This review was written on May 19th, 2024. Rating: 75/100 No, your eyes do not deceive you, I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up is the actual title of this fairly short yuri manga. And I really do mean short, as it's only about three chapters long. Yes, really. But what's it...

This review was written on April 29th, 2024. Rating: 95/100 Man, I really shouldn't have put this off for so long. I mentioned in my previous Natsume review that during 2016-2020, I was neck deep in anime burnout, to the point where I couldn't bring myself to watch more than an episode of...

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Rating: 5.5/10 Man, I really ought to like this influential book more than I do. The story centers on a family and a preacher friend traveling from Oklahoma to California to find work after their farm is ruined by the dust bowl, but poverty, corruption, and...

Oh lordy. Get ready, folks, because I'm gonna go on a rant. This review was written on April 8th, 2024. Rating: 48/100 Many know the company Visual Arts/Key for their visual novels: Kanon, Air, Clannad, Little Busters, Rewrite, their kinetic novels, and so on. But while Kanon is the first VN...

This review was written on November 7th, 2023. Rating: 57/100 So...this exists. And apparently it's come into the limelight now because somehow, for some reason, the streaming website Mubi somehow got their hands on it, gave it English subtitles, and put it up for streaming. That's how I...

This review was written on April 23rd, 2024. Rating: 75/100 Out of all the kinetic novels Visual Arts/Key have released, especially in the US, many Key fans consider LOOPERS to be the worst one they put out, citing the following reasons: Shallow characters who are either underdeveloped or...

New review! Rating: 83/100 The Atelier series has always been a rather niche series, especially in America, where gamers tend to favor more action packed and violent games rather than more low key affairs, especially story-driven games that have more to offer than that. That doesn't...

That would be nice, and I'd love that too, but currently I'm not holding my breath. Anyway, new review started on February 1st, 2024, but just finished today. Rating: 81/100 These days, Fire Emblem as a franchise needs no introduction. While it's not quite the cultural phenomenon on the...

This review was written on April 28th, 2024. Rating: 92/100 These days, when you ask people what the best Pokemon spin-off games are, the go-to answer is usually Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. The first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, Rescue Team, were pretty...

This review was just written today. Rating: 80/100 In the wake of Cardcaptor Sakura's popularity in Japan, it was only a matter of time before it got a movie, and sure enough, Madhouse made one in 1999. Taking place during the events of the first season, as indicated by the absence of Yue...

Man, I haven't done these in a long while. I really need to get back to reading. Oh well. Here's some more mini reviews for whatever books I read recently. The Girl and the Witch's Garden by Erin Bowman Rating: 5.5/10 Ehhh...I really wanted to like this one, but there was so much about it that...

This review was written on March 3rd, 2023. Rating: 89/100 We're all familiar with the hero's journey, where we observe a young sword-bearing hero rise from humble beginnings, gathers a party of allies, and travels the world to defeat a great evil threatening all of humanity. They've been...

This review was first started on March 4th, 2024, but not finished until today. Whoops. Rating: 80/100 (This review covers both seasons 1 and 2) Hey kids! Do you like gothic mystery with a side of mild eldritch horror in the mix? Do you like the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales or the...

You don't have to if you don't want to. Which ones, specifically? I know that's the case with M!Corrin and Niles, but I don't know about any others. *** Onto another review! Rating: 77/100 I hadn't planned on buying this, but it showed up on the Nintendo eShop one day, and seeing as I...

This review was just finished today. Rating: 56/100 Oh, Fire Emblem Fates. After the runaway success of Fire Emblem Awakening a few years before, Intelligent Systems kinda...let the game's success go to its head in the process of making the next game. Granted, Fates still sold really well...

This review was written on November 8th, 2023. Rating: 57/100 I've seen and read my fair share of good yuri anime and manga...but I've also seen some really bad yuri anime and manga. Kiss The Scars of The Girls, the debut work of one Aya Haruhana, kind of falls in the middle. It just got...

This review was written on February 27th, 2024. Rating: 70/100 Shoujo stuff tends to get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting ported to the US, but in some circles that seems to be changing quite a bit. Discotek Media has started making an effort to put out more shoujo and...

This review was written on December 16th, 2023. Rating: 78/100 So...would Pokemaniacs kill me if I said that I was more excited for this than the announcement of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet getting DLC? Pokemon: Paldean Winds is yet another short animated web series centered in the Pokemon...

This review was written on February 11th, 2024. Rating: 82/100 The Reiwa era Pretty Cure seasons have been...pretty hit or miss so far. I really didn't care for both Tropical Rouge and Delicious Party, I haven't seen Star Twinkle and Hikaru's screechy voice puts me off of watching it, but...

This review was just finished today. Rating: 82/100 Man, it seems like the yuri/shoujo-ai genre is going through some kind of renaissance, what with so many of those titles being ported to the US, and several of them actually managing to range from good to amazing. I don't typically find...
