If you happen to be following the Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo) manga, which is simulpublished in English through Crunchyroll, then you will be happy to hear that an anime adaptation for the series has just been announced. The anime will debut in Spring 2015 and will be animated by LIDEN FILMS.
It is currently unknown exactly how many cours the anime will be receiving, though given the nature of the series as well as the length of the storyline that I am hoping that the anime will conclude on, here is hoping that it is a two-cour series.
For those unfamiliar with Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, the manga tells the story of Yamada, a bit of a trouble maker at his high school, who accidentally kisses the honor student Shiraishi after they fall down the stairs together. When they both recover from the fall, they realize that they have swapped bodies and the only way to switch back is to kiss one another again. Little do the two realize that this strange switching power is only the beginning of the strange things that happen at the school.
Family Guy returns for its fourteenth season. Containing a total of 21 episodes, the Griffins are back ruder, cruder and funnier than ever. After a few seasons in decline, does Season 14 return Family Guy to its once lofty standards? Read on to find out.
Story
Family Guy Season 14 continues the adventures of the Griffins in the town of Quahog. After being cancelled and brought back, the show’s over-reliance on cutaway gags, especially real-life situations and one-note side characters contributed to an overall decline. It is a pleasant surprise that this issue is not present in Season 14 and while the season is not immune to cringe-worthy moments, it is a definite improvement on the past few seasons.
The opening episodes get the season off to a solid start. Episodes such as “Quagmire’s Quagmire”, “Boopa-Dee Bappa-Dee” and “Harmony’s Way” are good examples of when Family Guy used to push the boundaries whilst maintaining a solid level of humour. “Quagmire’s Quagmire” gave us a really good look into the character of Quagmire as he interacts with a woman who turns out to be even crazier than he is. This episode could have easily stepped over the line of bad taste but turned out to be a solid episode that played to the darker humour that is one of Family Guy’s strengths.
This trend continues with episodes such as “3 Acts of God”, “Secondhand Spoke” and “The Most Interesting Man in the World”. In “3 Acts of God”, Peter and his friend attempt to find God to ask him to stop interfering with the New England Patriots. Following on from the quality of the episode “Patriot Games”, any episode that features the New England Patriots is typically well received. The challenge from God telling the guys to make Patriots Coach Bill Belichick smile was quite humorous based on prior knowledge of Belichick’s personality, however those who aren’t familiar with the NFL coach will still appreciate the humour in the episode.
Unfortunately, for every quality episode, there was one that just fell completely flat. “A Fistful of Meg”, “Peter Problems”, “Fresh Heir” and “Baby Got Black” overstepped the mark in one way or another and at times were borderline unwatchable. “Peter Problems” commits one of the major sins of Family Guy and that is the overly long drawn out joke. Peter uses a forklift to save a beached whale but only succeeds in vulgarly tearing it to shreds. It isn’t very funny for the first 30 seconds and definitely not funny for the next 30 seconds that follow. It raises the question of whether or not some writers actually care about their episodes or it is simply a matter of filling up time. Fortunately, these issues are fairly rare throughout.
To further iterate about some of the worst episodes on offer here, it does beg the question as to how some of these episodes are put together and at no point in the development process does someone stand up and say how terrible the idea sounds. Two big ones that baffle me as to how they made it past the writers rooms include the father-son incest and Meg getting constantly beaten up. I would much prefer shorter seasons with more quality episodes as opposed to having a regular length season that is padded with horrible ideas just to inflate episode count.
Although the quality episodes outweighed the bad overall, two stood above the rest. These episodes were “Life of Brian” and “Christmas Guy”. “Life of Brian” was the much publicized episode where Brian Griffin is killed off. This was not only the major highlight episode of the season but also showed that Family Guy could convey a serious tone in what is arguably one of the best episodes since “Road to the Multiverse” more than five years ago. “Christmas Guy” sees Stewie figuring out a way to save Brian and restore order to the Griffin Family in another funny but touching episode. Season 14 also sees the return of Cleveland Brown to Quahog after the cancellation of fellow Fox show The Cleveland Show and it’s good to have him back in the gang.
