I Left My A-Rank Party Season 1 Anime Review

Aug 2, 12:00

3 comments

anime

This is a show where the first half definitely stands out more to me because of its found family theme and the fact that the character dynamics were put more front and center. But unfortunately, we began to lose steam by the second half. ― I will admit, sometimes I'll enjoy a good isekai or generic fantasy story because I need something to play in the background while I'm doing other work.

There's no extended prologue or even much of a summary. One of the first screens you see once you boot up this game for the first time is you're thrown into a fight with a simple command list in the ...

Maebashi Witches Anime Series Review

The real secret sauce of Maebashi Witches is that it fearlessly tackles thorny topics with an uncommon degree of sensitivity. ― Maebashi Witches is a “just trust me” anime. The premiere is much clumsier than I would like, and to be frank with you, I bounced off it when I first watched it. Among the chaotic mélange of a motormouth heroine, wisecracking mascot, local Maebashi landmarks, bizarre aesthet...

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Game Review

Jul 30, 11:00 games

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound brings the gory franchise back to its 2D roots in a fun way. ― Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound feels like a game straight out from the 1980s and 90s, especially with its story and higher difficulty threshold. The game's plot is rather one-note, with Kenji vowing to take revenge on the demons and Kumori attempting to double-cross the Demon Lord. Eventually, both Kenji and Kumori develo...
