I absolutely adore Bloober Team's re...

A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 Anime Series Review

Oct 13, 12:00

anime

It’s a colorful, comforting anime that requires minimal brain power to consume. ― For me, A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 is like “Sunk Cost Fallacy: The Anime.” I enjoyed the far-fetched and dumb, but sweet, twenty-four-episode first season, and found myself sleepwalking into the second out of a misplaced sense of duty. Like many long-running anime romcoms, the “plot progression,” if one could even des...
