Game Preview: Blue Dragon Plus
I hadn’t paid very much attention to the Blue Dragon franchise when it first came out up until recently when I saw the in-game FMVs for Blue Dragon Plus DS ,and was very impressed. I love TRPGs and 2D games, so this seems like something I’d chomp at the bit to play (it’s sad how much I miss out on). Something else that gets this game a ton of bonus points? Music by Nobuo Uematsu! Honestly, how can you go wrong? After checking out some early reviews, Youtube videos and the like I am now looking forward to the game very much. Although I do think the Akira Toriyama designs will take me a bit to get used to..
Current NA release date is February 24th.
Game Review: Time Hollow
Time Hollow tells the story of Ethan Kairos (or Horou Tokio in the JP version), a boy who is displaced in time on his 17th birthday.. thanks to a pen.
Weird premise, right? Well, it doesn’t get much better.
Series Review: Kodomo no Jikan
Kodomo no Jikan has been a very fun series to watch, containing many comical moments and mishaps! The character artwork is very enjoyable to watch, and the opening and ending fit very well to the theme of the show.
Series Review: Hidamari Sketch x365
Hidamari Sketch tells the story of 4 high school art students who live in the same apartment building. x365 follows their daily activities throughout their second year at the building.
Hidamari Sketch is not for everyone. Nothing happens. There are no life lessons or action or crying or implied sex or even hand holding. There is no dirty evil bitch and no big-chested lolis. It’s exactly as any summary says: you watch 4 high school girls go to school, eat sweets, and have fun.
