Clevatess -Majū no Ō to Akago to Shikabane no Yūsha- Manga Review

Sep 12, 12:00 manga

Even though Clevatess isn't covering new ground in these first handful of chapters, I was surprised at how invested I was by the time I reached my chapter quota. ― The presence of dark fantasy stories is vast.

I feel like having to play a game like Grand Bazaar for review does it a disservice, because the nature of playing a g...

Exit 8 Live-Action Movie Review

Sep 11, 12:00 live-action

Playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, Exit 8 turns the indie game into a stylish-but-not-very-substantial movie. ― If that plot summary looks minimal, that's because there's minimal plot to summarize here. In the 95 minutes it takes to watch the Exit 8 movie, you could complete two average-length play-throughs of its video game source material. If you're really good at the “spot-the-dif...

The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom is the sort of game you buy on sale. ― It used to be that anime series would be licensed without a whiff of possibility of our ever getting the source manga or light novels to read, to say nothing of the visual novels.