Visual and Audio
Since the introduction of High Definition Family Guy has never looked better. Presented in Wide Screen the viewer gets a full picture and this season is a vast improvement over the show’s original run. The classic Family Guy art style is present here, with simple art, bold lines and bright colours with some CGI thrown in randomly normally for comedic effect.
Each episode gives the option of Dolby Digital 5.1 in either English or Spanish, with the audio quality remaining high throughout. The voice acting continues its high standard, with each character being instantly recognizable and portraying their personality through their own unique sound. Celebrity voices used throughout the season include Bryan Cranston, Adam Levine, the late Lauren Bacall, with special mention going to Tony Sirico for his three-episode cameo as Brian’s replacement Vinny. All do a fantastic job here especially Tony Sirico as the shady, Italian Vinny which helped eased the pain of Brian dying just a little.
Extras
The extras present on the DVD really add to the package here. Special features available include deleted scenes and commentary for each episode, a full episode storyboard animatic on “Christmas Guy”. Brian Griffin: In Memoriam… sort of and a Consuela Mash- up which fans of the Spanish house cleaner will definitely appreciate. These special features are a great addition to an already quality package. Each episode also has subtitles including English, Spanish and Danish among others.
Overall
After seeing Family Guy go through both highs and the lows, it is hard to believe the show has been able to last this long. The series may no longer be reaching the hilarious heights of its earlier seasons, but Season 14 is definitely an improvement over the past few. The most pleasing aspect of this entire season is that the majority of long winded jokes seem to have gone and been replaced with some well thought out material which leads to a fairly successful season overall despite some poorly made episodes spliced in between. Stand out episodes such as “Life of Brian” and “Christmas Guy” deserve praise as does Seth MacFarlane for taking such a risk that paid off big time and episodes like these give hope that the show can return to the level of funny that once made it famous. Great visuals, voice acting and a good amount of extras make Family Guy Season 14 a good buy.

It seems like it has been forever since a third season for Dog Days was announced but the time when it will air is slowly approaching. This third season from Masaki Tsuzuki, called Dog Days”, will debut in January and not only have some new details about the anime been revealed but a commercial for the third season has also been released.
The most recent issue of Nyantype magazine has revealed that a new character named Sharu, shown above, who wields a bow and will be voiced by Sumire Uesaka will be introduced in this third season alongside all of the returning cast members, though exactly what role she will play in the story is currently unknown. As for the commercial, it happens to be a character introduction and it happens to focus on introducing Rebeca and Kubera, both of whom were added to the main cast in the second season.
From what we do know, the story will take place two to three months after the second season and for those who aren’t familiar with the series, likely due to the fact that no one has picked up the series for localization in the West (something of a problem with Masaki Tsuzuki’s works) the story takes place in an alternate world where a princess named Millhiore summons a hero in order to help her kingdom, the Biscotti Republic, compete against other nations in wargames resulting in what is generally an extremely light-hearted series.
Additional artwork and information can be found on the official websitefor Dog Days”.
As we know, Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign is going to be released for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in North America on December 16th and today Aksys Games has revealed that they will be releasing Elphelt as a free downloadable character for the game between December 16th and January 5th.
It is worth noting that after this time period passes, Elphelt will cost $7.99 to download so even if you might be on the fence about picking up the game, adding her to your download list may be in your best interests. Currently PlayStation Plus subscribers can play a demo of Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign for the PlayStation 4.
Last week we learned that Atlus was going to be teaming up with Spike Chunsoft to create Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon and a preview from Famitsu has recently gone live revealing some details about the game. As was revealed in the trailer, the title will be a combination of the character customization and setting found in the Etrian Odyssey series while using the rougelike gameplay found in the Mystery Dungeon games.
Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon will allow players to create their own custom parties and customize them at will before exploring an area which will be randomly generated. In combat only the leader will be controlled by the player while other party members will attack and support as needed in the game’s turn based combat system.
The Simpsons return with Season 17 on DVD containing 22 new episodes and a number of special features including episode commentary and deleted scenes. Despite being considered one of the greatest shows of the modern era, even the most long-time fans would agree that the previous six seasons have seen the show’s quality drop dramatically. Is Season 17 a return to form for the once great show? Read on to find out.
Story
The Simpsons uses self-contained episodes to tell a variety of stories concentrating on the family that everybody loves, with assistance from a variety of other characters around Springfield. Despite many years of quality story lines, it seems the town of Springfield has run out of exciting moments. The season begins slowly, and this sets the trend for what’s to follow. Nothing early on screamed instant classic, and it seemed that a lot of these episodes were just going through the motions to reach the end. The Treehouse of Horror special was especially disappointing, with all three segments falling flat and also failing to scare in the slightest.
Unfortunately, episodes only get worse as the season continues. For every episode that was tolerable, such as “Marge’s Son Poisoning”, “The last of The Red Hat Mamas” and “We’re on the Road to D’Ohwhere”, there are episodes that were a complete disappointment, such as “The Bonfire of the Manatees”, “Million-Dollar Abie” and “Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore”. “Homer’s Paternity Coot” was another big disappointment and wins the award for the most pointless episode of the season. If Mason Fairbanks was truly Homer’s father, more than 15 years of Simpson’s history goes out the window. If he wasn’t, 20 minutes has just been wasted going around in circles.
The celebrity guests were somewhat of a highlight, but were only able to do their best with the material available. Richard Dean Anderson leads the best subplot of the season as himself in Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore and Kelsey Grammar once again returns to voice Bart’s arch nemesis Sideshow Bob in the “Italian Bob”. For an episode with a lot of hype and history this was one of the biggest let downs of the season and is by far the worst Sideshow Bob episodes so far, not even coming close to classics such as “Cape Feare” and “Black Widower”. Other celebrities that lend their voice talents to this season include Alec Baldwin, William H. Macy and Susan Sarandon, with Ricky Gervais providing his voice and writing talents for the episode “Homer Simpson, This is Your Wife”.
The best overall viewing experience would go to “The Seemingly Neverending Story”. Although still not reaching the heights of past seasons, the intertwining stories are told well and it’s always good to see some sort of extended back story for side characters. In this episode, Moe, Edna, Snake and Mr Burns take center stage and it has been these kinds of stories where the series has been at its strongest in its later years.
Special mention needs to go to the opening act of “See Homer Run” as a season highlight. After receiving a book drawn by Lisa for Father’s Day that can’t possibly live up to the Swiss Army Knife he just received from Bart, Homer is clearly unimpressed and to appease Lisa places her present on the fridge. However, the book slides down and is subsequently destroyed by the fridge’s water dispenser. The joke ends on the back of a hilarious criticism of the magnet from Homer, who had no idea Lisa had originally gotten it for him for his birthday. These kind of jokes showcase the great heights The Simpsons can reach when characters play off their key personality traits (Homer’s self-indulgence and ignorance in this case) and when a joke is given some sort of setup.
As a whole, people hoping for a renaissance of sorts will be very disappointed. Season 17 does nothing to disprove the theory that The Simpsons should have ended after Season 12. It could well be considered the worst season so far and the point where the show had arguably hit rock bottom. Throughout the entire season, only a few episodes manage to be anything more than mediocre with the vast majority falling into the category of boring or just plain bad.
Visual and Audio
The DVD is presented in Full Screen 4:3 format. Whilst the series was yet to employ the use of HD, these episodes are clearly much better looking than the original seasons. Despite the appearance of black bars on the side of the picture, the overall visuals are quite good. They are clean, bright and stick to that classic Simpsons style people are more than familiar with. It is slightly jarring that even though the episode itself and the couch gag are presented with updated visuals, the remainder of the opening remains the same from the very early seasons.
Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and while it doesn’t get a lot of opportunity to shine it does a fine job. The voice acting is top notch as usual from the main cast to the guest stars all putting in quality performances. It’s just a shame that the scripts are not there to back them up.
Extras
The DVD extras on offer here are arguably the highlight of the entire package. Every episodes has its own commentary, giving viewers some great insight into their development. There are also a number of sketch galleries and an animation showcase. Finally, each disc contains deleted scenes from several episodes. These features bring up the overall quality of the DVD collection.
Overall
As a long time fan of the early Simpsons that involved great episodes with hilarious, tightly developed plots, it is hard to stomach what the show has become. Despite a few funny moments, there was barely a single episode that could be considered solid the entire way through and at times the viewing experience was a real struggle. This is essentially not the same show that was such a hit in the early to mid 90’s. While there are no complaints here on the visuals (opening aside) and audio and the extras are a saving grace that help bump up the value of the overall package, the disappointing core content of this DVD set makes it hard to recommend to even long time fans.

The developers responsible for Blackguards, Daedalic Entertainment, has announced that it will develop a game based on the popular novel The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. For those who have been living under a rock, The Pillars of the Earth is a classic historical novel featuring political intrigue and conspiracies and the disputes between the classes.
This isn’t the usual inspiration for game developers, but both the author and CEO of Daedalic Carsten Fichtelmann are both excited about the team up as it will bring the book to a new generation of readers.
“We are very aware of and feeling the responsibility that comes along with this project: The Pillars of the Earth is one of world literature’s most-read and best-selling books, and comes with a large and long-lasting base of millions of fans. To meet their high expectations of our game will be a tremendous challenge – but one we are very eager to face.” – Carsten Fichtelmann, CEO of Daedalic Entertainment.
It will be a while till we see it on the shelves, but when it do, it will most likely be an adventure game on the PC, iOS, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Far Cry 3 was lauded as a brilliant reboot of the Far Cry franchise and now Ubisoft is looking to build on the solid foundation with Far Cry 4. The new game takes players to the fictional country of Kyrat, a country inspired by Nepal and its bloody civil war that dragged on for a decade and finally ended in 2006. Ajay Ghale returns home to Kyrat in hopes of fulfilling his mother’s desire to have her ashes spread back in Kyrat; however, young Ajay is quickly caught up in the conflict between The Golden Path rebels and the despotic King Pagan Min.
Story
Ajay Ghale left Kyrat as a young child when his mother fled to the United States. He has grown up to be as American as apple pie. After his mother’s death, Ajay is back in Kyrat in hopes of fulfilling his mother’s last wish. Kyrat is just as unstable as when Ajay last left it. A bloody rebellion is raging in South Kyrat, bristling under King Pagan Min’s leadership style that would make the North Korean government proud. All isn’t well in The Golden Path rebellion, either. Amita and Sabal are the two leaders of the rebellion and their differences in opinion is pushing their organization to a crossroad.
Far Cry 4 is not a story about good guys versus bad guys. It is more about really bad guys versus not so bad guys. It’s hard not to feel used through the entire game. Characters gleefully use Ajay’s identities, emotions, family, and heritage for their own means. My biggest beef with Far Cry 4’s story is the fact it has so much untapped potential. Amita and Sabal feel to shallow for such important figures. The lack of depth as characters makes the decision on who to throw your support behind feel flimsy and superficial. Kyrati culture plays a huge role in their disagreement, but important aspects of it is not fleshed out properly, which further contribute to Amita and Sabal’s lack of depth.
The cast of characters in Far Cry 4 is memorable. Best of all, old favourites from Far Cry 3 like Hurk and Willis make an appearance. Pagan Min strikes the right balance of insane, deluded, and absolutely charming. The mercurial dictator always feels like he could be just one step from completely becoming unhinged. Pagan Min’s three deputies are unique and almost feel like they have more depth than Amita and Sabal, based on the three’s short appearances in game.
