Current mood: HE'S GAY AND EUROPEAN!
Steam had a summer sale so retail therapy held me in metaphorical gunpoint and told me to experience the AA series. I was supposed to get it on Steam, but they rejected my credit card so I went to the next best platform: the PS4. Unfortunately PS store also didn't want my money, so I had to go out and buy a gift card to redeem later... it was worth all the hassle though!
Current mood: pride month is not over, SULEMIO WINS!!!!!
I don't follow the Gundam series at all, mostly because it's all war, child soldiers, politics and fantastic racism. Never touched it since SEED, and even then I managed to stomach all of it because of shipping (Destiny ruined the ship but they patched it back up later, as I've mentioned before). Then the internet (was it tumblr or the bird app??? idr) just had to show me the wham scene from the first episode, and I was sold. Lesbians???? Count me in!!!! But don't let the cute art style and sapphics fool you; this is a Gundam story first and foremost, so things are bound to be fucked up.
To sum it up: imagine The Tempest by Shakespeare crossed over with Revolutionary Girl Utena. An unusual combo, but it works.
Current mood: (put the gif in here ig)
The 90s anime that shook the world and triggered the awakening of queer people everywhere, Revolutionary Girl Utena is surreal as it is sapphic. It has been in my watch list for the longest time and I tried my best to avoid spoilers because everyone warned of the twists and I wanted to experience it for myself. But I never got around to watching it because where do you watch 90s anime with subtitles online??? Nearly impossible to find... until now. Turns out you just need to know where to look.
The internet isn't joking this anime will fuck you up. Badly.
Current mood: (chapter 1) I'm going to cry (chapter 2) I'm going to cry (chapter 3) I'm going to cry ... (chapter 9) ok I'm crying
After (finally) getting the platinum for Tales of Graces f, I was thinking of going back to a PS4 game (I alternate consoles between games to keep things fresh) but I didn't want to play another action game... and here I am, playing exactly that.
This game is nearly 7 years old! Man, I'm really slow on the uptake. It's the infamous 10-year development hell game -- Final Fantasy XV! Usual disclaimer: getting spoiled on things does not make me immune to feels.
Current mood: rated 17+ for asshole adults and child soldiers
I was supposed to play God Eater 2 Rage Burst but that game proved to be too difficult for my puny brain to process and so here I am, completing something else entirely. These two have been hanging out in my backlog as jrpg-adjacent games that I convinced myself to get because one comes from a sickeningly popular franchise and another contains the genius which is Go Shiina. Take a wild guess which is which.
Type-0 was originally a PSP game set within the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos. Like any game in the FNC collection, there are staples like fal'cie and l'cie, gods pulse and etro, of crystals and focuses, but otherwise the lore is independent of the other series in the collection which is the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy. The HD version was later developed for international release and new gen consoles and PC in 2015, so here we are.
