Site co-founder Inferno and I have been going to great pains to regularly load up the Street Fighter V Beta on our respective PS4s in the hope of another beta going live ever since the latest update floated onto our consoles, only to be told it wasn’t up and running. Last night our patience paid […]
Yu Narukami is back in all his glorious swagger in Persona 4 the Golden Animation, an expansion series that plays off the plot of the original Persona 4 The Animation. In case you didn’t already know, Persona is a popular roll playing Playstation game starting in 1996 from Japan, and Persona 4 is actually the 5th game in […]

It’s time to share a story. There comes a point where your general interest in anime changes from one of piqued interest to unusually obsessed. For me, this happened through a combination of Astro Boy as a young child then Robotech when it screened over late-1994/early-1995, followed by chance viewings of early Manga Video releases […]
Parasyte is a science fiction/horror/action manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, published from 1988 to 1995 in only 10 volumes. This is a lot less than all the popular manga these days that go over 20 or 30 volumes.

A few months ago I was pleasantly surprised in my review of the first chunk of episodes for Nisekoi. This release finishes up the remainder of the first season of the show, covering the next stage in the story arc. Going into this review I was curious where they were going to take the cast […]
