Hooked up the PS1 again. Back to Wild Arms and Suikoden I for a little while.

Watched the rest of Ane-Log on Hidive. It is all right for a three-episode OAV with a one-joke promise.

You might like Tenta Shooter

Did not know about that one. A bit too loli for my tastes, but I appreciate the rec, nonetheless.

Picked up Caladrius Blaze for $2.99 U.S. on my PS4. Not as blatant as a game like Deep Space Waifu, perhaps, but still a cheeky shooter. Made by the Raiden people, though, so there is real skill required at any difficulty above Very Easy.

I stopped watching SAO after the first season, actually no gun gale.

I play the SAO games and pretend Kirito does not exist. It helps.

I didn't realize Sonic Colors was coming to PS4 as well. I'll have to get it sometime.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. I default to the Switch for multiplatform releases, these days.

Sonic Colors Ultimate and Tales of Arise the same week. Good releases.

Wonder if Arise will create a shitstorm like Berseria did when it released?

Almost to the end of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim after multiple interruptions.

In terms of storytelling, probably my game of the year for this year.

Hunter X Hunter is permanently weighed down by the fact it will never be finished.

Then again, Berserk has the same issue, but it remains legendary.

Kubo definitely hasn't lost it when it comes to badass panels and designs.

Kubo is the J.J. Abrams of manga. Knows how to start with a bang, but can never stick the landing.

I have had a heck of a time finding them with decent subs so this is great news
They don't get any DVD releases either so I've been kinda bummed out over this for a while

Been a while, Zoro!

I looked into it a bit more, and CR has the first two sets of OAVs. The third and fourth are still missing, alas.

The music was a big selling point for Sonic back in the day. It still bops.

I noticed that Crunchyroll randomly picked up at least some of the Strike the Blood OAVs. Will have to see if they are censored.

Passed through Hidive and watched the first episode of Ane-Log. It was all right. Feels too restrained to be a real OAV, though.

I am reserving judgment until I see this for myself, but I have heard about the bait and switch.

Especially since the later cartoons also all included "He-Man" in the title - and one of them didn't use "Masters of the Universe" at all ("The New Adventures of He-Man").

+1 for referencing the '90s He-Man show.

The only misfire was Moxley, but his in-ring is always awful. I had to turn that one off early.

I -- okay, you've got me on this one, Zeus. What brought you to this conclusion? I don't think I've seen Mox have a bad match since I started watching AEW, give or take one (non-)exploding barb mire death match, and even that was really good up until the end.

I am going to admit that I am not expecting the Alternative anime to be any good, either. VN adaptations do not have a good track record, depending on how one feels about Clannad.

I might have to have a look at that Dorm Goddess anime. Hidive is effective at picking up more adult titles.

But in general, most of the really popular books at any given moment aren't exactly known for being conventionally good, whether we're talking Dan Brown novels, Twilight Novels, 50 Shades, or anything else.

You are correct. Perhaps I should have called it the Harold Robbins Effect? Hmm.

I dont think many people are actually offended by it

This. 10% of Twitter users generate 90% of Twitter outrage, and I believe the same is true of Facebook. As soon as people understand that social media acts as a bullhorn and not a mirror, this nonsense might start to wither away.

Unless we're talking '90s Mary Jane, before Marvel Kirsten Dunst-ed her character design.

It's kind of insane to me that stuff with terrible amateurish writing becomes anime. When I think of the insane amount of effort and time thats put into bringing something like that to the screen...is that really the best they could find?

I call it the 50 Shades Effect. As soon as publishers figured out that dreck sells as well as quality, they leaned into dreck, since there is so much more of it. And LNs are no exception.

Good to have Wave back among us.

Also good to have crowds back at AEW, setting aside the one jackass who jumped into the ring.

And it looks like my sojourn into MTG is coming to a premature end, since my new job will make it all but impossible for me to join that play group. Unfortunate, but my wife and I can still play.

I have started a rewatch of the Marvel movies, since those have started turning up in theaters again. Not feeling too eager to see Black Widow, but that is only the first one in the hopper, after all.

Japan really needs to restructure how it handles production.

I have read that the anime studios are having a hiring shortage. Guess the number of people willing to be slave labor has dropped during the pandemic.

Game Stop does occasionally have good deals on Magic cards, though. They had a Buy 2 Get 1 sale on booster packs when I was there the other day. Unfortunately, their prices on Modern Horizons II stuff are as bad as they are everywhere else. Great set, too expensive.

That's amazing for them then that they were recognized and were able to partner up for an official localization.

While I am happy that the missing Trails games are no longer missing, and I am happy to see a fan translation team going official, I recall a similar happening with the translation for several of the Ys games, and that ... did not end too well, IIRC.
