Are there any series that have actual satisfying endings? Jerome looks into it. ― Timoshī Kurachitto asks: "What anime series really do deliver satisfying endings? Can you name me any?" Endings are difficult in anime storytelling. Many of the biggest series are adaptations of serialized manga, where editors don't like hit series to ever end. Sometimes the mangaka takes a hiatus mid-run and never ret...

Milano's Odd Job Collection Game Review

Dec 8, 03:01 games

This is a game that feels like it's doing everything that it wanted to do, but on the surface, it's very nature does make it hard to recommend to people. ― Boy, kids were definitely built differently in Japan during 1999. Back then I was an annoying seven-year-old who could barely tie his shoes. But here? Milano is doing everything from making pastries to milking flying cows at the ripe old age of el...

If I could just figure out the message behind all of the fires, I feel like I’d be a step closer to solving the mystery, and that’s either a brilliant use of a red (hot) herring or a carefully seeded clue. ― How do the puzzle pieces fit together? Like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, unraveling a mystery story involves finding the ways the nubs and gaps line up, and in many cases, we find ourselves ...

Persona 3 Reload's bones are nearly 20 years old, but it easily competes with or beats many modern titles for sheer depth, beauty, and fun. ― I have agonized over the review of Persona 3 Reload like almost no other video game piece I have written, and as such, this review comes quite a ways after its release on the Switch 2.

Alchemy may not turn lead into gold, but in Hool!gans it turns a lot of people into dust. ― Well, that sure was a lot of things exploding. Sometimes it even had a reason.
