Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and its sequel (Kai) are the best horror themed anything (anime, real life, whatever) that I’ve ever seen. They do the creepiness, the gore, the horror all very well, but what I think makes it stand out from everything else, is how they develop their characters and make you feel [...]
This is bound to make it back in a favorites post at some point in the future, but I really like the new ED. It’s called Trust You by Yuna Ito. The song’s got a simultaneously somber, yet hopeful sound, which fits the show really well (plus no engrish!). And the producers do another great [...]
I know the “It’s pretty good” line isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by it. Hyakko was one of the fall shows that I put on hold, because I had too much on my plate and it seemed like your pretty standard, high-school slice of life centered around a few girls.
I’ve been thinking about doing a post about my favorite 5 or so OPs and EDs, but then I thought, why limit it to 5? It changes as new shows come out, and as I check out older shows I’ve missed out on. So I figured I’d just make it an ongoing series.
Almost 60 hours through Disgaea DS, and I still haven’t finished Etna’s Story. Much less gotten the good ending (damn exploding Prinnies), and visited the human world, the cave of ordeals or any of the alternate universe neitherworlds. Apparently, you can reach level 9,999 in this game (and more if you “reincarnate” your character). Based [...]
Just a quick follow-up to the fall 2008 preview that kicked this blog off.
So I mentioned before that I only decided to buy this game because Atlus was running a holiday promo that offered a free art book and music CD with the game. The first game was easy enough and interesting enough to convince me to play the second game (I mean, I’d bought it, so why [...]
So back in September or August or whatever, Atlus announced that they were included art books and audio CDs with pre-orders of Persona 4, Luminous Arc and Eternal Poison.
A good ending to a good game. I finally wrapped up Tales of the Abyss about a week ago, after about 60+ and maybe a month and a half of playing. Never was it so gripping that I lost track of time, but it was a good game to pick up and play for an [...]
It struck me as I watched the anime version of TotA at how good the English dubbing voiceover is for the game. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the original Japanese version as a frame of reference, but I think NAMCO did a fantastic job of picking the voice actors for the game. Jade has [...]
