Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–Tsuki ga Kirei

This week, Jared convinced me to watch Tsuki ga Kirei. Then we decided to talk about it! I have no regrets. This is a great shoujo series, and I highly recommend it. Be aware, there are spoilers in this episode!

Also, please appreciate that there is a banana stand phone case because that’s wonderful.

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–Crowdfunding

This week, Jared and I decided to tackle the idea of video game crowdfunding. We discuss the horror stories, our personal experiences, and thoughts of where it can go or what we’ve all learned.

As a bonus this week, we also talk pre-E3 thoughts! I already predicted one that came true (since this was recorded on Tuesday.)

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–Manga Grab Bag (The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages and Seasons/Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin)

Hi everybody! This week on the OVA, we decided to talk about manga. Jared talks about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin and how it compares to the original anime, and I talk about the recently released Legendary Edition of the Oracle of Ages and Seasons manga. We also discuss if they’re good intros to their respective medias.
 
Also, we talk about aliens and Tom Delonge. That’s fun! Give it a listen.

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA- Final Fantasy VIII

I’ve been harassing Jared for who knows how long to play one of my favorite games in the Final Fantasy series– Final Fantasy VIII.

Since he FINALLY played it, we decided to discuss the game, its reputation, why Squall is so misunderstood, and why we consider it one of the best. (Don’t forget that bomb soundtrack!)

In addition, we talk about why we are not covering Caligula Effect, as well as a discussion about the preservation of experimental games and the huge impact of the 16-bit era of gaming.

Desexualizing the Panther: In Defense of Ann Takamaki

I’ve already written a somewhat thorough review about Persona 5, and I also have discussed it at length in a podcast. Now I’m back to talk more about Persona 5! Why, you might ask? Haven’t you covered everything you need to say about Persona 5? No, I absolutely have not. I want to talk more about the arc and treatment of Ann Takamaki within the game and in the merchandising surrounding it.

Hint: It’s not good. Spoilers below.
