First Impressions: Ace Attorney

It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since the first Ace Attorney game came out in Japan for the GBA. 15 years later there’s been more games, merchandise, manga, stage plays, a live-action movie, drama CDs, concerts, and even musicals. The one obvious question in that period of time: “Why hasn’t there been an anime?” After years of teasing fans with animated cutscenes in their latest games, a…

First Impressions: Sakamoto desu ga?

First Impressions: Sakamoto desu ga? #sakamoto_anime #sakamotodesuga #swagamoto

ENTER SWAGAMOTO. http://www.all-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sakamoto-desu-ga-01op.webm Right off the bat I have to say that Sakamoto desu ga? is one of my favorite series in recent years. I can’t remember how I ended up reading the manga a few years ago but the laughs are still fresh in my mind. As such, this first episode squashed any fears I had about the humor not being making the…

Book Corner: No Game No Life, vol. 2

No Game No Life, vol. 2 Published by Yen On 192 pages, MSRP $14.00 So I just read this recently and decided to write a “thing” on it. I don’t know if this will be a consistent “thing,” but I do read a fair amount of light novels like Spice & Wolf and Kizumonogatari so it’s a possibility. I’ve had the first volume of To Aru Majutsu no Index on my shelf for a while now as well, and the first…

Wonder Festival, or WonFes for short, is a semi-annual event held in Japan where the latest figures (mostly anime and manga focused) are displayed to the open public. Many manufacturers use this event not only to sell their products, but to showcase previews for upcoming figure line ups. As someone who has filled up his first detolf and is close to buying a second, WonFes is always an exciting…

Otakon 2015: Panel Report

A little late. I guess, pretty late. It’s a trend with my Otakon posts, but I never fail to deliver on the goods. The panel line up at Otakon is something I look forward to every year with it’s offering in both quality and variety. I couldn’t attend as many panels as I planned to due to running around for other things, but then again, as a recurring con-goer I’ve quickly learned you can’t make it…

My Shokugeki No Soma Addiction

I love food, I love cooking, but I am not a chef. In fact, I am not involved in the culinary field at all. I just happen to find most things surrounding it to be interesting; but most importantly, I just really like food. Food can bring about emotions that you would never expect, and a well composed meal is truly a work of art. Despite that, it’s a fact that most people gloss over it as…

Mid-Season Thoughts on: Gangsta.

Mid-Season Thoughts on: Gangsta. #gangsta. #ギャングスタ #anime

When I first saw Gangsta I immediately thought of Black Lagoon. It’s almost impossible not to make some comparisons given that they both take place in seedy cities/towns that are pretty much run by crime syndicates and/or mafia families. Like Black Lagoon, Gangsta also revels in its gritty and dark atmosphere and makes it shine through its cast of characters really well. First you have the…

Otakon 2015: Cosplay Photo Gallery

Otakon once again had a varied and colorful assortment of cosplayers in attendance this year. One of the best things about a large convention like Otakon is that it brings in a diverse array of anime fans, and along with it diverse cosplay. Love Live was pretty strong this year and I feel like I see more Ace of Diamond cosplayers every year (and they’re mostly female too). It was my first time…

Just Finished: Death Parade

Just Finished: Death Parade #deathparade #dp_anime

Where to begin with Death Parade? I never got around to watching Death Billiards which was part of the 2013 Anime Mirai Project (I will eventually) but wasted no time in picking up the TV series. When I first picked it up I had a vague expectation of it based on a previous series that I adore to this day: Jigoku Shoujo. However once I actually started the show the only similarities that remained…

Just Finished: Tokyo Ghoul √A

After an amazing first season, Tokyo Ghoul quickly became one of my favorite new shounen shows/manga. At the time I hadn’t been following anything particularly shounen and Tokyo Ghoul stood out for reasons that were unclear to me at first. It eventually became obvious that it was certainly different from what I was used to seeing done. The protagonist, Kaneki Ken, has to be one of the most…

Otakon 2015: Takamatsu Shinji Interview

*Note: This transcript has been edited for clarity, but the answers have been preserved as accurately as possible. Q: In Gintama, there are a lot of funny “fourth wall breaking” moments throughout the series. For example, you provide the voice work for Elizabeth in the anime. What’s the story behind you being casted for that? [Elizabeth] was supposed to be “content unknown” and if you cast a…

Just Finished: Seitokai Yakuindomo*

Seitokai Yakuindomo is a series that is very dear to me. I completely fell in love with the first season (and it’s companion OVA/OAD series) because of the characters (Shino, Aria, Suzu and of course Tsuda the Ultimate Straight Man) and the comedy that never fails to make me laugh. Seitokai Yakuindomo* (aka Seitokai Yakuindomo Bleep) further amplified those feelings beyond measurement. The jokes,…
