Grand Blue Dreaming Season Two Anime Series Review

Nov 25, 12:00

anime
Grand Blue Dreaming is back with a fiery, if not incredibly idiotic, vengeance. And I’m all for it. ― After seven years of being in limbo, Grand Blue Dreaming is back with a vengeance. Its second season is still as dude bro as ever, with its “beer and tits” style of slapstick littering practically every frame. You can almost imagine being in the frat house as you're watching it, with the room reeking...

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. When X/Y came out in 2013, it was the first new generation of Pokémon not to get a third (or in the case of generation 5, third and fourth) game. This would later become the new normal for Pokémon of course, but that didn't even happen immediately following X/Y, ...
