games

If you have been hankering to spend some time cruising the intergalactic highways and byways with Mario and Pals, these two games are essential experiences. ― I missed out on the Super Mario Galaxy duology back when they originally dropped because the Wii was the console that my younger siblings claimed as their own, and if I'm being honest, high-school James considered Nintendo platforms to be littl...

Answerman - Are Subtitles Getting Smaller?

Oct 27, 11:00

14 comments

anime

Is it your eyes, your TV, or Crunchyroll's business decisions making this season's subtitles a bit of a mess? Answerman digs in. ― A Reader asks: Q: "Is it just my eyes, or are subtitles getting smaller?" No, it's not your eyes. I have often thought the same thing, after my own traumatic experience managing the UK home video campaign of Evangelion 3.33: You (Cannot) Release. Sorry! What? That's not ...

Miru: Paths To My Future Anime Series Review

Oct 26, 12:00

1 comment

anime

Mostly, MIRU is a fairly disposable anthology, yet it is far better than I expected a corporate advertisement to be. ― Although initially released in Japan in April 2025, this five-episode sci-fi anthology oddity didn't show up to stream worldwide until late September. It allegedly appeared slightly earlier on Samsung's proprietary streaming platform in the US, but as probably only five people watche...

Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table Volume 1 Light Novel Review

Oct 24, 12:00

novels

It’s easy to see why this won the Excellence Award at the 18th MF Bunko J Light Novel Newcomer Awards in 2022, and why it’s getting an anime in 2026. ― Playing Death Games to put Food on the Table (henceforth DG) is far from the first time there's been a story about death games as a perverse form of entertainment for a shadowy group of elites who bankroll them. In fact, that's a major element of Squi...
