Guest Post: Unearthed Treasures with Firechick: Digimon Adventure Pilot (82/100)

Digimon has been a part of my life for about as long as I can remember. I religiously watched the 1999 TV series as a kid, along with the seasons afterward (With the exception of Data Squad and Fusion). It’s one of those series where every time I rewatch it, I always manage to discover … Continue reading Guest Post: Unearthed Treasures with Firechick: Digimon Adventure Pilot (82/100)

Guest Post: Unearthed Treasures with Firechick: Dog of Flanders Movie (97/100)

I’ve watched many movies throughout my childhood. Namely the Pokemon movies, some Disney movies (namely Aladdin), and others. But none of them have really made a huge impact on me because of the limited time they have to get made. Characters aren’t always developed, plots are too narrow, and some just turn out plain terrible. … Continue reading Guest Post: Unearthed Treasures with Firechick: Dog of Flanders Movie (97/100)

Guest Post: Unearthed Baubles with Firechick: Pokemon Trading Card Game GBC (65/100)

Hey Pokemaniacs, remember when we used to collect Pokemon cards, trade them with our friends, and participate in card battles? I sure do! In light of the Pokemon games’ massive success, companies began marketing it to hell and back, making and selling all sorts of tie-in toys, games, and cards to further make money off … Continue reading Guest Post: Unearthed Baubles with Firechick: Pokemon Trading Card Game GBC (65/100)

A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School Short Synopsis: A pathetic failure becomes the new teacher of a school for Spirits.

Bye Bye, Earth Anime Review – 66/100

One of the main reasons I prefer novel adaptations to manga or light novels is that, usually, it’s harder for a novel to get picked up for one. To get that kind of attention, to get noticed, it’s hard. They don’t have the same mainstream reach. Why I’m not sure, maybe people just don’t like … Continue reading Bye Bye, Earth Anime Review – 66/100

Guest Post: Unearthed Treasure: The Summer You Were There (82/100)

Man, it seems like the yuri/shoujo-ai genre is going through some kind of renaissance, what with so many of those titles being ported to the US, and several of them actually managing to range from good to amazing. I don’t typically find myself reading a lot of yuri or shoujo-ai manga, more due to lack … Continue reading Guest Post: Unearthed Treasure: The Summer You Were There (82/100)

I Parry Everything Anime Review – 73/100

There’s no shortage of OP MC fantasy shows out there. Even ignoring the entire Isekai sub-genre, your still left with shows like MASHLE, Tower of God, Solo Leveling, the list goes on. Point is, there’s a lot of them, and standing out can be hard. Some do it with fantastic animation, good comedy, or compelling … Continue reading I Parry Everything Anime Review – 73/100

Warhammer: 40,000 – The Horus Heresy – Horus Rising by Dan Abnett

Welcome all, to the first book of my Warhammer 40k book club and our introduction to the Horus Heresy, Horus Rising! I wasn’t sure what to expect from Horus Rising to be honest, I’ve never read a book from the First Founding/31st Millennium time period. It’s very different from modern Warhammer 40k, containing a lot … Continue reading Warhammer: 40,000 – The Horus Heresy – Horus Rising by Dan Abnett
