Final Fantasy VI and Advent

I almost despair at having something new to say about Final Fantasy VI. Although it isn’t the most popular JRPG ever made, many debates over what the best JRPG evurr is have boiled down to a match between this title and the near-contemporaneous Chrono Trigger. But on a whim I was inspired to pull my… Read More Final Fantasy VI and Advent

The Inevitable Fight Against Evil – And Vampires

The 1990 NES classic Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse opens with a striking image. Our hero, Trevor Belmont, is seen kneeling in front a cross in prayer before heading off to slay Dracula. And, indeed, along with his trusty whip, an axe and a knife, Trevor also makes use of holy water, rosaries and crosses in… Read More The Inevitable Fight Against Evil – And Vampires

Video Games and Faerie

Dragon Quest VII revolves around the idea of a setting that ‘builds’ itself as you explore it. The game starts you in a world that consists only of a rather small and unremarkable island. From there you travel back in time, exploring other land masses that once existed, and altering history so that they survive… Read More Video Games and Faerie

DAYS – Work With All Your Heart

“All things in life worth having take work.” This is probably from some famous proverb or quote, but I know it as something my mom said to me quite often as I grew up. Whenever I wanted something, but didn’t feel the need to put in the work to get it, I would be prompted… Read More DAYS – Work With All Your Heart

What If? – Re:Zero & Orange on Dealing with Regret

“What if…. ?” It’s one of those frustrating questions we tend to ask ourselves over and over, making up scenarios that would be a better alternative to what really happened. After all, regret has this funny way of making us think, “What if I’d ____? Could I fix things?” or, “What if I hadn’t _____?… Read More What If? – Re:Zero & Orange on Dealing with Regret

Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another Mindset

One of my favorite currently airing anime (it began last season, and finishes this season) is Re:Zero. Despite my concern that the show would turn into a fanservice-filled, plot-light story of the idiot hero getting the beautiful girlfriend, I gave the show a shot, and boy am I glad I did. While the show has… Read More Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another Mindset

Shounen Maid – Cleaning up Communication

When I first started watching Shounen Maid, I confess I was really unsure about Madoka. I mean, in the first episode, he comes out of practically nowhere and takes Chihiro in like family… family who wasn’t aware of his existence until that day. He then proceeds to, by the beginning of episode 3, dress him… Read More Shounen Maid – Cleaning up Communication
