It's been A Moment since I've played a Monster Hunter game, but I was SHOOKETH at how well MHS translated MH gameplay to turn-based combat. I'm having a great time with this game so far, def something I recommend keeping an eye on and checking out

The same things that will inevitably make this game more tedious for some players will also scratch a hyper-specific itch for others.

Almost ten years ago, I wrote about how dot hack changed the way I looked at video games. It is a series that means so much to me & influenced my life in countless ways. One day, I'd like to write about dot hack again. www.rpgsite.net/feature/4875...

ICMYI: We launched a monthly newsletter breaking down recent developments in the manga and manhwa world. This month: a manga competition, the collapse of an online piracy network, and new laws regarding generative AI in South Korea.

spending a decade on a game, and putting stuff like this on record, to then lay off 80 people THREE WEEKS AFTER RELEASE is out of control

I DESPERATELY want the new CC2 game to be a .hack game, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Remember a few years ago, when we all thought Bamco trademarking "Last Recollection" meant a new .hack was imminent? Cause god DAMN do I. (Ironically, that turned out to be a SAO game)

I'm offering digital downloads of beginner-level Japanese on my kofi! 121 pages, based off the Genki 1 textbook, but explained in my voice, with my unique examples, and with extra grammar, vocab, and tidbits not covered in Genki 1.

y'all, I love SK8 so much, holy shit. Easily one of my absolute fav anime of the past decade.

Writer who's gonna be okay.

Fans often regard Anonymous;Code as impossible to adapt. But comments from series creator Chiyomaru Shikura suggest he might self-fund an anime regardless. With the year 2038 problem just 12 years away, let’s discuss how an anime adaptation could work. youtu.be/fksxuNy9bi0

and now available on YouTube !! thanks for your patience and enthusiasm !! i'm so glad to be back. youtu.be/-mWBCC8HIQk?...

[Review] Consider watching new episodes of Tamon’s B-Side and Oshi no Ko season 3 back-to-back each week for a Barbenheimer-esque experience.

I'll be reviewing Tamon's B Side each week on ANN this season! It may be Tamon's *B* Side, but I've been having an *A rank* time with this shy, anxious idol anime so far lol

hey, the voice of the narrator on the tour video sure sounds familiar 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVNy...

Last year, I was able to explore Nippon Animation where they gave me unfettered access to the studio, including work on an episode with Chibi Maruko-chan, interviewing animation veterans, opening up film cannisters, and browsing Miyazaki-original drawings.

The studio that fostered talents like Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata and brought to life Anne of Green Gables, Future Boy Conan, and more opened its doors to offer ANN a tour through where the magic is made.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

We've talked about 2025's Best and Trashiest Anime, but now it's time for the REAL Garbage. youtu.be/hCWQRnGUkck

I got to write in a bunch of these! Most notably, I finally got to gush about how absolutely cool it is that the DAN DA DAN dub got MARTY FUCKING FRIEDMAN FORMERLY OF MEGADETH, AND MARC FUCKING HUDSON OF DRAGONFORCE FOR AN INSERT SONG I'M STILL SHOOKETH THAT'S A THING THAT HAPPENED

It's time to count down the very best anime of the year, from the characters we couldn't help rooting for to the songs at the top of our playlists!

The Second Story, AKA author Hilary Layne, recently put out a video claiming that the fall of modern writing and storytelling can be traced to fanfiction. That the process of writing fanfiction has utterly ruined...everything. I want to set the record straight.

Be sure to leave a glass of milk and Swiss rolls out for the Judge tonight.

I just did a full audit, and we have about 150 copies left, last I checked, after prepping the ones that will be shipped on Friday.

The fall anime season is drawing to a close. Here are the best anime to binge over winter break, from Spy x Family to SANDA!

2025 was one of the best years EVER for anime. Now it's time to name the Best of the Best: youtu.be/447mQ4PR9wo

An excellent video on a super overlooked anime, that's unfortunately a lot more relevant in 2025 than it was on release in 2011 Give it a watch!

It's upppp! C Control is a 2011 anime which unapologetically criticized capitalism and the effects of the Lehman shock on the everyday person. Including a never before officially translated interview with the director, take a dive into the anime! #anime #animehistory #videoessay

this is such a hilarious promo image to me you have the nine tailed fox coaster, which grabs your attention, and then there's just. random pngs of Itachi and Minato. Just cause lol.
