In the first episode of the new, rebooted Entertainment Dome, James and I have a brief Danganronpa discussion, talk about Square Enix’s terrible business practice of cutting their games up and begin what will no doubt be a recurring trend of going on unrelated tangents.

Six Nintendo Franchises That Should Get Anime Adaptations
So, yeah, remember several months ago when I wrote an article about what Nintendo franchises should get movie adaptations? Well, if a recent interview with Nintendo’s President is anything to go by, Nintendo will also be expanding into other markets – including anime.
For years, fans could only dream of seeing their favourite Nintendo characters appear in this format (with many fan artists having their own goes at it). Of course, it’s not like Nintendo are inexperienced in this kind of thing. Let’s never forget the Mario and Legend of Zelda cartoons, but the quality of those shows were… questionable at best and flat out terrible at worst. Hopefully, in this modern era, Nintendo can make the right choices to create new adventures for its beloved characters.
For now, though, let’s open the floodgates for discussion as I list some franchises that I think would make either great or, at the very least, enjoyable anime. Continue reading
What I Want to See in Digimon Adventure tri.
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Digimon Adventure tri.
A few months ago, I wrote an article about my experience with the Digimon franchise, which was a result of me gaining an interest in the upcoming movie series Digimon Adventure tri.

As such, I am very excited for the rest of the series and I naturally have several things I hope to see and questions I want answered. So, here’s a quick wishlist of sorts of all the things I want to see in the future. Continue reading

(originally posted May 2nd 2014)
(WARNING: The following post contains spoilers for ‘Attack on Titan’)
Let’s face it. You’ve probably already watched ‘Attack on Titan.’ I don’t need to tell you why you should watch it. It’s quite possibly the biggest anime in recent years, rivalling the popularity of the likes of ‘Bleach’ and ‘One Piece.’ Everywhere you go online, you’re bound to find something ‘Attack on Titan’ related. So, rather than explain why one should watch it, I shall simply give my personal thoughts on the series thus far.
Kill la Kill – Something More Than Fanservice
(originally posted April 25th 2014)
‘Kill la Kill’ is a fairly recent anime series, and one that was highly recommended to me. I didn’t really know what to expect. All I knew was that the protagonist was female, there was a lot of fanservice and it was as insane as another anime series called ‘Gurren Lagann,’ which I absolutely loved because it was so insane. After watching it, I realised that sometimes it’s good to not know what to expect, because what you’ll get will shock you to your core.
