Birdy the Mighty DECODE (Tetsuwan Birdy DECODE) is a remake of an OVA from the nineties, which itself was a remake of a quickly-canned manga. Its newest incarnation is more than worth watching, and something I wholeheartedly recommend if it can keep the pace and mood the first two episodes have.

Guitar Hero On Tour is the latest in Activision’s part of the Guitar Hero franchise, and the one with the most potential for being a cheap cash-in. Fear not though, because it’s actually not entirely terrible!

Here we are, then. Kojima Productions’ Magnum Opus, the end of the saga of Solid Snake, and the game PS3 fans have been waiting ages for. Is this finally going to end the belief that PS3 has no games, or will it be Lair all over again? Here we go.
(In respect for the people who have not yet bought the game or finished it, this review will avoid any details that will ruin key plot twists or gameplay aspects)

Review - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

TWEWY is a bold game that has a lot of things to say about the JRPG, and I for one hope that the industry listens. In one fell swoop, it has changed the possible topography of the genre by giving the player an unprecedented amount of choice. However, this isn’t the Morrowind-style sense of freedom that includes a large world and nonlinear storyline.
Lolita characters: check. Apathetic main character: check. Story with death as the main element: check, check, check. Bland ending: Cheeeeeeeeeeeekuuuuh!I’m starting to see a pattern. . .no wait, the pattern has been made years ago! A lot of things have been made around death in anime but. . .delivering letters from the dead? Hmmm, oh wait. . .wait. . .Lain had it first. But physical letters? Delivered by hand? That being the main plot of the story? A’ight, you can give it a shot. . .
It’s been a while since I watched a romance anime and I gotta say. . . what a comeback! School Days manages to give good amounts of romance, drama, fanservice, and blood. . . enough to keep you hooked until the end.
Hello! I come from a time when wandering merchants lied, deceived, and even killed for their own profit. . .no wait, it’s not the present time, really! There’s wheat and… and… people and… Musicians, y’know? I know we have that now but… Hey! Does this time have neko-mimi? Kitsune-mimi?…Oh, right… Japan. Err… well… Ah, I got it! There are horses! I bet you don’t have horses anymore, right? What? you do?! Oh man, how to make you believe I come from the past? Hmm. . .sorry, you just have to believe me in this one, buddy, even though I’ll investigate more into it later. I think I’ll write a memo on my iPhone. . .

Penny Arcade’s creators, Tycho and Gabe, claim that nowadays they see PA as more of a franchise than a webcomic. Never has this been more apparent than in Hothead Games’ Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, a godsend to children of the ’90s that spent their days with point-and-click adventures and turn-based console RPGs. While it’s short, and the bosses are somewhat cheap, $20 is a perfectly fair asking price for PA’s first video game.

There is a time, in the middle of your anime life, when you (supposedly) know and fear the genres you once swore you’d never watch again but still you think to yourself the same thing: “I’m more mature right now, maybe I could give the XXXXX anime a chance, even if it’s categorized in one of the genres I hate. . .Harem Anime”. I pondered this some weeks ago and here I am. Still alive. With some ups but huge downs I review the series that caught me and my fascination for pink and long-haired girls. I swear…someday I’ll resist successfully.
Ok guys we’re going to try something different today. I watched Kite Liberator this afternoon and I just felt like it needed to be reviewed, so I created this one minute review of Kite Liberator. I’ve wanted to try out the whole one minute review concept for a while and so here it is. If you guys like it we might do more, so speak up!
P.S. One minute is more of a guideline than a rule, actual review is 1:18 plus intro and outro. Transcript after the break.

See that (H) on the Title? That means that series is HENTAI, in other words, not for minors. By clicking the “read more” you’re stating that you’re overage and mature enough to watch this stuff. Still, rest assured that these reviews will seldom get you in trouble since as a lot of you know, my reviews cover the technical aspects mostly without going too much into detail.
Now, on to the review!!
Pigeon Blood is awesome; it has the right amount of animation, the right amount of music, and the necessary characters for the story, not more nor less. Being made based from an h-game you never expect a good story (except for C’s ware games), but you’ll be surprised on how some scenes just captivate your 5 human senses.
