Pokémon Legends: Z-A Game Review

Nov 24, 12:00 games

It’s a very different Pokémon experience, for better or for worse. ― Kalos is, by far, the Pokémon region most deserving of a Legends game.

This would later become the new normal for Pokémon of course, but that didn't even happen immediately following X/Y, ...

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk feels like the sort of series I ought to be enjoying more than I am, which is an awkward position to be in. ― Mika Yamamori has proven over the course of her English-released series that you can't predict where her romances are going to go. Write off purportedly no-chance rivals at your peril and make assumptions about the trajectory of the story at your own risk; Yamamori i...

Touring After the Apocalypse Volume 2-3 Manga Review

Nov 21, 12:00 manga

Even after destruction, Japan’s tourist destinations are worth visiting. ― Upon reading Touring After The Apocalypse manga, I was immediately struck with a sense of familiarity. We've probably all read a few manga in which two girls scavenge for food and shelter after the end of the world, so my initial thought was that it felt like Girls Last Tour, with the same melancholy inevitability. More than t...
