    On the same day that I watched all 10 episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Arise – Alternative Architecture, I then watched this movie that came out last year, that pretty much acts as the cap to the story told in the Arise series. That means that if you like the series, you absolutely need…

    With all the hype surrounding Civil War, I decided to revisit this, and found myself enjoying it much more than I remember liking it the first time around. Sure, Batroc with a Quebec accent still bugs me to no end, and I still think Scarlett Johansson is goddawful as the Black Widow, but the rest…

    I was absolutely obsessed with this series today, and ended up binging all 10 episodes today. As for what this is, it takes the four Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVAs (original video animation) and re-edits them into a TV series, then adding another 2 new episodes to conclude the storyline (although, it’s really Ghost…

    Since yesterday I read the first 5 volumes of this series, and I just can’t stop (I think there’s close to 20 volumes out at this point). I actually did read the first 3 volumes or so a few years ago, but that was all that was out at that point, and then I never…

    Even though I’m playing Dark Souls III right now, I’m not really that into the series (it kicks my ass so hard), but I was really curious about Nioh, Koei Tecmo’s attempt at a Dark Souls-like game. I dig the feudal Japan setting, and the combat system is interesting and different enough from the DS…

  • The Legend of Korra (Game)

    As I wrote the other day, I started watching the Legend of Korra series recently, and I’m enjoying it so far (6 episodes in). I remember that when the Korra game came out a while back, although it looked great – and it has Platinum Studios behind it (I love the Bayonetta games to death)…

    I’ve now played through the first two Assassin’s Creed Chronicles games (China and India), and so I’ve now hit Russia. I’ve only played the first level or two, but so far I’m really digging the black and white and red aesthetic the game has – I’m finding it much more visually appealing than India. With…

    I’m back at it, back in that nasty Dark Souls world, trying miserably to get through a game in a series that just keeps kicking my ass. The best experience I’ve had playing a Dark Souls game was the first one, with a friend sitting next to me and guiding me through what I should…

    My wife is a huge fan of the original Gundam series, and she really wanted to watch this new OVA series (2 episodes are out, with the 3rd one out next month) and so we watched it together, even though I know next to nothing about the series (I keep meaning to watch that original…

    Did the season premiere live up to the hype? Well, it was fun to be in that world again, no matter how interesting the episode ended up being. Sure, I would have liked more development in regards to my namesake (is he fucking dead or what), but I don’t know how much we could expect…
