If I were to try to briefly describe what the anime Classroom Crisis is like, I’d say it’s similar to an 80s “save the rec-center” movie—only set on Mars and involving teenage rocket scientists. …Okay, actually, that may make it sound better than it really is. In the not-so-distant future, mankind has colonized Mars thanks…

Better still, the cast was in full costume; and Japanese website Natalie was there…
Arpeggio of Blue Steel was one of my favorite anime of 2013. And while it’s been a bit of a wait for this feature film conclusion, it was worth it. [Note: This review contains major spoiler for the TV series Arpeggio of Blue Steel. For a non-spoiler look at the series that spawned this film,…
Disney’s Tsum Tsum is a worldwide hit and one of Japan’s biggest mobile games—which is why it’s not surprising that someone at Konami decided to take a giant touch screen, turn it sideways and make Tsum Tsum into an arcade game.

I really enjoyed Persona 4: Dancing All Night. And so did Fahey. But as fun as it was on the Vita, there’s something special about playing it on a giant arcade cabinet. When playing Persona 4: Dancing All Night a few months back, something struck me as very familiar—namely the interface. After all, if you…
