Farewell Zombie Land Saga

Just watched the final episode and I’ve gotta say I really enjoyed the show all up. The first couple of episodes really packed a punch with high energy and constantly surprising comedy and it never fully capitalised on that potential but it instead delivered a pretty decent character- driven idol story.

The character designs and voice acting were definitely stand-out on this one.

The final episode did a good job of pulling together threads throughout the whole run to focus on the final character and end on a satisfying note of finality. Although there’s room for more I’m not sure it would work too well tbh, the zombie premise seems to have already run its course.

Sexy New Figure from Native

Native aren’t usually my favourite figure maker, but they’ve really got me on this one.

It’s a 1/8 scale figure of original illustration character, Sara in stunning bunny girl lingerie. What’s more, the lingerie can be removed to put her body on full display!

Lewdness aside, her delicate facial features and richly coloured eyes make her quite the beautiful figure.

She’s on my wishlist..

Imouto Sae Ireba Ii Limited Addition Comes with a Card Game

Featuring the god-tier bishoujo artwork of Kantoku and snappy, engaging writing, Imouto Sae Ireba Ii is one of my favourite novel series.

I found out that the limited release edition of the brand new volume 11 comes with a pretty cool – an imouto themed card game. I haven’t seen a photo of the rules yet, but it looks like a pretty simple and amusing self-contained game based on what I can see on the cards.

It might just be the Kantoku artwork beckoning me but I really want to get my hands on this.

NieR Automatica Meets Soul Calibur VI

I note with enthusiasm that the NieR Automatica DLC for Soul Calibur 6 has been released, the highlight of which is that the leading lady 2B is now a playable character.

Most importantly, the DLC does not waste the potential of B2/A2’s various assets, with the costumes giving plenty of eye candy.

I haven’t got around to buying the game yet, but this is definitely pushing me to get it.

I want to play Senran Kagura Peach Ball..

So the latest Senran Kagura game came out the other day in Japan for Switch. The theme this time of animal girls is totally my style so I really can’t wait to play it. Combining pinball with sexiness is an ..innovative concept to say the least, but as long as it’s quick casual fun I’m all onboard.

Not sure it will get a Western release so might need to get by with my average Japanese skills..

Gran Blue Game Announcements

Granblue Fest is over and the highlights were clear:

New Gameplay Footage for ReLink

I could never really get into the GranBlue mobile game (mainly because I’m too lazy to get it installed on my phone), but I’ve always loved the art and designs. So I’ve been keenly awaiting this game as a way for me to get into the series. This sneak of gameplay looks really promising with stunning visuals and fun, dynamic gameplay! Definitely excited to grab this when it comes out on PS4 (despite Sony’s censorship crap..)

 

Reveal Trailer for Granblue Fantasy Versus

Another great announcement, this one a 2D fighting game for PS4. I dabbled in Guilty Gear and Blazblue, and this obviously has a similar playstyle but with those luscious, beautiful Granblue designs. Definitely interested in this one too.
