Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right Manga Volume 1 Review
Everything is focused on Luna and her day-to-day school life with her willing blood-bag Ootori.
― Vampires and anime, eh? An eclectic selection of anime shows feature vampiric protagonists, from the classic (Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing) to the more recent, but superb (Call of the Night), and the appallingly dreadful, best left forgotten (Vlad Love). Worryingly, the manga Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck R...
Dragon Ball Genkishin Squadra Game Review
I wish the character selection didn't feel so random or that the rewards were actually worth the grind. It makes me wonder exactly how long this game's shelf life is going to be.
― There have been a lot more of these real-time strategy action games popping up in the past couple of years. Honestly, it's a little shocking that it took Dragon Ball this long to jump on the trend. Having a simple team-bas...
PREVIEW: Digimon Story: Time Stranger Bares its Brave Heart
Never mind monster-taming, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is shaping up to be a great RPG, period.
― Bandai Namco has made Digimon Story: Time Stranger impossible to ignore, promoting the game as much as they can. If you haven't seen any of the many videos highlighting specific Digimon and their unique special moves, you've at least seen the news about Digi-riding. We were granted permission by Bandai ...
Villains are Destined to Die Volume 1 Novel Review
Oh, no, I’m sure some of you are thinking. Not another villainess isekai set in the world of an otome game.
― Oh, no, I'm sure some of you are thinking. Not another villainess isekai set in the world of an otome game. I can't blame you. Villainess isekai has become nearly as oversaturated as isekai power fantasies, as ubiquitous as pink-haired heroines and mysterious transfer students. But please, be...

― Mister Terrific asks: "Is superhero burnout at the box office affecting anime films?" Superhero fatigue* is real. Just take a look at the summer 2024 box office results for Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, The Fantastic Four, and James Gunn's Superman, which I must admit, I really enjoyed. *Su...

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court Anime Series Review
In many ways, the show accomplishes everything it wants to, but I don't think there's much to this compared to other slice-of-life shows
― Some shows try to replicate a very specific experience. When I was in high school, whenever my friends and I would finish up with classes, we would always go to the local deli or a card shop one or two train stops away from our school. After a long day of dealing ...

Shuten Order Game Review
Two-thirds of it range from good to excellent… but in a 60-hour game, that still means around 20 hours of mediocre-to-bad gameplay.
― I'm far from an expert on this particular matter, but I'm not sure there's any game out there that's quite like Shuten Order. Created by Kazutaka Kodaka of Danganronpa and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy fame, it is at its heart a visual novel, first and foremos...
