While Tonbo! isn’t an outright terrible show, it fails at making golf feel exciting and giving the audience much outside of that, both of which make for one of the dullest sports anime I’ve ever sat through.― There are two things that I should probably mention here. The first is that I'm not much of a sports guy. I don't dislike sports per se, and I enjoy watching football and basketball games on oc...
Jean-Karlo levels with the audience about supposed Dragon Quest censorship, catches up on Tokyo Game Show announcements, and celebrates Monolith's 25th anniversary.― Welcome back, folks! I had a great time at Portland Retro Game Expo last week. We had a weird bit where someone triggered the fire alarm, and we had to wait outside for a few minutes, but it was a great time overall. I got to meet some ...
Go! Princess Pretty Cure is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, seasons to be officially released in English.― With this second half of Go! Princess Pretty Cure, one thing becomes obvious: Haruka is a pillar of strength. While she didn't necessarily demonstrate that concretely in the first half, we can now see that she was internalizing a lot of what she learned and is now ready to share it ...

At turns utterly hilarious, before quickly becoming unbelievably tense and dramatic, I was never once bored by The Fable, even sometimes forgetting how ghastly the animation was.― What is it about manga featuring ex-criminals attempting to go straight that attracts anime productions with such terrible animation quality? 2021's The Way of the Househusband became meme-worthy for its almost total absen...

The special will be based on Tomohito Ōsaki's One Piece novel Mugiwa...

Sure, you could play as Goku but why not play as the world's most popular hero, Mr. Satan?― Like clockwork, another Dragon Ball fighting game is being released with Dragon Ball! Sparking: Zero. For a novice Dragon Ball fighting game player such as myself, it appears on the surface not much has changed. But with a little help from the Tokyo Game Show 2024 staff, I was able to navigate some of the new...
Big fan of the Peanuts gang? Discover how Snoopy’s creator, Charles M. Schulz’s love for art at a young age led to his career drawing a comic strip known by every American household.― Despite growing up with the Peanuts comic strip and owning a minimum of five pieces of Snoopy merchandise, I admittedly knew very little about Charles M. Schulz prior to reading this manga biography. During San Diego C...
New systems and a bigger focus on story might just be enough to draw back in this lapsed Monster Hunter player.― The Monster Hunter game series is fascinating to me. It's a game that's designed around the grind of hunting or capturing monsters so you can use their body parts to make better weapons and armor so you can hunt even tougher monsters. It's as if you grind for the sake of grinding and noth...
This the TGS 2024 demo was fast and fun for even the most casual fan.― Sonic is back with his edgelord rival Shadow in Sonic X Shadow Generations. I'm a lapsed and casual Sonic fan in that I've played some levels from the older Sonic games, namely Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, and Sonic: Adventure, about once every 3-5 years, and I have a blast every time. But I generally stick with the titular chara...
This new game takes fans to Alvarez arc and beyond.― In 2022, Fairy Tail fans were graced with the Koei Tecmo game FAIRY TAIL. Loosely following the story of the anime and manga of the same name, it was met with relative praise. However, with the manga series ending in 2017 and anime in 2019, there was still a bit of story for a video game adaptation of the series to explore. Now, in December 2024 w...
It's in the combat where some of the absurdity of Pirate Yakuza starts to shine.― And here I was always wondering if ninja-pirates or pirate-ninjas were stronger. Turns out the real answer is pirate-yakuza. In 2024, fans of the Like a Dragon franchise once again took on the role of Ichiban Kasuga and were transported to the foreign local of Hawaii in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. So what if the Li...
