by Leave a Comment

Artist: mullpull

It has been a while since Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica first aired in 2011. Since then, there have been two movies which is a recap of the anime series with better animation. Of course, there are also two console games released, bunch of manga spinoff series, a dedicated Manga Time Kirara magazine filled with Madoka stuff, and recently, a smart phone game, Magia Record.

Of course, there is also a sequel movie, which starts where the anime and the first two movies left off. That movie is of course the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Movie 3: Rebellion Story.

Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Side Story – Mobile Game First Impressions

by 1 Comment

Artist: ぼや野

If you recall in 2011, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica took a different spin of the magical girl genre focusing on the darker aspects. With that, similar anime series such as Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku and Mahou Shoujo Site followed the leader in the genre, especially the former. I have to admit that I still have to see the Rebellion movie and will do so someday.

Of course, the Madoka Magica franchise had two licensed games such as Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Portable and Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica The Battle Pentagram, which I reviewed. Besides these two games, there are actually a good number of mobile games based off the franchise as well. While they are only available in Japan only and short-lived, mobile gaming has evolved since then.

In 2017, eventually a new mobile game called Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Side Story, which released for iPhones and Android smartphones. It features new characters along with other magical girls from other spinoffs. Currently, there is a stage play and manga adaptation with an anime adaptation coming later this year.

After Pocket Monsters Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon’s release, many fans of Pokémon anticipated a core Pokémon game release on the Nintendo Switch. However, Game Freak surprised many fans with some becoming angry about the new direction with Pocket Monsters Let’s Go! Pikachu and Eevee.

While Game Freak reiterated that the core Pokémon game most are expecting is still being worked on, they insist that this game is a core Pokémon game. Pocket Monsters Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee is probably the most controversial core series Pokémon game release to date. Does it deserve the hate? Let’s find out.

Kase-san and Morning Glories (OVA) – Final Review

by 3 Comments


In 2018 alone, yuri-genre shows have received more anime adaptations. However, it trends more towards the soap opera or edgy variety as seen with Citrus or Happy Sugar Life instead of an ideal fluffy love story without conflict.

Kase-sanis on the opposite side of the spectrum. The series itself focuses more on the warm and fluffy love story with a lot of sweet moments. The original video animation focuses on content in the first volume after they had their first kiss.
