Review: Yoshi's Woolly World
games
After two decades of mediocrity, Yoshi finally delivers a worthy follow-up to his most beloved classic.
― A personal litmus test for what makes a truly superb action/platform game is how memorable individual levels are. After all, when you're zipping through stage after stage, bouncing across dangling lifts and bopping bunches of enemies, things can start to blend together after a while. The best pla...
Please Twins! DVD
anime
One house, one guy, two girls, both claiming to be his long-lost twin sister. Spoiler alert: there are some sexy misunderstandings.
― Please Twins! Is the 2003 sequel to 2002's highly popular Please Teacher!, although in this case the term “sequel” is being used loosely. The story is set in the same location as its predecessor, with its events taking place about two years after Teacher started, and m...
Answerman - Why Are OVAs Formatted Like TV Episodes?
anime
OVAs are straight-to-video animation, so why are they frequently formatted exactly like television shows?
― Alec asks: I am a big fan of both Gunbuster and Diebuster and have noticed that both contain an opening video and framing for a commercial break. I am assuming that Diebuster was merely following the lead of Gunbuster in this regard. But as for Gunbuster, was this put in place in case it ever ...
Shelf Life - Don't Panic
anime
It's a bountiful cornucopia of this week's anime releases, plus fresh reviews of Argevollen and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu!
― I'm going to take a brief detour from my usual quips and observations to point out that the Mets and Cubs are playing one another for a shot at the World Series. I don't follow baseball as closely as I once did, but that's still an amazing clash of perpetual underdogs. If some...
K-ON! Season One Blu-Ray
anime
Fresh out on bluray, K-On! returns to enjoy a few more lazy afternoons, but does this recently-minted classic series hold up in 2015?
― So here it is. The big moe specter, that harbinger of slice of life disaster, K-On! Considering the show's reputation as Patient Zero for a specific commercial trend, you'd almost expect the show itself to be either magnificent or terrible - after all, depending on y...
Design Your Own Brave - Winners!
anime
Here they are! The winners! Three very creative entries for original braves that caught the judges' eyes. Congratulations to the winners!
― Our contest has come to a close and we'd like to send out a big thank you to everyone who participated in our Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers - Design Your Own Brave contest! We were very impressed with everyone's creativity and skills, and it was clear that we ...
The Mike Toole Show - It's Always Tsuneo
anime
Mike takes a grand tour through the work of the late great Tsuneo Kobayashi, he of Midori Days, Twelve Kingdoms and Naruto -The Last- fame.
― It's getting to be that creepy time of year when I put “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett on repeat. Halloween and the Day of the Dead are closing in, so what better time to do a big list of spooky, scary anime—hey wait a minute, I hate making lists like t...
QQ Sweeper GN 1
manga
Kyousuke Motomi is back with a new series that has a much more supernatural plot than her previous ones.
― Kyousuke Motomi, author of Beast Master and Dengeki Daisy, is back with a new, much more supernatural series, continuing Viz's new(ish) trend of publishing a mangaka's latest work right after they finish with the previous title. It's a treat for fans of Motomi's work, and while QQ Sweeper's firs...
The List - 7 Vampires That Don't Suck
anime
Okay, so, they do, technically - they ARE still blood-drinking children of the night - but we mean 'suck' in the pejorative sense.
― Bram Stoker's Dracula and F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu immortalized vampires in the public consciousness as dangerous, shape-shifting monsters living off the lifeblood of virginal humans. Sexually-charged metaphors aside, some theories have argued that the legends are mere...
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz!
anime
A classic example of what happens when a series tries to be something it isn't, and thus for more than half of its run basically ignores what is actually the strength of this branch of the franchise.
― So is there some contest going on in Japan to see who can come up with the most awkward way to name a sequel series? Really, simply putting a 3 after the title, when it is the third series in this bran...
