Kakegurui GN 1
manga
While you wait around for Netflix to finally release this season's anime adaptation of Kakegurui, Rebecca Silverman can tell you whether the original psychosexual gambling manga is worth reading!
― Do you like to take risks? We're not talking “eat the expired leftovers” type risks, though – more like a “wager $40 million that eating the expired leftovers won't make you sick” situation. If that sounds...

― This column was originally published on May 30, 2015. Dogs may be man's best friend, but it's cats that rule the internet. Scientists have gone so far as trying to classify the key qualities that make up "cat people" and "dog people." Male cat ...

novels
Spice and Wolf returns after five years for a collection of follow-up short stories, which serve as a bridge to the new upcoming spin-off. Theron Martin has the details.

Tokyo Ghoul (Live-Action Film)
live-action
Tokyo Ghoul makes the jump from manga to anime to a live-action film. Does the original story's spirit survive the translation? Gabriella Ekens finds out.
― Tokyo Ghoul has been one of the biggest manga hits of the past few years. As these big hits often do, the franchise recently received a live action film adaptation. These types of movies have been a mixed bag in the past, so I didn't harbor many ...
Answerman - Why Are Anime Soundtracks Missing Songs?
anime
Every now and then you'll buy an anime soundtrack and it turns out to be missing one or two tracks you were counting on - why does that happen? Justin explains.
― Pearl asks: Sometimes I wait months for the release of a certain anime soundtrack just to hear one specific piece of BGM, only to find that it's nowhere to be found on the disc! For example, Yona of the Dawn has several tracks that are mis...

Black Butler: The Movie BD+DVD
live-action
Can this much darker live-action re-imagining capture the campy magic of the original series? Rose Bridges finds out if this Black Butler movie's got enough bite to be worth a taste.
― You can tell just from that synopsis that we're not in standard Black Butler territory anymore. This live-action film departs from the source material in its very first scene, plunging us into modern-day Japan rather t...

Sword Oratoria: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
anime
Is this Aiz-focused spinoff worth watching, or does drifting too far from the main story take us too far away from what makes it special? Theron Martin has the answers for devoted DanMachi fans.
― The Sword Oratoria anime is based on a light novel series that is a concurrently-published spin-off of, and complement to, DanMachi, in much the same way that A Certain Scientific Railgun is related to A Ce...
