anime
The 2008 TV anime of Hiro Arikawa's light novels finally makes it to English-speaking audiences and largely proves to be worth the wait...story-wise, anyway.

Aura: Koga Maryuin's Last War Blu-Ray
anime
Theron might not be quite won over by this feature-length film, a hard-edged chunibyo adventure that covers similar ground to Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions.

Review: Yakuza 5
games
The flaws and foibles of Yakuza 5's presentation aren't hurdles to jump, they're an inextricable part of what makes this game special.
― Yakuza is a hectic blend of the absurd, the melodramatic, and the mundane. In this bizarre world where even the loan sharks have a heart of gold--Sky Finance offers the best no-collateral, no-interest loan you'll get this side of Tom Nook--mafiosos spend as much tim...

A Silent Voice GN 4
anime
A Silent Voice retains its profound sensitivity of execution even as it takes some clumsy dramatic turns.
― It feels like A Silent Voice's density of heartwarming and agonizing moments must exceed the legal limits. The story is littered with so many deeply endearing or painfully true little details that even when it's going through a somewhat weaker dramatic arc, the reactions of the characters feel ...

Umi Monogatari DVD
anime
This magical girl-flavored 2009 fantasy series, a recent pick-up by Nozomi Entertainment, is wholly uninspired in its early stages but gets better as it goes along.
