Haven't done a news post for a very long time but this one should be of interest for fans of Makoto Shinkai's works like myself. We've known for a long time UK will be getting a dual format release of Kimi no Na wa in October since it's been listed on Amazon UK for some time now but, now we have a release date for Japan's version! Judging by this...

Blue Reflection is Gust's last title in the "Beautiful Girls Festival" series following after Atelier Sofie and Nights of Azure 2. Taking part in its production includes character designer Mel Kishida (Atelier series) and writer Keiichi Shigusawa (Kino's Journey, Alison, Sword Art Online: Gungale Online). Should be something...

Never did get into the Nier game on the PS3 but after playing the demo, I was quite excited about Nier:Automata. The post apocalyptic story is quite silly - aliens sent automatons to Earth and became a threat so big humans had to flee to the moon. Now they have come with a way to transfer their memories between androids to continue the...

Don't know this was a good or bad thing but, saw limited edition steelbook copies of Spirited Away and Laputa on my Twitter timeline and thought I'd splurge out to get them both. Always wanted to own some of my favourite Ghibli movies on blu-ray. I think the designer did a good job of the front covers on these Zavvi exclusives published by...

Gravity Rush 2 takes place some time after the prequel. If you haven't watched the OVA Anime "Overture" then basically Kat, Raven and Syd are caught up in a gravity storm one day while fighting some villains. Now Syd and Kat are separated from Raven and are taken in by a wandering village who mines for a living. The gameplay is fairly much...

Persona 5 Official Design Works is one big heavy artbook... Probably the biggest I've seen at 512 A4 pages, 1.6kg. It reminds me of the the free telephone directories that are distributed to homes in the UK but, the paper and print quality's much better of course. Shows how much thought went into the game and why it's oozing with quality...

Been a while since I last built a Ghibli Minituart papercraft. This time, I'll be tackling a one star Laputa one model number 19 so it should be quicker. Then again, the first Totoro one was a one star but it still took many hours to put together so wasn't expecting this to be any easier although it did look simpler. There are quite a few...

Been 6 years since the last VC game, Valkyria Chronicles 3 was released on PSP. Now we finally have a new title but despite the Selvaria look-alike in the promotion illustration, it's only set in the same universe and as the title "Valkyria Revolution" suggests, with the gameplay going through some "revolution". Amleth, one of 5...

Characters from different Summon Night games find themselves landing on a mystery island where things falling from the sky is a everyday thing. As island dwelling Raj and Amu welcome the new characters, they try to workout what's going on. Battle system is fairly much standard SRPG where you take turns moving and...

I had never heard of Root Letter before so I had no idea what it was about. At first glance, you'd think it's another dating sim where you just try to pick the best choices to win a girl's heart. However, I went onto read the story which was about Takayuki Max who wrote to a girl named Aya as a penfriend. One day one of her letters wrote, I...
