Anime Review: Rock Is A Lady’s Modesty
It’s been a minute since the last music anime I’ve watched. There have been idol anime that have aired, but while I’ve enjoyed some idol music, I’ve never really been grabbed by series like the Idolmaster franchise.

Book Review: Fight. Magic. Items
It’s important to say from the jump what Fight. Magic. Items is not. It’s not The JRPG Book. It’s not trying to be a comprehensive overview of the history of JRPGs.

Film Review: War of the Gargantuas
When faced with the film War of the Gargantuas, you might find yourself facing two questions. The first being “What’s a Gargantua?” and the second being “Is there a movie I need to watch before this?” The answers are “It’s a giant hairy man, which is technically called a ‘Frankenstein’” and “Technically this is a sequel to ‘Frankenstein Versus Barugon’ but nothing from that really matters”.
