I've had a lot of fun reading the indie Cyberpunk comic Ronin of Okane, the fifth volume of which launches a Kickstarter tomorrow. It's a cracking read and highly recommended - I've put down my thoughts on the series here:

Kaiju No.8 expands its universe in season 2, a show that's rapidly becoming a favourite with its mix of hideous monsters, great characters and incredible action:

Despite a frustrating cliffhanger ending, the expansion of the Kaiju No.8 universe is deftly handled by Production I.G. who pull off yet another great season of top-tier shonen.

"The overall experience crumbles under the weight of questionable ludic choices"

Majkol Robuschi is impressed by the ambition of Silent Hill f from Konami but comes away ultimately underwhelmed:

#SilentHillf #Gamereview #horror
Silent Hill f
In conclusion, Silent Hill f is a profoundly ambitious chapter, yet one ultimately incapable of carrying the weight of the expectations placed upon it.

"There's plenty to both like and fear in this creature that has come to live among the villagers"

The Summer Hikaru Died is a superior horror on @netflixanime.bsky.social

The Summer Hikaru Died
Dark, funny and disturbing, it's a surprisingly deep portrayal of two outsiders relying on each other for survival in a world that's just not quite right. A creepy delight.

"The narrative is perfectly paced, the characters engaging and the romance (or lack thereof) deftly handled."

Ross takes a walk on the manwha side with Baroness Goes on Strike from Crossed Hearts publishing:

www.uk-anime.net/Manga/Barone...

#manwha #comics #romance #fantasy
Baroness Goes on Strike Vol. 1
The book is beautifully presented, the story lively and characters engaging - the time-travel mechanic may be a trope, but it's executed with verve and humour. Recommended for frustrated romantics!

Following last year’s upbeat showing, Tokyo Game Show 2025 was even busier and bustling with lots of people. I also played more games than I thought possible.
