Gamera -Rebirth- Anime Series Review

Sep 26, 12:00 anime

It's a shame that the ugliness of Gamera -Rebirth-'s visuals will likely turn away a good many potential fans because underneath all of that jank is a solid kaiju adventure. ― It's been a long time since us kaiju fans have gotten any new Gamera material to sink our beaks into — the last live-action film, Gamera the Brave, came out nearly twenty years ago, and it's been nearly thirty years since the c...

Popucom is Puyo Puyo Meets Splatoon

The TGS Popucom demo was a super fun and silly vertical slice showing off all the basic mechanics that will be expanded upon in the full game. ― At Tokyo Game Show 2023, I was able to get some hands-on time with Popucom, the new game from the studio behind Arknights.

Macross: Shooting Insight Hands-On: A Solid SHMUP With Rocking Music

Sep 23, 08:25 games

The main thing that makes Macross: Shooting Insight special is the IP. ― Back in the mid-90s, I was a die-hard Robotech fan. It was one of the few anime airing on TV at the time and, in an era where it regularly cost $35 for two episodes of anime on VHS, it was awesome to have such a long, complex series to watch. Of course, as I grew older, I learned about both the original Macross anime and its var...
