I just scored a HOT DEAL off Rosenqueen
Rosen Queen is Nippon Ichi USA's online store, so named after the Rosen Queen retailer in their flagship Disgaea series. They sell Prinny biker gang jackets , and they also sell this mysterious "bonus item", which I chose to purchase for one dollar plus five dollars shipping. Here is the ...

I just watched a PARTICULARLY GOOD episode of Dirty Pair
If you're not familiar, Dirty Pair is a perfectly formulaic series: two gun-toting girls in space bikinis are "trouble consultants" who solve problems at the cost of exploding everything in their path. It's not terribly ambitious, it's got no message, but it's simple, honest fun. Today I ...

How not to do Free to Play AGAIN: Lost Saga
Ah, boy. We've talked about free-to-play games here very recently, and I just got an email from one that opened up a few days ago. It's called Lost Saga , and let's cut to the point here: don't waste your time. I wouldn't have, but-- I'm skipping a long story here-- I have some game money tied ...

BROTIPS: Super Robot Wars OG Saga
I seem to be about two thirds into the game, possibly approaching the end, so I figured it would be a good idea to share some of the little tricks that got me there faster. Endless Frontier isn't too tough, but everybody knows that Super Robot Wars isn't just about beating the game, it's about ...

Super Robot Wars OG Saga Endless Frontier: SCREW WORLD PEACE, I JUST WANT SOME AIR CONDITIONING
Upon first seeing this game, you might ask what the hell it has to do with Super Robot Wars. This is a really hard game to explain, but I'll give a shot. There's a long answer-- we'll get to it-- and there's a short answer. The short answer is that Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier is ...

Dub-only Kurokami Blu-Rays and BANDAI'S GENIUS ANTI-REVERSE-IMPORTATION STRATEGY
A lot of anime fans see US localizing and publishing outfits as the ultimate evil, citing the lousy dubs, re-editing and censorship of the old days. Even though releases have gotten a lot better over the years, the myth persists as part of that "Nippon banzai" mentality all too common to anime ...

Afterschool Charisma is either the BEST or the WORST comic THAT I HAVE READ IN YEARS
Let's start with a sad fact I was tipped off to a few days back: did you know that Colony Drop's got a higher Alexa rank than Viz's Sigikki ? Something's wrong with that, Internet. People should be more interested in reading good manga than they are in listening to angry ol' us! And by and ...

Kimi ni Todoke: EVERYBODY'S SO NICE
The other thing I'm bothering to watch this anime season is Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You), an almost unbearably sweet shoujo romance. It's relatively uncommon to see shoujo manga adapted to animation, and it's even more unusual that big-deal studio Production IG is handling something like ...

Tekken 6 again: How to grind money in Scenario Campaign mode
I know, I know, it's a lot of videogame posts in a row. My regular readers who only do anime are probably yawning or crying or something by now. Anyway, since T6 came out I've been getting a ton of hits on the post about Scenario Campaign and how much it blows . The searches are either about a) ...

An open letter to Namco: FIX TEKKEN 6
While I have little faith in the company, given their track record, I noticed that Namco was taking suggestions and took the opportunity to write them. Being as I just complained about this game, I thought I would put this up as a follow-up. The letter's after the cut. This is the first time ...
