I somehow doubt we'll see the Sailor Moon reboot this winter...which is both disappointing and a relief. Disappointing because they've put it off for long enough already, and a relief because it staves off the inevitable shitstorm on the internet when it gets compared to every other magical girl...

I haven't watched Pokemon since the disastrous ending of the Diamond/Pearl saga - which I had really enjoyed up to that point - but it's almost a certainty that I'll watch this, even if it's only for the nostalgia burst I'll get from seeing it. If it properly followed the R/G manga, it'd...

I'm a fussy eater, so I don't cook much. But I do love to bake...even if things have an unfortunate habit of burning/exploding/imploding/melting into an indescribable puddle of toxic death whenever I try to bake something. I suppose baking is a variation of the theme, but as far as I'm...

I'm watching the Witchblade anime, although I have absolutely no idea why. It's one of those seriously crappy adaptations of good source material...like the godawful Dragon Age and Mass Effect anime movies, although they've made an entire bloody series out of it. I've seen worse, but I have seen...

Witch Wraith, Terry Brooks' latest Shannara offering. I don't have very high expectations of this...it appears Terry has all but run out of ideas, as the Forbidding is crumbling again and there are half a dozen re-used plot elements from the High Druid trilogy, which I really, REALLY did not...

New PSN account (again) so new games. The completionist/trophy whore in me hates seeing unfinished games in my profile, and since I've started a few games where getting 100% is going to prove to be somewhat difficult (Star Ocean: The Last Hope and, I've discovered, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow...

They said 2013, so I expect them to be out by December. This had better not be another fuck about like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow II has turned out to be with it's Winter release date. ...that said, I'm not OVERLY fussed. I just think it'd be nice if Square Enix kept their promises for once...

Mood: Annoyed Reason: My precious Saturday, wasted. I spent the morning food shopping - and I never want to set foot in Aldi again - and the afternoon shivering and feeling generally ill. My package from Amazon didn't arrive - again, so they can kiss my business for anything I really want in...

Happy Birthday, and all that other stuff~

OK, so I started playing Kingdom Hearts the other day. The final mix one, or something. I'm reminded now of why I was so hesitant to pick it up - the voice acting is atrocious, it has perhaps the most uncooperative camera and jump mechanic I've experienced in recent years, the characters look...

It's obvious what the significance of Caius is - he's the only character worthy of note in this sorry affair. It's a shame that Yeul has to appear again as well, though...I couldn't really bring myself to care about her in XIII-2, and I can't really bring myself to care about her now. Could we...

Malufenix is worth mentioning; she has an incredible singing voice. It's a shame she hasn't done very much, but her Skyrim song covers were enough to get me to actually play my copy again...

Samples are links, because the Youtube embedding on this forum is a pile of bollocks that I can never get to work properly. The Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra is a good place to start. There are a fair few full albums out now - including the Banjo-Kazooie Symphony, which is easily my...

I've had this on pre-order for a while; I've never really had much contact with the Kingdom Hearts series, and with little to tide me over until Disgaea D2 is released and my real life officially ends (again) I thought this might be a good interim thing. It has the Disney characters I like in...

Y'know, I could get exactly the same effect on my Vita by just buying a skin or something and sticking it on the back. I suppose if it includes the games then it's a worthwhile purchase for people who don't have a Vita and want one and the games, but otherwise it's just another trashy special...

...this still doesn't solve the problem of the severe lack of worthwhile games on the Vita. I've had one since launch, and in that time I've had three games for it, one of which I sold (Gravity Rush) because of how utterly unplayable it was. If Sony want to shift some more units, they could try...

LEGO Lord of the Rings, on PS3. £10 off Amazon, and I just felt like it. The only LEGO game I've really played is the Star Wars one on Wii (although I have the first Harry Potter one on my PS3, and mother has pretty much every one on her DS) and I want something to get me in the mood for LEGO...

Mood: Bored Reason: I don't really have anything to do today, and I lack the creativity/willpower to come up with anything at the moment. I'm still recovering from feeling like crap for the last couple of days, and all I really want is for this month to be over and done with...

Gotten a bit bored with Ni No Kuni, so I've started playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on the side. Need to play something that isn't an RPG, and with Mirror of Fate HD coming out at the end of next month, I figured I'd play through and plat this again...plus I've had the DLC since Christmas...

...this thread title makes no sense. Anime IS Japanese animation. You can have anime influenced animation, but that isn't anime. Not in the strictest sense of the word. Wrong thread title is wrong. But whatever. In terms of Japanese-inspired Western animation, I really liked Oban Star Racers...
