Review: Mikunopolis in Los Angeles

The best concert films go out of their way to replicate the experience of actually attending the filmed event. While nothing will ever nail what it was like to hear the pounding speakers and experience an event with hundreds ...

Review: Blood-C

When I watched Blood C in Summer of 2011, I thought it was a show that had a lot of promise. It started out with the distinct feeling that something wasn't right in an idyllic town that was being pressed upon by nightmarish b...

Review: Kojiki by Keith Yatsuhashi

Kojiki is the title of an old Japanese text which attempts to explain where the islands of Japan came from. Among other things, it recounts the stories of the gods and their part in creating the land. I found that, while read...

Review: 100 YEN: The Japanese Arcade Experience

It's saddening to admit that because of my age, the arcade boom in the west was long over before I was playing games. The idea of hanging out in a smoky room filled with bleeps and hums may not be too appealing to most people...

A Look At: Ahoge Chanbara

Developed for iOS devices by M2, Ahoge Chanbara is a story of justice, love, and the ahoge way. It's a tale of revenge, redemption, and a stirring reminder of what makes us human. It's an experience that pats you lovingly on ...

Review: Ys I & II Chronicles+

You may not realize this, but Ys I & II are video game classics that the action RPGs of today owe a helluva lot to.  Up until XSEED's partnership with Falcom, the developers of Ys, North America's exposure to th...

Review: Devil Survivor Overclocked

Devil Survivor Overclocked has certainly seen a rocky release here in Europe, finally landing in the laps of desperate Atlus fans well over a year after the rest of the world. What's more, the eventual launch was hampered wit...

Review: A Certain Magical Index Season 1

Before I took on the task of watching A Certain Magical Index, I was told that the series evolves into one giant convoluted mess. With the exception of a few terms, the show’s first season doesn't feature anyt...

Review: Little Witch Academia

The Young Animator Training Project launched in 2010, designed to help push younger animators to stretch their muscles a bit and put their skills on display. This year's program, dubbed Anime Mirai 2013, featured entries from...

Import Review: Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney

Even after watching the end credits roll, it's hard to believe that Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney even exists. I don't think anybody could have ever expected Level-5 and Capcom to collaborate on a crossover game featuring ...

Import Review: Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods

I spent a good portion of my childhood devouring anything with the Dragon Ball Z brand on it. School would end, and I'd rush home to catch the latest episode of the Cell Saga on Cartoon Network's Toonami block. Everyday ...
