Eiga Odekake Kozame Tokai no Otomodachi Anime Film Review

Sep 27, 12:00 anime
Eiga Odekake Kozame Tokai no Otomodachi a wonderful watch on a lazy afternoon or a film to watch with children. ― There is no better way to say it, I love Eiga Odekake Kozame Tokai no Otomodachi. It shares the same charm of the manga and ONA series, with a series of delightful short stories following the titular character Kozame-chan on a big adventure in a city (presumably Tokyo). Layered on top of ...

May I Ask for One Final Thing? Volume 1 Manga Review

Sometimes you just want to see a perfectly prim Victorian-style lady haul back and beat someone's face in, all safely within the realm of fiction. ― By this point in pop culture history, we've probably all sat through as many villainess denunciation scenes as we can stomach. The story beats are as familiar as the back of your hand – the prim and proper, highly-ranked fiancée of a prince or similarly ...

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is More Than Just a Remake, And Dark Ties Proves it

Sep 25, 14:04

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 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)”?

Originally published in 1975, this classic horror manga isn't for the faint of heart when it comes to i...

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.
