I don’t mean this in the way the reviewers I respect mean it, in the way they talk about the content of sex in the show. The sexuality of the show is actually quite repulsive. If you get off on it, think of what you’re finding out about yourself. That may make... | | |
| 6:47pm | Tadanari Okamoto DVD box on June 24 | | | | Why do Gobelins films move so fast? It's an overgeneralization, but I often find the actions seem too fast to me.

| 1:00pm | Sacred 2 Review |  | | | I picked up and played this game without a lot of knowledge on what it was about. Even after playing it for a while and beating it, trying out several different characters and exploring a plethora of side quests it’s hard to nail down exactly a specific genre or type of game this falls into. On one... | | |
