This week: A look at the darker turns of Gust’s new action-RPG! Plus arcade comebacks, Fire Emblem fallout, and a long-lost relic of the 1990s! ― I came down with a stomach virus last week, and it made me think about the mixed blessing of staying home sick when I was a kid.

Bokurano

anime

Bokurano tells a gripping and inspiring story of human conviction in spite of its messy animation problems. ― I'd been meaning to watch Bokurano for a while before it fortuitously popped up on Crunchyroll.

Justin considers the possibilities. ― Carl asks: I was wondering why light novels and visual novels haven't caught on in the US the way Anime and Manga have.

Inio Asano's sexually explicit tale of two depressed middle schoolers seeking solace in each other is haunting in its depiction of teenage depression and what its protagonists do to try and cope with it. ― Here's your warning before we discuss the book: this is a very sexually explicit manga, so if that makes you uncomfortable, A Girl on the Shore is not going to be the book for you.
