As if I already didn't have enough reasons to stop procrastinating on finishing up SRW Y's main campaign & start the new sequel expansion that apparently covers Witch from Mercury S2, the final boss is apparently a goth mommy designed by Wataru Watanabe.

I personally think it was a big misfire to uhhh... show what the last ~5 minutes of the Fire Emblem: Fortune Weave's Direct showed off. Even if people deliberately avoid watching it entirely so they don't spoil the game for themselves, dodging all that info online is gonna be nearly impossible.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

I learned that I should go see more early morning showings for films; it was nice arriving at 7am without a big crowd. Spider-Man Brand New Day isn't my favorite SM film, but it's up there; felt like an extended episode of the cartoon I watched growing up. Enjoyable & my fav out of Holland for sure.

Super Robot Wars Y is receiving an Anniversary Expansion Pack on August 5 that adds new missions, new units, and the trailer showed off A LOT of new combo attacks added that I'll detail in this thread.

Finished up the Splatoon Raiders campaign. As someone who isn't that into Splatoon as a whole, this was very enjoyable. Liked the flexibility of building up your character with the combo of weapon + gadgets + gadget tinkering. This wasn't on my radar initially, but launch day reviews convinced me.

Yumemita really makes me hope that Ikka Dumb Rock & Millsage will get their own BanG Dream shows. I was 90% sure I wasn't going to like Mugendai Mewtype with everything I saw & heard of them pre-Yumemita premiere and they've completely surprised & won me over in the best way possible.

New Sakura Wars artwork by Hidenori Matsubara (character designer of the 2000 Sakura Wars TV series & subsequent film + OVAs) & Masashi Kudo (character designer of the 2020 Shin Sakura Taisen TV series) celebrating the series' 30th anniversary.

Can't wait for the next Xenoblade Genesis trailer to be like "here are the good childhood friends Rubedo & Albedo at this academy they are completely normal nice children =) =) =) ok moving on god is the enemy"

Somehow somewhere there's gonna be a secret movie for a Xenosaga remaster/remake project added into Xenoblade 2 Switch 2, but no one will discover it for several months because it'll arbitrarily have the most insane requirements to unlock it.
