Welcome, all, again. Today's discussion will focus upon The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, a quiet isekai offering one of the least flamboyant--yet one of the most solidly constructed--storylines ...
Welcome, all, again. Our last discussion concerned a dark plot by an abused healer to remake his world, so I thought a much lighter take on world conquest might ...
Welcome, all, again. 2020 was a rough year the world over, and almost everyone I know is feeling lingering effects in some way. I myself lost relatives, coworkers, ...

Welcome, all, again. This last was a slow viewing season for me, with my favorite genre (slice-of-life) severely underrepresented. Only three new shows managed to catch my interest, ...

Welcome, all, again. Today let's talk about Princess Connect! Re: Dive, a show that can be kind of hard to pin down: it's comedy; it's adventure; it's bodaciously harem! ...

Welcome, all, again. I recently raided my backlog of series-to-be-watched and pulled out 2011's Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl--literally pulled it out of my DVD collection, where it's lingered ...

In 2008, Valkyria Chronicles launched on PS3 to critical acclaim. Critics agreed that it's strategy RPG gameplay was a unique treat not to be missed. Now, 8 years later, after recently relaunching on Steam, it's found its way to the PlayStation 4. It's also found its way into my hands for the first time, after years of being curious about it.

There was something about walking into the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel, AWA's host hotel, and seeing the hotel staff wearing anime wigs and huge smiles.

Imagine this: you're in the middle of a high-speed dogfight, your ally ahead of you taking on heavy fire. Thinking quickly, you leap from your own cockpit, sending out your grappling-arm to latch on and zoom toward your ally's jet, climbing atop it and shooting.

Some of my earliest memories are of playing one of the Metal Slug games in a Chuck E. Cheese's. Oh wait, that was actually only like 3 years ago. But that won't stop me from being nostalgically excited for Bullet Bros!

The worlds of Jonathan Coulton's songs have collided into one action-packed comic series. There's sure to be plenty of nods familiar to people who follow Coulton's music, but is there anything for the average comic reader?

Today, dear readers, I am going to talk to you about my favorite game in my PS2 library. Yes, I love it even more than Mister Mosquito.

Hi, I'm Siege, and I'm a poor college student. I can't even afford to buy real people food like eggs and caviar. So I've been thinking: I should find a way to make money. I see the kids these days talking about how much they like anime. I could make an anime, I think.
