BNA Brand New Animal (Anime) Review
Change can be frightening, but it is inevitable. As scary as it sounds, it can also be incredibly exciting. You can discover something about yourself that you had never considered. We often do not choose when change happens and the only real choice left to us is learning how best to embrace it. Studio Trigger and Netflix have joined forces for their newest anime, BNA, or Brand New Animal. This exc...[Read More]

Persona 4 Golden Now Available Worldwide on PC
Earlier this week, we speculated on the rumors surrounding a reported Persona port. Originally releasing on PlayStation 2 in 2008, Atlus’ Persona 4 was a smash hit! This beloved 4th entry wowed JRPG fans worldwide. In 2012, Atlus re-released it as Persona 4 Golden on PlayStation Vita. This week saw many rumors, by many sources, pointing towards a potential PC release. Today’s PC Gamin...[Read More]
Arc of Alchemist (PlayStation 4) Review
You know something is wrong with a game when the last thing you write in your notes is “the soundtrack is the best part of this undeveloped, poorly plotted game.” Arc of Alchemist is a JRPG that lacks about as much entertainment and artistic value as it does alchemy. Mind you, alchemy never actually comes up in the game. While Arc is functionally playable, the unrefined controls, the hackneyed cha...[Read More]
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows (Xbox One) Review
In a world clouded in darkness and chaos reigns supreme, the world turns to its heroes to make their day brighter. Sadly, when those heroes fail or struggle to maintain peace, who does the world turn to? Who will rise to the occasion to become a new hero? Will it be your neighbor down the street? Your best friend? Or will it be you? The popular anime One-Punch Man focuses on this concept, where un...[Read More]
Granblue Fantasy: Versus (PS4) Review
Granblue Fantasy is apparently a super popular gacha game that released in 2014 and has since spun off into an anime and now a fighter made by the renowned Arc System Works. I’ll fully admit that I don’t know anything about Granblue Fantasy at all, but I play a lot of Dragalia Lost, which is an action RPG on my iPhone, and from what I’ve been told Cygames included a lot of Granbl...[Read More]
Kawaii Deathu Desu (Switch) Review
Kawaii Deathu Desu reflects the Japanese idol culture that it attempts to parody; the game is bland, unimaginative, only slightly self-aware, and yet pretty and strangely addictive. However, these are largely things to mock, not to emulate. Although the attempt at satire is apparent and some of the visuals are lovely, Kawaii Deathu Desu is dragged down by its uninspired controls and a system that ...[Read More]
My Hero One’s Justice 2 (Xbox One) Review
While many licensed games are proving that high quality and satisfying fan service can both be achieved in the same production, this has yet to be the norm. This conclusion was made painfully obvious during my time with My Hero One’s Justice 2 on the Xbox One. All things considered, I am in the target audience for this title. I love the My Hero Academia anime and I consider it one of the most hear...[Read More]
My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (Anime Review)
The young heroes of My Hero Academia, arguably the current biggest anime in the world, are back but does their second movie Heroes Rising go even further beyond?
Tanto Cuore (Tabletop) Review
Tanto Cuore (pronounced Tan-toe Coo-reh) is a two to four-player deck-builder card game from Japanime Games. It features cute anime maids that you hire and have serve you by giving you lots of love, some of them even stay in your chamber. Y’know, saying it out loud at all feels creepy, but this game is entirely innocent, I promise!
Weathering With You (Film) Review
Heartfelt stories seem to fit into the anime film medium really well and that trend continues with the anime feature film Weathering With You.
