Utawarerumono is a favorite of mine. Mask of Truth in particular is perhaps my favorite VN that I can't really recommend- primarily because the prequel is mandatory. Said prequel- Mask of Deception- d ...

"schadenfreude"

Man... Where did you pull that word from?

From Germany. That said, I don't think it is a particularly uncommon word in English diction. Mostly because there's no good e ...

I do continually get stuck on the collar- both symbolically, and because it looks so uncomfortable. Since it got disarmed and de-magicked, just melt it down and re-cast it as a bracelet or something. ...

I complained about the length of the flashbacks last week. I stand by that. This week? No notes. Absolutely excellent. Yes, they were utilized- but much more sparsely so it didn't break the flow. Saku ...

I dunno why you put them up on a pedestal there: FFT and Tactics Ogre had the exact same issues- if not worse. Outside your core group, and events very disconnected from the main narrative, side chara ...

I'm going to be direct- "I hope x game does poorly", purely because you don't like it (no business model hijinks or major performance mishaps,) is not harsh. Its poor taste, foolish, and inc ...

I don't love lengthy flashbacks mid-fight. I don't have an issue with the content or the relevance here, I just think it ruins the pacing. Which is a shame- I was loving the fight. Sakura needing to a ...

Man, of the two in the double kickstarter Penny Blood was far more interesting to me than Armed Fantasia (which I felt drifted a little more from the Wild West ideas that I loved in its predecessor se ...

The show, to me, has one big issue- the pacing. Unfortunately, so many issues spring into place because of the horrific pacing that the show seems riddled with flaws. Lack of an emotional core? Check. ...

Oof. Big oof. I wouldn't normally comment that I'm dropping a show- its not an airport, etc- but this has been a remarkably frustrating show. I had been hanging on to the idea that the story was good, ...

The problem with Nen Impact's graphical quality isn't the visuals themselves, but the knock-on effects that looking "cheap" may have. If people aren't buying it, aren't hooked in enough to g ...

Coming out of last episode, I wanted to see some good fights. We...sorta got that? The animation was still good (at least to my eye.) The "fights" were less an exchange, and more a statement ...

Huh, there not being a single post for this show is a bit of a surprise. Archdemon is not anime of the season or anything but it is a pretty compelling story of two broken people healing and growing t ...

Hey now, that's my fastidious robot son that you're besmirching, right there. He's a good boy, okay!?
I liked Chadley in Remake just fine...but like many good things, a little can go a very long way.

For the love of Minerva, can we please get less Chadley in the next one?

I like a lot of the narrative shifts and inclusions. I'm not sure on the ending- my opinion on it is kinda dependent on wha ...
