I learn the true story of the world’s creation, see the game’s ending, and I give my final thoughts.

Video Game Review: Trails in the Sky 3rd
Trails in the Sky 3rd is the final installment of the Grancel Trilogy of what has become the larger series of Trails games. While the narrative focus for this game moves away from Joshua and Estelle Bright (their time in the spotlight finished in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter) – the third installment instead serves as something of an epilogue for the series, and with it sets up not only the Crossbell arc (Trails from Zero), but also the Erebonia (Trails of Cold Steel) and Calvard (Trails from Daybreak) arcs as well.

I’m finally getting somewhat caught up on some of the more recent Sword & Laser book club picks – this time one of the first YA novels (that aren’t light novels) that I’ve read in a while – Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor.

Anime Explorations Episode 28: Thunderbolt Fantasy – Bewitching Melody of the West & Season 3
This month, in honor of Lunar New Year, we’re discussing the second Thunderbolt Fantasy film and the third season of the show. As of this recording season 4 was not available on Crunchyroll for streaming, but it ended up going up while I was editing this episode.
Dragonlance: Shadows of the Dragon Queen Part 4: Rearguard Action
This was then we din’t quite get through the big string of fights that mark the end of this first chapter. We also got a new player (and thus a new character) in the party.

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster
I wasn’t expecting to get through my first New Year’s Resolution this early, relatively speaking – this is going up partway through January, but I was close enough to the end of Final Fantasy IV that I was able to finish the game before the full the first full week of the month. This is a game that I had been trying to beat off and on since I was in Middle School. So, I’m glad that I’ve finally gotten to beat the game – so now the question becomes, was it worth the wait.
Read moreAnime Review: A Certain Magical Index (S1 & 2)
When I finished A Certain Magical Index Season 2, and sat down to write this review, I thought I’d also reviewed Season 1. It turns out I have not – so I’ve got a lot of ground to cover in this review. Hopefully it will go fairly quickly, because while I cannot speak for the novels, but the anime version of these stories is a remarkably breezy watch.

Video Game Review: Tactics Ogre (PSP)
I did a Let’s Play of the PSP game, but I never really did a review for those who didn’t want to watch a long Let’s Play to see what I thought about it – time to rectify that.

Quick Review: MF Ghost Season 2
Not a lot to say about MF Ghost Season 2. I enjoyed it, and will move on to season 3 when it comes out. However, the show is getting kind of formulaic at this point – season 1 wrapped with qualifying for the race that started season 2 and took up most of the season – ending in qualifying and the start of the following race. We have some character beats in between, but most of the season is focused on the racing. It’s well-animated and well-paced racing, but there isn’t much more to say. It looks like Season 3 is likely going to shape up to more of the same. So, if you’re looking for some auto racing anime to watch (or you want something to save to watch during the off-season of your auto racing of choice), this is a good candidate.
However, I’m probably not going to review Season 3 or subsequent seasons, unless they do something really stand out.
