Hello and Good Monday, Giga-Friends!
J.R here again one last time before my 2 week vacation!
This time I talk about how Neptunia is a trashy game but I absolutely adore it and, by extension, Vert (the bestest goddess).
Also, I gush about Bunny Girl Senpai and how much I love it and you should be watching too because it's great and it makes my kokoro go doki doki. It's probably the most well written show this season, and this coming from a guy who watches at least 1-3 episodes of almost every anime in a season!
Also, dibs on Mai.
Also, Also, dibs on Sakuta. FIGHT ME!
See you in a few weeks, my lovely Giga-Friends!

Hello for the second week in a row, Giga-Landers!
J.R here again with another Fall Anime season preview, albeit . . . a little (lot) late!
First up is SSSS.Gridman because who knew that sentai and thicc ass thighs would mix so well? This 90's tokusatsu TV show has gotten the Studio Trigger treatment and looks absolutely amazing! If you go into it expecting what you'd expect from a Power Rangers series, you'll love it!
Second is Zombieland Saga. Cute, dead, sexy, dead, idol girls headbang, rap battle, and dance their way to infamy all to save a tiny prefecture called Saga. Still can't tell if the charismatic jerk who revived them is good or bad . . . all I know is its entertaining.
Lastly is our sports anime of the season, Hinomaru Sumo! While the animation in the first episode was brilliant, much after has been less so. But, if you're a sucker for sports or sumo, this one is very fun to watch while beholding very large high school boys slap the crap out of each other!
BEHOLD! And become happier to the Nth degree!

Hello and Good Monday, Giga-Friends!
J.R here again, freaking out like everyone else over 2B getting into Soul Calibur 6. Glory to Mankind! Good thing something exists to take take the bad taste out of my mouth that Warriors Orochi 4 left. Also, trash Waifu games like Neptunia.
Don't judge me.
I also talk about my favorite anime this season, and some others that just didn't make the cut.
Tonari no Kyuuketsu-san is pretty cute, if you want a light-hearted comedy/slice of life with a HEAVY HELPING of yuri (yes you need to shout that). It also asks the real questions, like: How many dakimakuras can one fit inside their coffin? These are the hard-hitting questions we need answered.
Yuri will save the world, one day.

Hello Good Giga-Landers!
Autumn is here and with it, a new season of anime! Yours Truly has set it upon himself to watch tons of anime this season, just to find out what's good to watch! Spoiler Alert: A lot!
First off is our resident R17+ anime, watcher beware, anime, Goblin Slayer! Having read the manga/light novel for so long, I'm ecstatic to finally see some disgusting, vile goblins slain in every fashion imaginable!
Secondly is TenSlime - yet another isekai, but this time, the guy is a crazy powerful slime who is friends with a tsundere dragon! Also, in this one, the goblins are nice guys. Don't kill these ones.
Lastly, and a close second place for me, is Bunny Girl Senpai. I couldn't find anything that depicted the anime particularly well, so I took the job myself. It's a fantastic mystery/romance with tiny bits of sci-fi elements in between. With fantastic dialogue and comedy, with some scenes to make your heart race, it's shaping up to be a real winner this season!
Read on, and watch the dream!

Hello and Good Monday, Giga-Landers!
J.R here again after being too sick to play Warriors Orochi 4 or Soul Calibur 6. For shame.
Both are fairly fun and I did get just enough time in to get into the meat of both games. Highly recommend SC6, slightly recommend WO4 under certain conditions. I just love the cross over aspect. . .
Goblin Slayer is still really fun, and I'm falling in love with Bunny Girl Senpai. Want to know what not to watch? Conception. There is nothing in that anime that made me feel like this was something worth watching. Nothing was funny, literally none of the jokes had any comedic timing, it didn't look visually appealing, and the story is puddle-deep.
NEXT SHOW PLEASE!

Hello and Good Tuesday, again, Giga-Friends!
I'm definitely not sick today and definitely not too sick to play my new games! . . . (insert Spongebob trying not to cry meme here. . .).
I picked up The World Ends With You for the Switch and it's just as amazing as I remember it. Everything from the story, to the characters, to how stylish everything is just gives me this feeling of, not just nostalgia, but of something different and I love it. Highly recommend.
Still loving Goblin Slayer and some of the creative liberties the anime has taken. Also enjoying the heck out of Zombieland Saga. It's about moe zombie anime idol girls. Yep.
I recommend watching until the end of the second episode. It . . . I . . . I've never seen something like this done in anime before . . . just do it!

Hello and Good Tuesday, Giga-Friends!
J.R here again after a day off, because I'm lazy on those days.
After finishing extremely good games like Nier: Automata and Hollow Knight, I had a choice: pick up Xenoblade Chronicles again, or play a weaboo-ass game. I think we all know which choice my sorry ass made.
Goblin Slayer finally aired, but not without breaking the internet. I've said it once, I've said it 100x, this light novel/manga/anime is not for the faint of heart (R17+). Watch with caution. (I thought it was good though).
Also, Bunny Girl Senpai was kind of crazy, kind of weird, but totally intriguing. Looking forward to watching more of that anime. And not just because I like bunny ears.

Hello and Good Monday, Giga-Landers!
J.R here again reminding you Grand Blue was anime of the season and Azusa is best girl, fight me.
Also, Hollow Knight was a fairly spectacular game. One of the few games where you more out of it, the more you put in. True Ending, first run. Look at me go. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a Souls-like challenge in their gaming.
Also, I rant about some anime that aired this season and why Grand Blue is the best. BECAUSE IT IS!
Anime, man. It's serious business.

Hello and Good Monday, Giga-Friends!
I wish I could tell you how great Fangaea was, as everyone who went told me, but I got incredibly sick and couldn't go because I'm an enormous loser.
On a side note, I was able to finish one of the greatest PS4 games ever conceived (before I got sick), Nier: Automata. Let me tell you, the hype about that game is well deserved. And what strikes me as odd is that the community is so fantastic about keeping the twists and turns of the game a complete secret from newbies like me!
Also, anime! Angolmois isn't all that good and it's kinda sad because it made me look forward to the Ghost of Tsushima game. On the other hand, Grand Blue has me cackling like a mad man!

Hello and Good Tuesday, Giga-Friends!
I hope those of you down here in San Diego have a free weekend because Fangaea is having it's first ever convention on Saturday and Sunday! It's a ton of different fandoms and events mixed into one weekend and there's already a plethora of things to do! Also, famed voice actor, Derek Stephen Prince, will be MC'ing the con on its maiden voyage!
Also, anime. A die a little inside when an extremely good (or a show I just plain like) ends. Steins;Gate 0 has been blowing me out of the water every week and I KNOW you saw the Deku vs. Bakugo fight! Someone save me! *hears Jojo's Bizarre Adventure coming to rescue him*
