Answerman - The Woes That Befall One Punch Man Season 3
One Punch Man is a classic example of what happens when good anime goes bad.
― Keen Foxxx asks: "I'd love to hear your thoughts on One Punch Man season 3. What's actually going on with the production? How can such a popular franchise face so many issues? Don't the people in charge realize the mess this creates and the potential financial and morale damage to staff for a series this beloved? I also h...
Pokémon Legends: Z-A Game Review
It’s a very different Pokémon experience, for better or for worse.
― Kalos is, by far, the Pokémon region most deserving of a Legends game. When X/Y came out in 2013, it was the first new generation of Pokémon not to get a third (or in the case of generation 5, third and fourth) game. This would later become the new normal for Pokémon of course, but that didn't even happen immediately following X/Y, ...

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk Volumes 2-8 Manga Review
In the Clear Moonlit Dusk feels like the sort of series I ought to be enjoying more than I am, which is an awkward position to be in.
― Mika Yamamori has proven over the course of her English-released series that you can't predict where her romances are going to go. Write off purportedly no-chance rivals at your peril and make assumptions about the trajectory of the story at your own risk; Yamamori i...
Detective Conan: Rivals Of The Great Detective Anime Series Review
I'm not sure if this was always the intention or if these episodes were a direct response to the first batch of episodes that TMS put out, but it looks like more episodes of Detective Conan have been adapted that now add some much-needed context.
― Those mad lads did it! I'm not sure if this was always the intention or if these episodes were a direct response to the first batch of episodes that TMS p...
A Special Evening with Ultraman

Touring After the Apocalypse Volume 2-3 Manga Review
Even after destruction, Japan’s tourist destinations are worth visiting.
― Upon reading Touring After The Apocalypse manga, I was immediately struck with a sense of familiarity. We've probably all read a few manga in which two girls scavenge for food and shelter after the end of the world, so my initial thought was that it felt like Girls Last Tour, with the same melancholy inevitability. More than t...
This Week in Games - Chuuni Corpses
The Corpse Party Tetralogy is dead in the water, and Yoko Taro's projects keep getting cancelled! Jean-Karlo looks into both plus live-action Zelda, a new Dark Souls book, and more.
― Welcome back, folks! By the time you read this, I'll have watched Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg at a local theater. I first heard of the movie 15 years ago (thank you, Grumpy Jii-san, I miss you), and was thoroughly convin...
