Review by Matt S. Attack on Titan has been a revelation in the world of anime, disrupting the standard models for commercial success and pushing the boundaries of what both anime and manga are capable of. This is a relentless, dark, and brutally violent action adventure series; one that doesn’t…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Simplicity can be both a good and a bad thing. At the best of times, simplicity makes a game feel second nature, and at the worst the game becomes tiresome all too soon. And Pulstar is an example of the latter. Billing itself as a twin…
Read MoreNews by Clark A. If Kill la Kill was 2013’s surprise hit, Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) was the same year’s unstoppable behemoth. It reeled in all audiences from devout readers of the manga to those who couldn’t tell Dragon Ball apart from K-On!. The increased visibility of the…
