As an introduction to the series, Yakuza 0 truly goes all out and I’m absolutely here for it. Not sure why I skipped over this series for so long, but now I have an epic backlog to make my way through. Also, it’s a perfect game for the Steam Deck. Highly recommend!

Screens 5 is leaving Setapp for the Mac App Store. I think this is a first in the few years that I’ve been using Setapp. I use Screens a lot so I have a vested interest in them succeeding, but I got tremendous value from them in my Setapp subscription.
Genjitsu no Yohane: SUNSHINE in the MIRROR
Fans of Love Live! Sunshine!! will be ecstatic but anyone new to the series will be a left in the dark. Animation and music exceed expectations.
6/10
Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou (I’m in Love with the Villainess)
One of my favorite yuri romances of all time. Absolutely love the light novel and this was a solid adaption (bit of a bias creeping in). Unrealistically hoping for a second season to adapt the full Revolution arc.
9/10
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia (Insomniacs After School)
Lovely, earnest, sweet romance. Will definitely read the source material.
8/10
Hoshikuzu Telepath (Stardust Telepath)
Wonderful girls club show with more drama and character angst than you might expect. Throughly enjoyed!
8/10
Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon (My Happy Marriage)
Well animated romantic drama with some darker fantasy edges. A nice Brothers Grimm Cinderella adaptation.
7/10
