At long last, we the sports draft-like season announcements are over! Or are they? For those who haven't heard the news, Crunchyroll and Funimation are partnering up, sharing some of their exclusive titles to each other's service. What does this mean? Well, next season, you might be able to watch Classicaloid, a zany anime centered around mecha battling space historical composers reincarnated back from...

Here's a series I picked up late into the season, hence it's omission from the Midseason review. I watched the first episode out of interest but it didn't stick. Little would I know that it'd be very similar to the situation I had with Sakamoto – the first episode doesn't really do the series justice. It's kind of fitting, really, as the series...

Well, the new information about the latest in the long series of Pokemon games is here. Not a lot, but there's supposed to be some more at E3, where the Treehouse will be showing it off, along with whatever the new Zelda is. News from serebii, and stuff The Pokemon Company dropped. ...

We're donning a brand new coat of paint! The blog has really been needing a new look for quite some time now to be honest. The previous design was from at least 5-6 years ago and it's aesthetics haven't aged very well with me. This new minimalist design, coupled with that totally rad header I made really gives this place a nice, cleaner...

We're more or less half way done with the Spring season now, so I thought I'd do another check in to write about how things are going with the half dozen show's I'm watching. So far, I'd say this was a really solid season - I definitely had some worries going into it, as nothing stood out much, but boy was I wrong....

July 15th. That's when Generations drops. It's a little later than I expected, as I predicted a late June release, though to be honest, the July release wasn't too far off. With Anime Revolution in the first week of August, I think I'll be able to get decent enough to show some moves in multiplayer when the con rolls around. I suspect that...

We're a week or two into the new Spring season, and I'm back to do my usual first impressions of the stuff I've watched. The list has changed a bit since I first put up my anticipated list, with a couple falling off the list, and another sneaking it's way on.  So far, it's been pretty good. Sakamoto's first episode was fabulous and...

Dark Souls has always fascinated me with it's designs. Everything generally looks and feels coherent and well thought out. Things are grotesque, and yet have an air of majesty to them. The art book goes into more detail about the designs of enemies, armour and locations in the game. Anywho, what better way to celebrate the beautiful designs of Dark Souls, than to...

I recently wrote up a short list of series airing in the Spring, but there are a few other titles airing this year that I'm really looking forward to. A few of them are guaranteed watches, unless they end up on platforms I can't watch them on, though I'm certain that at least 1 of them is going to make it onto Crunchyroll....

Source With March approaching it's final days, the Spring season is upon us! This year's bounty is quite varied, ranging from Asterisk Wars to Ushio to Tora 2 (there weren't any series past "U"). Anyways, I've made of a list, separated into "Will Watch / Looking forwards to", and "Check this out maybe". My choices aren't exactly inspired, but they definitely line up...

Welcome back to Salty Huntin', a series where I rant about dumb stuff that's in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. It's a great game, but riles me up so much when the game doesn't do things I want it to, or when monsters have advantages against a majority of the weapon types. What monster effectively shuts down 9 of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate's 14...

Welcome to what's hopefully to become somewhat long running series. Here I'm planning to write some reviews of some games I've enjoyed on the 3DS as the system turns 5 years old. A lot of these games will be pretty old, some from the system's early line up, and some released last month. It's not a comprehensive list of what's good on the...

For a good while, I've had this idea kicking around in my head. I absolutely sure that I'm not the think of this, what if it we took the creatures of Monster Hunter, and strapped them into the Pokemon molds? Since Pokemon is celebrating 20 years, I thought "why not put a Pokemon spin on Monster Hunter?". I've tried to incorporate the "signature...

At the moment, the many monsters of the Monster Hunter are categorized  by their general physical characteristics. Taking a quick look at any of the monsters, you'd be able to generally put them into the right "classes". However, some of those matches don't work out particularly well, while there are some classes that have seemingly been created for a single monster (here's looking...

Hey, hi, hello and WELCOME to the Winter 2016 reviews, taking place MID-SEASON, skipping over the usual tradition of doing a "preview review" or first impressions type of piece. Outside of being too lazy for it, there's an actual reason for that. I only picked up 2 series at the beginning of the season and felt that writing about 2 series was more...

Yes, yes it's super late. The story goes like this: I actually managed to finish it just as the season ended but when I went to maximize the window (I work with multiple windows on screen), the page crashed and I was left with literally nothing. Nada. Zip. Not even the labels or title stuck. The draft I saved? Gone. I was perplexed...
