Yakuza Kiwami 3 is More Than Just a Remake, And Dark Ties Proves it
One of the common criticisms of the original Yakuza 3 is that Mine didn't get enough screen time. Well, Dark Ties certainly remedies that.
― Sega and Ryu ga Gotoku have made sure that older games in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series are accessible to newer audiences. By remaking the first two games as Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2, as well as remastering the older PS3 titles, almost all of the game...

Mansect Manga Review
Mansect is way too gross out for me to feel comfortable freely recommending it to any horror-lovers out there.
― Have you ever read a manga and thought, “Oh, this one's for the sickos (complimentary)”? Because those were exactly the words that immediately appeared in my head upon finishing Mansect. Originally published in 1975, this classic horror manga isn't for the faint of heart when it comes to i...

Tiny Witch from the Deep Woods Volume 1 Novel Review
I certainly didn’t dislike the story, but it left me wishing there was something more substantive within its passages.
― The Tiny Witch from the Woods whizzes its way through its narrative in a manner that leaves no real impact on the reader. All of its attempts at establishing settings and characters are told so matter-of-factly that the story is robbed of any major intrigue or drama. I certainly di...

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Game Review
This game is a true labor of love from Final Fantasy Tactics' original creators, and it delivers a superlative refinement of one of the franchise's best entries.
― Final Fantasy Tactics holds that rare honor of being a relatively niche spinoff to a blockbuster gaming franchise that many fans would argue outdoes some of the series' most beloved main entries. Even 30 years ago, RPG fans knew that there...

Is Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Z-A the push console fence-sitters need to upgrade?
― This is the third year in a row I've been invited to Nintendo's Holiday Showcase event for Anime News Network — but my first year where the games on display are for the Nintendo Switch 2. I have yet to upgrade to Nintendo's latest console, and with the majority of games showcased h...
COMPASS2.0 ANIMATION PROJECT Anime Series Review
#COMPASS2.0 is a plate of saltines and unseasoned chicken that's cosplaying as an anime.
― If you're trying to review an anime, saying, "This just sucks," is the quick quip you might casually tell your friends if they ask your opinion, but that's probably the limit of its potential use. It gets your point across on a basic level, sure, but it's reductive, vague, and in the absence of further explanat...

The Worst Anime of Summer 2025
In a season full of great anime, we had to dig a bit deeper to find the clunkers; most of the series on this list are competent but otherwise dragged down by unlikable characters and tired, one-note jokes.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster Game Review
The greatest JRPG ever made, now in HD.
― I first realized that Bravely Default was a game that would forever change the JRPG genre during a battle with the Jabberwock, which is a dragon whose name is a direct reference to Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky poem. Though this boss fight was optional, it was part of a side quest to gain entry into the foreboding Vampire Castle, and getting into a place called...
