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. But now we've come to the point where we're likely to get at least one version in English. The Villainess is Adored by th...

In our interview with creator Yūji Kaku, we learn that every character has a "bad end" route, even protagonist Gabimaru. ― Hells Paradise captured the hearts of many people thanks to its unique setting, likable characters, and gorgeous animation.

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...

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...

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...