It is worth mentioning that there are actually three endings to the game. One of them is a very cheeky addition that allows players to “beat” the game without actually leaving the prologue, while the other two endings are found at the end. I thought it was a really nice touch by the developers.
Gameplay
Far Cry 4 is an open world FPS. Although most of the game is played in the open world Kyrat map, there are portions that take players in smaller more linear levels. Many of them take place in the Himalayas, with some even requiring players to manage an oxygen tank, which help hammer in the new Kyrati locale. I feel these levels are a refreshing change of pace and help keep things fresh.
From the get go, players are given a half a map full of activities, side quests, and random things to do. Players could easily get sucked into just hunting things and doing random events that crop up for hours without touching any of the story missions. Of course, the player is eventually prodded forward by locking out certain weapons and skills until later into the game. The campaign and side quests manage to keep a pretty varied set of objectives, which keep things interesting.
The world around Ajay is teeming with life. Civilians go on with their everyday tasks, while Pagan Min’s Royal Army and The Golden Path patrol the streets and eventually clash. Random karma tasks will pop up, asking players to protect civilians or assist The Golden Path in a firefight. All the while, Kyrat’s wildlife continue on their merry business. Predators attack their prey, and most animals are ornery things that will attack Ajay for invading their personal space.
As part of emphasizing the mountainous region of Nepal, Kyrat is full of climbing points Ajay can toss a grappling hook on and climb up. It definitely makes navigating the map much easier by allowing players to climb up the high cliff faces littered across Kyrat. It also allows for some neat jumping puzzles outside of the bell towers.
Although I was a little disappointed to see that most of Far Cry 3’s arsenal has simply been remade for higher resolutions, Far Cry 4’s gunplay is solid. Some of the weapon imbalances seemed to have been worked out and the weapons pack a good punch. The cover system is still one of the most intuitive systems in an FPS. The game manages to strike a great balance between classic HP based health systems and the more modern regenerating health, which make gun fights a little more challenging than the average shooter.
On the other hand, I found the stealth system to still be a bit iffy. Players can tag enemies to keep track of their movements, allowing players a better opportunity to sneak up and execute a melee takedown. A good chunk of the game’s skill trees is dedicated to variety of takedowns. However, I found the cover takedown ability did not work very well and the stealth levels tend to be more irritating than rewarding. Probably the biggest irritation of them all is that conquering an outpost through stealth takes about half an hour of carefully picking through the outpost and is fraught with tons of risks, while standing over 100m away and emptying the entire outpost with a silenced sniper rifle in five minutes or less with barely any risk yielded almost the same outpost experience bonus.
My biggest complaint with Far Cry 3’s co-op mode was the linear nature of the levels. Instead of mirroring the single player’s open world, the co-op mode played like a traditional FPS. Far Cry 4 co-op seeks to remedy the situation by dropping the co-op down to two players, but allow players almost full reign of the single-player game. Unfortunately, activities are the only things that can be done in co-op mode. I would have preferred to be able to drag Hurk along through campaign and side missions. There were some minor glitches in co-op where certain random vehicle-based events would appear for one player, but not the other. However, I have to say I had an incredible amount of fun causing trouble with a friend. For all its flaws, Far Cry 4 may possibly be the most fun co-op title released in 2014.
Far Cry 4’s competitive multiplayer is surprisingly refreshing. Instead of trying to clone the traditional competitive shooter, Far Cry 4 opts for an asymmetrical multiplayer mode that attempts to marry competitive FPS games with Far Cry 4’s open world. Players will split off in teams of five and take turns at playing Pagan Min’s Rakshasa and The Golden Path. The Rakshasa use stealth, special drug syringes, one hit kill bows, and the ability to summon animals into the fight; while The Golden Path rely on more traditional hardware.
