I went into this movie generally expecting the game but with a bit more. What I got instead was the realization that the game is a demo for the movie in terms of scope. It's genuinely impressive what they managed to do with a limited space with practical effects in large part.

Majestic Prince: Genetic Awakening

If you've seen Majestic Prince then this movie is the perfect sendoff. It highlights the best parts of the show which is the fantastic action and the team dynamics, and feels like a proper ending point for the series.

You rarely see games like this anymore. A section-based world with unique mechanics and a style that ages wonderfully. I understand why this is a classic, and although I have a few minor gripes, it really is just that fun if your eyes don't get strained like mine on occasion.

J-Decker is a series I learned about from SRW 30 last year, and that game was a good introduction that couldn't contain the heart in this show at all. Exploring human emotions through robots is something I find this show does beautifully, and I truly hope more people check it out.

I'd be interested, and at the least it could work as a monthly tip jar if nothing else, but naturally more bonuses will attract more like what you've mentioned

Second we have the first game of the year: Ball x Pit. It's not as addictive as some other games of its type for me, but if you want to spend ~30 hours on a satisfying loop of fantasy pinball this is the game for you. Quick, fun and to the point.

7/10

Starting with Kiki's Delivery Service! I haven't seen too much Ghibli, but there's a certain timeless quality to this movie in how well it holds up. There's a lot to be said about the beauty of trying new things and always getting back up when you're chasing a passion. Never stop trying.

In a bid to be a bit more interactive in social media spaces (and to log my watched shows this year), I'm going to kick off posting on this account with a media thread!
