MARRIAGETOXIN Volume 2-11 Manga Review

Mar 4, 12:00

manga

For a series with the word TOXIN in the title, this series is anything but TOXIC. ― When I reviewed the first volume of MARRIAGETOXIN, I wrote it off as a fairly solid action series with a very lovable lead. The idea of a socially awkward yet incredibly capable assassin willingly throwing himself into harm's way for the sake of protecting his sister was a solid setup, and I very much thought that the...

Dynasty Warriors Origins: Visions of Four Heroes Game DLC Review

Mar 3, 12:00 games

Visions of Four Heroes is really good in unexpected ways, but fails to deliver what I really wanted. ― Dynasty Warriors Origins: Visions of Four Heroes is a conflicted DLC that somehow manages to overdeliver and miss the mark all at once. I'm going to be blunt: this DLC was not at all what I expected. I very much enjoyed the base game of Origins, which was a robust and modern take on a franchise that...

What we got certainly wasn't bad, but it was also fairly forgettable, and for a new interpretation of an old classic, it's hard to think of a more disappointing outcome than that. ― I walked away from the first half of the Cat's Eye remake feeling mostly unimpressed, as the combination of its bland capers and even blander central romance didn't leave a whole lot to latch onto. To its credit, the seco...

At its heart, this is a romp of a story about an atypical young lady bulldozing her way through the world. ― If I had to sum Always a Catch up in the easiest way possible, I would say that it's May I Ask for One Final Thing? but with a heroine who is as goofy as possible. Like Scarlet, Maria “Mimi” Annovazzi is as strong as she can be and has an incredible skill for punching people, but she lacks Sca...
