Video Game Review: Xenosaga Part 1
I’ve beaten Xenosaga Part 1 – and as of this writing I’ve also beaten Citizen Sleeper, putting the last of the main games on my New Years Resolution List to be beaten at Xenoblade Chronicles Remastered on the Switch. So, I might as well give my thoughts on the first third of this trilogy (that was intended to be something longer).

Laid Back Camp has, consistently, been a chill (you might even say “Laid Back”) anime series about informing the viewer about going camping, while also providing some chill vibes to accompany it, and it has generally succeeded. Season 2 stepped some things up by having some arcs include potential complications you can run into while camping – and the film covered some of the wrinkles you can run into if you decide to make a campground. Season 3 continues with the chill vibes, while also getting into “What might you have to deal with when traveling to your campground?”

Anime Review: Urusei Yatsura Season 3
Urusei Yatsura’s 3rd season is the one that wraps up the series – putting most of the cast into varying degrees of relationships, while also finding – in an indirect way – a way for Ataru to express his feelings to Lum without either shedding their stubborn exteriors.

Anime Review: Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included
Often with an anime series, you get the caveat of “Oh, it has a weak start, but it really sticks the landing in the conclusion” or the warning of “Oh, it has a good start, but really fumbles the landing”. Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included has the weird instance of being a series with a weak start, a weak end, but a really strong middle portion of the series. The series, which I’m going to just call Studio Apartment for the sake of brevity – starts out as a pretty standard magical girlfriend series, and ends as a magical girlfriend harem series – but there’s a moment in the middle, where the series really finds its feet as the supporting cast builds up – and where it has some interesting humor to go with it.

Comics: Thoughts on the end of the Krakoa Era
As of this writing, the end of the Krakoa Era of X-Men comics has concluded. I’ve read this whole era as it was coming out from beginning to end, and I have some thoughts on its conclusion, and some of my high points of this period of the comic, and things which I wish had been explored further.
