[Awards] Anime of The Year 2019

Image
Greetings, it is time once again. I have emerged from my mysterious and dank cave, as I do once every year, to bring you my thoughts on the Japanese Animations I have viewed whilst holed up in the deepest depths of the earth. Please do not speak to me, for I am not used to human contact. As always I watched a lot of anime this year, I'm not gonna go over all of them but mention the most notable ones giving them awards, and then announce the top 3 anime of the year. Are you ready? Here we go! Let's PAAAARTY! PUT YA GUNS ON! First and foremost, the easiest one: Best Still Airing Show: Chihayafuru Season 3 Do I need to explain it? It's Chihayafuru! A great series that I started watching I believe early this year, or maybe late last year, in preparation for this 3rd season. Chihayafuru is a josei(a series meant for adult women) about a girl named Chihaya trying to become the Queen of Karuta and lead her Karuta team to victory. What's Karuta? Well, technically, ...

[Awards] Old Games of the Year 2019

Hello everyno-one! It's me, that guy! I'm gonna tell you about some video games. Before I do my game of the year post, I think I'll do a separate one for the games I played this year that were NOT released this year. Normally I do a part where I talk about the old games I played, but I think this time it might be a bit too cluttered if I do that. So instead, here's this other post about what I played when I wasn't playing new releases. First off I THINK I played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past this year, really early in it. I'm not 100% sure, but if it was last year I probably would have mentioned it there. I really enjoyed it, it was pretty fun. I did pretty much everything aside upgrading my arrows and bombs to max, though I followed a guide for most of the hidden stuff. This definitely was a good and classic game that I woulda loved playing if I was an SNES kid. I still think my favorite Zelda is Twilight Princess though, but this could be a clos...

[Review] Game - Nier: Automata

NieR: Automata was a game I did not play until just recently. See, I hate this game's fans. Automata gained massive popularity and everyone ranted and raved about it. They ranted and raved mostly about things that... the game this is a sequel to did. Sympathetic enemies, a depressing tone, a philosophical story, gorgeous music, great characterization, gorgeous music, and a final ending which wipes your save file. These are all things the original NieR did, and unfortunately for me the gaming press at large and even many fans of the game don't really talk about what Automata does that NieR didn't do. The fact that so many upstarts who either had never heard of either Drakengard or NieR, or worse thought the first game was mediocre-bad, well you can imagine how a big fan of the original could develop some negative feelings for this game and its fans, to say the least. You know what, screw being civil for the sake of an articulate review. Fuck you posers w...
