British Characters in Anime & Manga

After watching Kiniro Mosaic, and thoroughly enjoying every moment of it, I decided I would take a look at characters who hail from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, just because I can. Take a look at this list, and then consider if all anime happened to come true through some ridiculous event; the UK would probably do quite well in protecting itself. Also, I will only be looking at characters from the anime I've watched and the manga I have read.

Rory's Reviews: Kiniro Mosaic

So, another anime series has come to an end, which means it's review time. I should probably say before I get this started, that I have a strong bias towards Kiniro Mosaic, and I don't really know if my review will be helpful or not. Basically, I'm going to go on about how much I loved watching it, and probably not mention much in the way of negative points. Anyway, on with the review!

Wii Fit U Direct

Once again, Nintendo went and dropped a Nintendo Direct on us without any prior warning. As you may have guessed, this is about the upcoming Wii Fit U. Personally, this doesn't really interest me, but I figure it's worth going over anyway.

A Closer Look at the Autumn 2013 Anime Season

A while back, I mentioned the anime I am looking forward to watching for the upcoming season. I gave brief outlines of each one, and why I was looking forward to them. You may remember that there was a lot that I didn't really have too much information on. In order to rectify that, the plan is to have this blog post talk about the plot of each anime, the air dates and number of episodes. I will try to include videos as well.
Oh, and I will be referring to TV Tropes, and AniChart for information.

Touhou: The Characters of Double Dealing Character

It's been a while since the release of the fourteenth Touhou game, but I have decided to take a look at the characters within it. Better late than never, huh? Anyway, there are some familiar faces mixed in with the new ones, and I'll be going over all of them.

Rory's Reviews: Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya

As we approached the end of the summer 2013 anime season, shows must start coming to an end. The first one to do so is Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya, which isn't really a surprise, considering it was a mere ten episodes long.

My review is based on the anime alone, as I haven't read the manga. Anyway, let's begin.

Rory's Wii U Game of the Month

So, I wasn't sure whether I was going to get a game or not this month, due to saving up for the London MCM Comic Con. However, it turns out I can use my ShopTo points to drastically reduce the price of a game. In this case, I had enough to get this particular game for free.

Autumn 2013 Anime

So, I have recently looked to the past for anime I have watched, so I figure now is a good time to look to the future. Once again, I'll be referring to TV Tropes for titles and translations.

The Anime I Watched During the Previous Seasons

So, I started this blog some time ago, though I made zero mention of the spring 2013 season of anime. I figured the time has come to address that, so here's a quick rundown of the anime I enjoyed during the Winter and Spring 2013 anime seasons.

A Tactician's Journal 23 - Storming the Fort

In the last Tactician's Journal, a break was had in order to allow the characters to become stronger and develop bonds. Those bonds that have been built won't be properly revealed until the appropriate side stories. Anyway, back to the plot, Red and the Shepherds find themselves at Fort Steiger.

Catching Up: The Wonderful 101 Direct

So yeah, I decided to watch the Wonderful 101 Direct, and I have to say, it has hyped me up.

Rory's Wii U Game of the Month

There are a few 3rd party titles being released for the Wii U this month, but there is only one I have my eye on. Oh, and sorry, Ubisoft, but it isn't Rayman Legends.

Rory's 3DS Game of the Month

So, after changed release dates and some speculation, it seems that I have finally settled on the 3DS game I will be buying for myself this month.

Catching Up: Nintendo Direct 7/8/2013

So, only a week after it initially aired, here are my impressions of the last Nintendo Direct.

I'm Back!

So, I've been gone for a couple of weeks, as I am sure around zero people noticed. However, now I am back from saving the world (or maybe I had no access to the internet for awhile, I'm not sure...) I should probably preview some of my upcoming stuff.

A Tactician's Journal 22 - Basically Taking a Break

Previously, Red and the Shepherds met with the Voice of Naga, and were able to acquire an important item. With that summary done, let's get into the next entry, which will probably contain spoilers. Usual statement about being warned about spoilers here.

A Tactician's Journal 21 - A Huge Tree and the Voice

Last time, Red and the Shepherds arrived on the continent of Valm. There, they were able to enlist the help of the swordmaster Say'ri, and agreed to join her fight against the Conqueror. There'll be spoilers, probably, so consider this your usual warning.

A Tactician's Journal 20 - Battle in the Harbour

Last time, Red and the Shepherds had a battle at sea. That pretty much sums things up, so I guess we can get straight in to today's entry into the tactician's journal.

First Impressions: RWBY

And now for an impression of something that isn't technically an anime. TV Tropes describes it as an "Animesque CGI production from Rooster Teeth, animated by Monty Oum." Now, I'm only slightly aware of one of Rooster Teeth's work, Red vs. Blue.
Monty Oum, however, has produced a couple of things I'm more familiar with. The first is Haloid, an animation of a Spartan from the Halo series of video games fighting Samus Aran. The next is Dead Fantasy,  a series of animations featuring characters from Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive beating the living daylights out of each other. Both Haloid and Dead Fantasy are epic, action-packed animations, which is why learning that Monty Oum had created this got me interested in RWBY.

Time for my thoughts on it, I guess...

Nintendo Direct Mini From Out of Nowhere!

So here's a nice unexpected surprise. Today, on the Wii U eShop, a new Nintendo Direct has been made available. Coincidentally, the Wii U eShop's news tab revealed the release of a game that I thought would be arriving later this year...
