Valkyria Chronicles

Valkyria Chronicles is an impressively good game. Hailed as one of Sega's masterpieces from the last Gen , the game is truly deserving of the critical acclaim it received. The games is unique in almost every category, gameplay, story, art.
In terms of Story , Valkyria Chronicles doesn't blindly jump into the game, but it talks also about the cost of war, which is rare in any game. The story is majorly about welkin and his squad 7 militia who are made up of common folk, this is a story of a man who is a teacher, but rises up to become the hero who saved the nation from its time of crisis. Throughout the story we're treated through a whirlwind of emotions constantly reminding us that War isn't won be battle hardened super soldiers, but by normal citizens who have put their lives on the line to defend the ones they love.
In terms of the game's graphics, the beautifully cell shaded characters and narration of the story through the pages of a book gives it an extremely unique feel.
In terms of Gameplay, sadly Valkyria Chronicles isn't for the casual Gamer, it's a strategic RPG throughout and can get fairly challenging at times, though certainly not unfair, but that also meant I had to retry a few times on certain levels.

Overall, an excellent and memorable game by Sega.I really look forward to Valkyria Chronicles 4 next year. :)

Relife

So, it's finally over. Relife officially ended with it's 222nd chapter. Relife was a manga I read by accident tbh. Not in the sense that I randomly picked it up, but it in the sense that the manga turned into something completely different than what I had intended it to be. With the premise set up to guiltrip people who are in the late 20's, relife did an excellent job of this throughout. Though, there were many times the story's pacing and direction was all over the place. Not to mention the science behind the Relife experiment, which when explained was honestly borderline stupid. But, what Relife great was it's characters, and the recurring theme of regrets . This all came into place especially in the last arc of the Manga where the mangaka did a stellar job giving some excellent tear jerking moments and despairing the readers of the idea of a forbidden/unachievable romance. It was romance done right in a Manga, something that I haven't seen in a long time. ...

Saekano ( How to raise a boring girlfriend)

I tend to watch underrated Anime once in a while. There's always a hit and miss in doing so. Some turn out good, some turn out trash and some are like Saekano. Also, known as 'How to raise a boring girlfriend' , this show completely polarized my opinion of it till the end. For starters, there was forced ecchi fanservice was clearly unneeded for a show which was clearly trying to be a serious slice of life anime, but clearly what troubled me the most on the direction the show was heading. The first season for the most was mediocre, but not bad. The problem was in the second season where the show turned itself upside down, to the point I felt it lost its flavor and made me rage a bit about certain developments in the plot towards the end. One thing going good for it though was it's character development, which was really good. The show even though ended well, was pretty much really saved by the best girl of the show, who was there for MC at the end. The character developm...
