Voltron

I love this game! Okay, surely there is some bias, since my affair with Voltron goes back to childhood – don’t forget, I still own the original Bandai GoLion. But this game should fulfill the expectations of mobile gamers. 

Happily Ever After

Based on the popular comic strip, Happily Ever After depicts the quotidian misadventures of Yukie and Isao. An odd couple, Yukie is the timid, devoted housewife to the laconic, moody Isao. What’s worse, she has apparently married down; at least that’s what her friends keep whispering. Isao is not simply a temperamental man, but unemployed yakuza!

Blood

The story of Saya, the human-vampire hybrid destined to rid the Earth of the blood-sucking undead, has a near cultish following in the manga and anime world. And so, it’s no surprise that her hunt for Onigen, the strongest and perhaps progenitor of the modern vampire, has finally been translated into a live-action Hollywood flick.

Ultimo

Here are few new titles to keep a critical eye open for.  

Black Butler

Itsuwaribito

Whether we like it or not, lying and deception are part of the heroic tradition. Enter Utsuho. A troublemaker at heart, he’s intent on using his wicked ways for good. 

Rin Daughters of Mnemosyne

Rin is a private dick in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district. She also happens to be immortal! Within in her resides the time fruit of Yggdrasil, the tree of all life. Yet, immortal she may be, Apos, a hermaphroditic demi-god, desires to tear this berry from her body and devour its delectable memories. Over sixty-five years, and cases ranging from lost identities to missing virtual girls, Rin will have her body torn apart, even blown up, as she folds time to unravel her destiny.