Unfortunately, the map maker does not work with multiplayer. Instead, players are free to create single player challenge maps. Players can opt for Assault mode, which pits players against waves of enemies; Hunt mode, where players will attempt to hunt and kill every animal on the map; Outpost, which is the same as the regular outposts found in game; and Extraction, where players will run through a gauntlet of enemies in hopes of making it to their extraction point. It is a crying shame that co-op is not supported out the gate for player created maps, as it is a perfect opportunity to grab a few friends to tackle some serious challenges.
Far Cry 4 would have really benefited from being delayed by a month or two. The game doesn’t encounter any game breaking bugs, but there is a clear lack of polish. The wingsuit has a really obnoxious habit of randomly not deploying when jumping off medium sized cliffs that are tall enough to kill Ajay, then randomly deploying when jumping small boulders of a feet or two. Other minor things like the radio declaring that all radio towers have been liberated when they haven’t or glitches in the store menu resulting in weapon names showing up as “Undefined” seem to constantly crop up.
Visuals
Far Cry 4’s visual design is breath taking. Ubisoft Montreal has gone to great lengths to recreate the environment and feel of Nepal. Multi-coloured prayer flags stretch across towns and dot the country side, while the ever present tuk-tuk auto-rickshaws are left on the streets. The player is constantly reminded that Kyrat is supposed to be located near the tallest mountain range in the world through notes on each locale’s elevation when entering new areas. Mountains tower around the map and serve as a replacement for the water that boxed in the map in Far Cry 3. Ubisoft sent their developers to Nepal in hopes of capturing the beauty of the country, and they have done a fantastic job replicating what they saw.
It is striking how colourful the game is. The portions of the game that tell the Kyrati legend of Shangri-la take on a bright red, white, and gold hues, while the drug addled segments are splashed with the vibrant blues, purples, and oranges of Holi’s coloured powders. Far Cry 4 continues the work of its predecessor, sporting possibly the best depiction of a drug trip in video gaming. Instead of a motion sickness inducing camera wobble, Ubisoft opts for a multi-coloured trip set to music clearly inspired by The Beatles during their drug and guru inspired era.
On the hardware side, Far Cry 4 has some serious ups and downs. Being designed for next gen consoles, Far Cry 4 is extremely demanding of PCs on higher resolutions and quality levels. On lower video settings, the game is surprisingly playable on older rigs. Ubisoft Montreal has acknowledged PC gamers by providing a slew of video settings. The all-important field of view settings needs some work. While on foot and when driving vehicles, the larger FOV setting worked just fine. However, there are certain parts where it was very painfully obvious that they were not designed with the adjusted FOV in mind. Sitting in vehicles travelling at extremely high speeds sometimes would shoot up to an insanely high FOV which caused a bit of a weird fisheye effect. Adjustments to the FOV slider also made the mortar’s targeting camera very difficult to use.
Audio
Far Cry 4’s audio meets the high expectations of an AAA titles. The sound effects sound great and the soundtrack is stellar. The music features a mix of traditional video game music with what I assume is a traditional Nepalese twist with contemporary Nepalese pop. The more modern music is absolutely fabulous. It has a serious 60’s rock vibe that feels like the artists grew up listening to The Beatles. The major character’s voice acting is stellar, though the minor characters drop their accent in favour of American accents at times. Although I cannot speak for the portions of the game in Kyrati or possibly Nepalese, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the Cantonese spoken by Pagan Min’s Royal Guard is pretty good.
Overall
Far Cry 4 is an excellent game. It could have used a little more polish before being hurried out the door, but the bugs are mostly minor. The single player campaign is loads of fun, the multiplayer is surprisingly satisfying, and the co-op is possibly the best I have seen all year. Ubisoft Montreal does a great job of replicated the feel of Nepal in Kyrat. Although I wish they went deeper with the story, Far Cry 4 manages to provide an interesting plot and a great cast of characters. Far Cry 4 is definitely worth a buy.
