This week, Jared and I are gonna talk about the visual novel, 7’scarlet…oh wait, I mean World End Syndrome. My mistake. World End Syndrome is a dating sim visual novel that has our protagonist going to a small town with a mystery about people coming back from the dead and becoming Yomibitos that attack people. If this sounds familiar to you, you either played 7’scarlet or listened to our podcast about it! That said, there are some changes, this is a dating sim rather than an otome, and this game does have an extremely good twist at the end. Jared and I are also finally right on some of our guesses with the Nintendo Direct, and we chat briefly about the amazing Final Fantasy 8 Remastered.

The Queen of Otome returns!! This week, Jared and I dive into a new otome game I’ve been playing–Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice. (What a champion of a name) I break down the story as best as I can, tell you all about the four guys you can date, talk about all the different features the game has, and I look at some of the future releases for the game and come away completely and utterly bewildered.

So, I did a not very AL-like thing and watched a bunch of anime on a whim recently after I finished a kdrama and started getting Netflix recommendations. First, I watched 2011’s Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, which is sad and cute. After that, I watched one that I wasn’t as into, KyoAni’s Violet Evergarden. While it’s definitely beautiful, I discuss my problems with it here. The last one I watched was Kaguya-sama: Love is War from earlier this year. Jared actually had watched some of that, so we got to chat about what we liked and what it reminds me of. LASTLY, Jared ran a super gauntlet and has finally finished all 220 episodes of Naruto, including all the filler. You get to hear his thoughts too.
Listen here for all the anime goodness!

This week, Jared and I continued with our replays of the Zero Escape series with Zero Time Dilemma. We previously talked briefly about this game when it came out, but we wanted to see how it held up, if our opinions changed at all, how it all ties in in the series, and my favorite video of all time.

This week, Jared and I played the most recent game in the Fire Emblem franchise, Three Houses. We discuss our overall thoughts on the characters, the story, how I felt about the NG+, the problematic queer bating, and how people really should just play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Fair warning, we do vary a bit from the consensus on this game.

This week, Jared and I take down some Nazis in Paris in the 1980s in a spin-off, Wolfenstein: Youngblood. We talk about how the gameplay differs from a traditional Wolfenstein, the sometimes confusing genre of this game, how it sets up some wild stuff for the next game, and how the game got review bombed. Also beware the body horror.

This week, Jared and I take on two very different games. The first is the latest game from the Yakuza team, Judgment. Jared talks about how it is to be a detective and attorney while people are losing their eyes left and right. We then talk about the endings of Virtue’s Last Reward, since we recently did another play through.

Well, Jared and I sure as heck did play Resident Evil 5. The problem is that it actually really sucks. We both enjoyed it when it came out, but we discuss the issues in the game, how Wesker is a late throwback to the Matrix, and how punching a boulder wasn’t quite as cool as we remember.
Listen here!

I always wondered who the architect of the castle in Symphony of the Night was because he had some crazy design choices. Apparently that fictional architect got more work for the castle in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! This was one of the biggest Kickstarter games, and so Jared and I played it to see if it could break the nostalgia crowd funding curse. We also do a mid-summer preview of what the rest of 2019 might look like for releases and what we are hyped for.

This week, Jared and I dove into another Kyoto Animation movie, Liz and the Blue Bird. While technically a spin-off from Sound Euphonium, the movie can stand alone as well. (Which is good since I haven’t seen Sound Euphonium!) We talk about the wild flexes Kyoto Animation does, the details of the story, and how the relationship between the two main characters can be interpreted.
