It's the end of an era as Japanese imperial figure Emperor Akihito abdicates the Chrysanthemum Throne, making way for the Reiwa period which starts today. Let's celebrate with some useful anime-related stats. Like what the top ranking animes and anime heroines are from 1989 to 30 April 2019. The results may not shock

When you think games like Street Fighter V or Uncharted 4, you think Capcom and Naughty Dog. But you never think of names like Streamline Studios or even Virtuos. The reality is those latter companies are knee-deep in developing these games moreso than you think. The third-party asset-creation company is integral in g

Released in 1999, Final Fantasy VIII (FFVIII) seems to be one of the forgotten titles from the classic Final Fantasy era. Nobody is to be blamed from this, though, because its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII, was a cult hit that spawned multiple spinoffs and still is being spoken up to this very day. [caption id="attac

Spring 2019 has just begun and with it a ton of new anime to watch. Sure, ongoing shows are always around, but there's no harm in taking a break from Sword Art Online to check out something new. For spring, you can expect big productions from renowned studios as always, but we've also picked out several from under the

In a world where live-service games are popular, it's hard not to compare each of the games against one another. Moreover, the market for such games is almost saturated. So, each of the products in the market should have a unique selling proposition. So, recently I peeled off from my daily dose of Destiny 2 to dive

In honour of Sekiro's One-Armed Wolf, a shinobi/ninja with a grappling hook and the ability to resurrect when needed, let's talk about video games' plethora of silent killers, one-man powerhouses, and black/white-clad sword-wielding shuriken-chucking heroes: the video game ninja. Unlike the real-life variant, most v

For many people, music has the ability to touch emotions and pull listeners into the moment. How people enjoy music can range from warming, comforting, to even inspiring. Just as we may listen to music depending on our mood, so too is music used to really give that needed charm to a scene in a show. Anime has always u

The first Lego Movie was, quite simply, awesome. A stunning mix of a hilarious unpredictable script, a great cast and fun metafictional elements all wrapped up in an amazing animation style that brought the Danish construction bricks and minifigs to life like never before. The only thing that could be more awesome wou

Platform: PS4, Xbox One Genre: Action, JRPG Can a game live up to the unbridled level of anticipation and hype which has been slowly building over 14 years, from a franchise which initially began almost two decades ago? The Kingdom Hearts franchise merits a sense of nostalgia and furore unrivalled by arguably any ot

Winter is finally here. The snow’s out in full force, so there’s no better time to dive under the blankets, sip on a nice cup of hot chocolate and watch some of the newest anime offerings. Well, unless you're in the steaming tropics of Malaysia - in that case, tough luck. The New Year is filled with bran

With only a few weeks left until release, more details for Kingdom Hearts 3 are beginning to come to light. The full trophy list for the highly-anticipated Square Enix title has been revealed by Reddit user DeftonesBandPSN, who ripped it directly from PSN servers. By the looks of it, there will be a total of 46 trophie

Recently, Malaysia's Sultan Muhammad has stepped down as the King of the country. The news came as a shock to many, particularly his relatives in Kelantan. It is rather sudden to see his reign cut short since 2016. So to pay tribute to the former Agong abdicating the throne, we're going to turn our frowns upside-down

I know I always say this, but it's a great time to be a comics fan. There's never been a better era for comic book adaptations and that includes comic book movies. Every year has been bigger than the last, and 2018 was an especially incredible one, with critically-acclaimed already-iconic Avengers: Infinity War and Spi

Girl climbs mountain; like, hard level mountain. I feel like I’m a 10 years old gamer from the late 1980 as I played this game. Partly because I kept dying again and again while trying to jump, dash and climb. I’ve been listening to the Celeste original soundtrack. This soundtrack is intense in terms of

Update (16/12/2018): New tier list. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is out, and we love every minute of it. But if you're new to the game, it may come off as daunting. The roster here is pretty huge for a crossover Nintendo game, after all. And they're pretty darn different to play as if we're sticking to typical fighting

Aquaman will be the one and only DC Comics movie coming out in 2018, as well as the last comic book movie of the year. It will arrive with high expectations, especially since it will be the first DCEU (DC Extended Universe) movie to be released since 2017's Justice League (which was the lowest-grossing entry in the fra

Shigeru Miyamato's action-adventure brainchild, The Legend of Zelda, is a timeless game meant for all ages. Yet somehow the main character Link can't seem to get top billing for the games he's in. Regardless, they're a bag of fun because they focus a lot on exploration, adventuring, and problem-solving. You're not

Geoff Keighley's patented Game Awards show is going to be a thing this December. As such, we're curious about the nominees for this year's showing. We've got them now; turns out these picks aren't big surprises if you've kept up with your gaming. What's really cool is that you can also pick your favourite esports host

Recently, Bandai Namco announced Nier's combat android 2B' arrival in Soulcalibur 6. She looks A-OK to play as; I sure as heck can't wait to get my hands on this android. https://www.facebook.com/kakuchopurei/videos/2779509852074408/ This got us thinking: who else should guest star in Soulcalibur 6? From video games

Just a heads up: in this review, we will be treating Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout as a standalone game and compare it against other games of its genre such as PUBG and Fortnite. Having said that, is this brand new battle royale entry any good? Where does it stand compared to the two behemoths monopolizin
