    The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
    ,

    Ah the beginning of beginnings. This game was originally recommended to me by a friend back when I had no idea this series existed. I had played around halfway through it before getting distracted, as I frequently do. It wasn’t until I randomly dropped Persona 5 in its opening hours and made my return to… Read more

    I really will never get tired of the sentence like titles some of these shows roll up with. In fairness to them we are slowly running out of unique one or two word titles, if we haven’t already, but I still don’t think that quite justifies… 14 words?

    In a world where every character has a hair color that perfectly matches the element of magic that they use, one boy will have somewhat confusingly colored hair to indicate that he can’t use magic. Instead, he wields a sword. I just noticed this hair coordination thing while watching the very last episode so I… Read more

    You know, there is a raging debate going on these days about when a title screen appears in a show. The majority opinion is that the title should show up first.
