Albright of Texas declared Texas law HB900 (House Bill 900, also known as READER), an act that would require any vendor who wishes to sell books to Texas schools to provide sexual explicitness level ratings, unconstitutional in a written opinion filed on September 18.

Whether its isekai or a villainess redemption story, Rebecca Silverman will help you choose your next light novel!
The Fall 2023 Light Novel Guide is sponsored by Yen Press!― By this point in light novel history, a few genres are entrenched. Chief among them? Isekai and villainess
stories, and both of those are represented here. But far more interesting is the fact that this span of
months has mor...
The games have been played, the news has been announced, and the cosplayers enjoyed one more day of cosplaying at the Tokyo Game Show 2023― The games have been played, the news has been announced, and the cosplayers enjoyed one more day of cosplaying at the Tokyo Game Show 2023. Are there some familiar faces? Sure. But why settle for dressing up as one character for two days? Or hanging with the sam...
The hot and humid Japanese summer gave way to a cool but still humid autumn on the Autumnal Equinox. To celebrate the Japanese national holiday, cosplayers from around Japan gathered at Makuhari Messe for Tokyo Game Show 2023.― Just like clockwork, the hot and humid Japanese summer gave way to a cool but still humid autumn on the Autumnal Equinox. To celebrate the Japanese national holiday, cosplaye...
It's a week of shake-ups in the gaming industry as Platinum Games and Sony see off Hideki Kamiya and Jim Ryan. Plus: CAPCOM president Haruhiro Tsujimoto thinks games are due for another price hike.― Once again, I'd like to thank my readers who thought of me amidst the Izuna news last week. I appreciate being thought of like that. I like it when friends think of me when they see stuff they know I lik...
What should be a raucous action-comedy can quickly become an obnoxious headache that constantly smirks at its reliance on stock tropes― Classroom for Heroes has two primary ways of operating: fast and loud, often concurrently. Whether introducing new characters, throwing jokes at the wall, or even transitioning between scenes, the show is always trying to grab your attention. On the one hand, that's...
Kobayashi discussed the evolution of Ragna and the vocal challenges of bringing those subtle shifts to life.― At Anime Expo 2023, Anime News Network was able to sit down and talk with voice actor Chiaki Kobayashi about his role as the titular Ragna in upcoming anime Ragna Crimson. They're keeping you busy at Anime Expo this year! Have you been able to have fun in Los Angeles in your
spare time? Chi...
While the manga is ongoing, Graduation feels like a farewell, using its final moments to reminisce about our main couple's romantic journey as they walk the halls of their school one last time.― To call Graduation a movie is a bit generous. Even with the inclusion of the Hirano and Kagiura short, this thing just barely reaches an hour with credits. Since it also inherits the slow, vignette-based pac...
If a stealth ensemble comedy that occasionally turns into mech action is your bag, Noir is a great time.― The biggest worry with mixed media promotions like Synduality is that they'll be lazy, incomprehensible advertisements for some other part of the nascent franchise. While there are some late-game allusions and even cameos from the story of the Synduality: Echo of Ada, everything you need to know...
The manga guide is complete with over 40 new series released from September to November! Which manga looks the most promising?― Welcome to Anime News Network's Fall 2023 Manga Guide!

The last Sonic games I played were back in the 1990s, when the processing was a blast and Genesis was the bad-boy of the gaming industry. Now, with Sonic Superstars, I can relive those carefree days.― The last Sonic games I played were back in the 1990s, when the processing was a blast and Genesis was the bad-boy of the gaming industry. Now, with Sonic Superstars, I can relive those carefree days. T...
A little over twenty-five years ago, Square Enix released the relatively popular Star Ocean: The Second Story. Now this November, Square Enix will release a remake and it's just as fun as it was all those years ago.― A little over twenty-five years ago, Square-Enix released the relatively popular Star Ocean: The Second Story. Now this November, Square-Enix will release a remake and it's just as fun ...
Do you agree with not making Nezuko a playable character?― Mario Party but with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba characters? Sign me up. It's almost surprising how few Demon Slayer video games exist. There is the canceled mobile game Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba—The Hinokami Chronicles from 2021. Now Sega is adding one more to the library of Demon Slayer games with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swe...
Having played it, I want to romance more hostesses, I mean, explore the world of Like a Dragon.― The new 2023 Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) game, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, has you exploring a rich gangsters paradise. Thankfully, the only valley you're looking at isn't death but a beautiful woman's bosom. Or at least that's what this man did at the Tokyo Game Show 2023 demo...
If ever there was a shooter game I wanted to play in the past decade, Foamstars is it.― Splatoon is the king of third-person area-control shooter games right now. But there's a new challenger on the horizon with Square-Enix's Foamstars. In 2015, Nintendo revolutionized the third-person arena shooter game genre by turning it into an area control game. Rather than eliminating players and trying to rac...
Despite a control handicap, our reviewer was most impressed by the game's world and the satisfaction of blowing things up.― After the massive success that was Dragon Ball, manga author Akira Toriyama penned a few more short-lived series in Weekly Shonen Jump. Of those series, the 2000 series Sand Land got the anime movie treatment in 2023. Along with the movie, a video game was developed for multipl...
Rather than the stereotypical dapper or gruff-looking Japanese gangster, we mostly see stereotypical American gangster types. Of course, as the setting is Hawaii, those gangsters are more of a brah than thugs.― Why limit yourself to beating up Japanese thugs and delinquents in the Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) video games? The 2024 Like a Dragon game, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth lets you beat u...
For a first attempt at a dungeon crawler, Silent Hope does a stellar job of capturing what makes these games so addicting.― First and foremost, Rune Factory and Story of Seasons fans need to be aware that Silent Hope is not a farming game. Yes, those are Story of Seasons cows roaming around the hub, and farming and cooking are important systems. The main weapon types in this game even call back to t...
Her name is Megumin. She is the beloved heroine of KONOSUBA, and now the star of her own spin-off series. We asked series composition writer Makoto Uezu about the objectives and appeal of this spin-off.― Her name is Megumin. She is the beloved heroine of KonoSuba, and now the star of her own spin-off series.
We asked series composition writer Makoto Uezu about the objectives and appeal of this spin-...
The biggest addition to the game is the new “simple” controls. While the normal controls can still be used, the “simple” control format makes the game insanely easy to pick up and play.― It's been eight years since the last game in the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm series, and while the upcoming Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections may mostly be what you'd expect from the newest iteratio...
