Reviews From Anime to Board Games, and More!
A rumor about a masked killer in Otomo City, a corrupt district of Japan where conspiracy and death are all too familiar, grabs the attention of a Tokyo reporter, Minagami Hayato. He’s soon joined by a young photographer, Kiriko Mamiya. At first, this seems like a fruitless effort but slowly the pieces begin to come into place and a deep conspiracy is revealed, but by then, it just may be too late.

If somebody asked me to explain what The Rolling Girls was all about in just a few words, this would be what comes to mind. It’s a messy show with lots of quirks, but it’s also an anime that’s a unique experience. While it may not be the strongest series I’ve watched, nor even one I could call a favorite, its themes are beautifully illustrated through the series’ characters.

A sequel is an admission that you’ve been reduced to imitating yourself.

So, we have a strong foundation of what Alien is now, right? Fantastic lighting and sound design to create a truly scary atmosphere. Nuanced characterization to create people that seem very real. A monster that avoids sight until absolutely necessary to reveal itself to the audience. All these things are what I focused on in the last post because those were what I believed made a great Alien movie. Well today, we’re going to take some of those things, have them directed by somebody completely different, and turn up the schlock to the nth degree. Get ready folks, because here comes 1986’s Aliens. Let’s dig in:

Enjoy 🙂 Leth is here too!
No my pandas, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. A wild Leth has appeared and it’s a rare opportunity to catch him. You better bust out your Poké balls…no…Great balls in order to catch him. Maybe throw some berries or a Pokéblock in order to get him to stay.
All jokes aside Jon, Leth and I are here to bring you guys another play by play of Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS. This time we are diving into episode 10! Yes, I know episode 11 is out now…buuut this is progress for the boys! I mean…Leth is getting married in like a week and I am surprised he can even join us for this episode review/thoughts. Say it with me guys, “GO LETH, GO!” Leth has also made progress on his own blog and brought us an awesome post on why My Anime List is important. If you want to check…

Life has been busy. My new job is requiring a lot of effort on my part. I haven’t had a lot of time to write. Mostly been sleeping…
Here’s our long due collab for the newest WIXOSS season though!
Sorry for the very long and very extensive title! Yes, the boys have been super busy with their personal lives. If you didn’t already know Leth is getting married in just a few short weeks and Jon just started a new job not too long ago. I know they both have been very very busy IRL. With that said, I decided to take it upon myself to get our episode thoughts out to you all. Well…at least Jon’s and mines thoughts anyways XD
Leth you totally get a free pass because you’ve been planning a wedding…but don’t think you can get away with all this freeloading in the future good sir! Ayano-senpai collects her debts when they are due! Hahaha…all jokes aside I wanted to get something out for our followers because episode 10 just aired today and I didn’t want to get even further behind. I think we would…

Episode 6 and 7 review of the WIXOSS collab is live!
If it’s not one thing, it’s another for our poor Leth. He is currently out sick now. I’m wishing him a speedy recovery because I enjoy having him on this collab post…but sometimes life just gets in the way of things. Personal life always comes before anything else! Remember to take care of your health guys. That includes mental health as well!
Today is going to be a combined post of Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS episode 6 and 7. Jon and I had our thoughts completed for episode 6 last week and Leth was supposed to host the half way point but that is when he fell ill. So I am here to bring you both episodes! Let’s get into our thoughts for episode 6 first.
Jon: Finally! The show did the smart thing and is getting everything ready to move forward with all the girls working teaming up. The…
