I get brilliant ideas sometimes. Dug up my old 3DS XL that was sitting in the drawer for the past 9 years and modded it. It was surprisingly easy and now the console can get a second life! All of the Pokemons games? Don't mind if I do!

Sparks of Tomorrow KyoAni is back with a new show and it's... a mixed bag? Visuals and animation are beautiful, as to be expected, while the story is quite uneven. It often feels like a fever dream, with grounded/normal scenes mixed in with crazy things. It's quite entertaining to watch, but

I'm very impressed with the community mod for Mario Kart 7, called CTGP-7, it adds almost a 100 new tracks, new characters and gameplay improvements. Also it has its own working multiplayer! And there's a lot of people playing, getting a lobby is not an issue. Amazing stuff.

6. Tenebris Somnia The mix of NES graphics and FMV cutscenes is quite cute. It's a good horror, I liked it, although I hoped for something overall better.

We got a nice tease of the 2nd set of Cyberpunk TCG, this one will focus on the Edgerunners anime. Here are some card art we will get. Give me all the Lucy cards! Oh and that Kiwi art is awesome!

Started playing Tenebris Sombra, first impressions are mostly good. Vibes are great, FMV cutscenes are cool. Combat is super janky, so it's a weird decision to make the game hard on top of it? Like the game is really stingy on healing items. Got stuck on one puzzle and had to look at a guide too.

I see why some people got disappointed with the show, or begun to hate it, especially because of the last few episodes. It definitely puts emphasis on weird things sometimes and don't give focus to the main duo enough probably. Weird and unconventional show, that could've been better, probably.

3. CONTROL Resonant Remedy did it again. A super duper cool video game, immersive weird world, great combat, music and visuals. Impressive how Remedy just picks up an entirely new genre for them and just nail it. Highly recommend and probably my GOTY.

4. Concrete Burial While the vibes and art direction are on point, this game feels like bunch of annoying/tedious levels from other games packed into one. It's a very short, weird little game.

Koukaku Kidoutai: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL Excellent visuals and artstyle, a great cyberpunk setting, violent action, beatiful tech, weapons and women. I liked it quite a lot and loved the more goofy version of the Major. It's not perfect sadly, as there are some big problems with pacing.

The final episode is the worst offender, being straight up awful, tossing random "sciency" words and trying to be philosophical, but clearly coming off from someone trying to pretend they're smart. The episodic structure with having one main point (Puppet Master) is a bit messy, mainly due to the

pacing issues, as the story doesn't have a good, natural flow. As we have conspiracies, international spies, terrorism and politics in the mix, it would really help to get these things more fleshed out, otherwise they're mostly confusing or underdeveloped.

The story seems very rushed and takes a lot of shortcuts, jumping from scene to scene, place to place, character to character. It leaves no true space to breathe and no room to get closer to the main characters, which is a shame. Also there is way too many of "futuristic mambo-jambo lingo" scenes.

What an amazing week in video games, we got: Silver Pines, Hellraiser, Spy Drops Gaiden, Valor Mortis, Deep Dish Dungeon, Boltgun 2, No Such Place, Tenebris Sombra... I wish I had time to play them all!

I think I am getting near the end of Control Resonant and I gotta say, that location is absolutely bonkers in terms of level design, how do you even come up with something like this? It really messes us with your brain, where is up, where is down?! Crazy!

Grand Blue Season 3 The alcoholic morrons are back and their shenanigans keep being funny. There even is some diving from time to time! And even some more serious story progress?!

Mushoku Tensei III: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Another super good season, Mushoku keeps being a very well written and paced fantasy story, with great worldbuilding and believable characters. You can really sink into another world and get immersed. I love it.

Yani Neko Finally, we have genetically engineered the most repulsive and disgusting anime catgirls known to man... and people will still say would. This says a lot about our society, don't you think? How did this got greenlit? Why is the animation so good? Why is the OP such a banger?

Yeah, that was an unexpected hit of the season and an actual good show, despite the gross scenes and constant jokes about addiction and pooping. If we get a sequel I do hope that these poor catgirl eventually get better and will try to change their ways. Otherwise it would be just depressing.

Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari This one's for all the uncs out there dreaming of a baddie goth gf. Super chill slice of life show, almost makes smoking look cool. I'm just glad you can't smell cigarettes through the screen lol.

Tai-Ari deshita.: Ojou-sama wa Kakutou Game nante Shinai Cute girls do cute things, in this case it's fighting games. A decent show that gets a lot of things right with the FTC (but kinda also had some weird/wrong things too) and you gotta appreciate that they collaborated with Capcom to get SF6

gone, somehow all of them are master rank players (probably would be more interesting to have them lower and climb the ladder and learn new skills), which is also an issue when they make bronze-level plays. Going straight to EVO instead of playing some locals is also a big mistake imo.

Introducing there a irritating antagonist character and not giving the viewer satisfaction also was meh. The show kinda felt like a worse Rock wa Lady, although it's not bad by any means. It's a fair 7/10.

in the anime adaptation, as in the manga they played a fake game inspired by SF5. Also getting pro players to record matches was cool! But overall the story doesn't really reach a level I would consider great and a lot of things remain quite shallow. The school matters for like ep 1 and then it's

The Trash Taste boys recently did an anime 3x5, so why not jump on the fun? Not a definite list by any means and if done another day, the titles could've been different, but this looks good enough! I've tried to put any show just once.
