August 4, 2014

anime/anime review/Blu-ray/DVD/English dub/JC Staff/NISA/Romantic Comedy/school romance/Toradora

Review by Clark A. Toradora is a romantic comedy with an endgame that is seldom in question after the first fistful of episodes. Against this handicap, the writers managed to tell an intelligent, multifaceted tale that enriches the premise to the point where the outcome will be the last thing…

Review by Nick H. Telltale Games have a habit of creating penultimate episodes to their adventure games that leave me underwhelmed, but put me in a position where I’m excited for the final chapter. This was how I felt about the second-to-last episode during season one of The Walking Dead,…
