All You Need Is Kill Anime Film Review

Jun 19, 12:00

1 comment

anime

manga

Outsiders is a book that should have been better. ― Does this sound familiar? A teenage girl with a sense of being disaffected and socially dislocated, one day discovers that there's a whole supernatural world right under her nose, and becomes involved with a hot werewolf and a handsome vampire. It's not just Twilight that uses that setup, although it probably remains the most famous example of the p...

games

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is the gold standard that all PS2 remasters need to adhere to. ― Originally a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei series, Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army separates itself from Atlus's other games. One aspect is that the story's tone sits between Shin Megami Tensei and Persona's. It's not as apocalyptic as Shin Megami Tensei, but y...

anime

Nonsensical as this twenty-episode fever-dream of a show is, I can’t deny the potency of its mad imagery. ― After finishing the second half of LIDEN FILMS utterly inscrutable anime adaptation of Tow Ubukata's Bye Bye, Earth novel series, I had to lie down for an hour so that my poor, confused brain could attempt to parse all that it had experienced. I don't know whether that helped, but the color-dre...
