Every Round of Tetris I've Ever Played Has Been in Preparation of Slaying All 98 of You in Tetris 99
The free-to-play, Nintendo-published Tetris 99 was both announced and released for Switch during today’s Nintendo Direct. Its battle royale-inspired concept of 99 players going against each other in a single match immediately drew comparisons to Fortnite.

Pokémon: I Choose You - The AniTAY Review
Pokémon: I Choose You arrived on Netflix worldwide in January, the twenty-third anniversary of the franchise is nearly upon us, and AniTAY is trying to reinvigorate its site’s reviews. Using that thin pretext as an excuse to write about Pokémon, let’s discuss the film. Please note that I was only able to watch the dub…
A Look at All the Differences in Japan's Nintendo Direct
While there was a LOT to get excited for in the English versions of February 13th’s Nintendo Direct, the Japanese one actually had even more games stuffed into its runtime. Now, most of those exclusive games have already been announced to be coming out in the West (or are already released in certain cases), but it’s…
Alita: Battle Angel The AniTAY Review
Two of my favorite pastimes, anime and film, rarely meet in the form of productions.

The Weekend eSports - EVO in Japanese
It’s EVO, but it’s in Fukuoka, Japan. Sorry I’m technically late. Day 1 is already over. But the time difference is insane. I was asleep. Avoid any spoilers and watch the VODs. That’s what I’m gonna have to do, living in Europe. Still, there’s plenty going on this weekend, so you’ll still have something to watch while…
Alita: Battle Angel is a divine technical marvel amid a scrapheap of adaptations
I never personally experienced the Alita manga series or saw much from the OVA anime adaptation outside of a few select sequences here and there over the years. All I knew about the property heading into this movie were two things. The first of which being that the series was quite beloved by those who had experienced…
Koda's Anime Favorites of 2018
Welp, better late than never I suppose. 2018 was just a stellar year for anime, and I found myself consistently entertained all year long. In total I saw 51 anime to completion, with an outstanding 12 of them earning platinum medals from me, the highest praise I could grant a show last year. Needless to say, with such…
