Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) take a look at some of the times Square went weird with Final Fantasy. We begin with one of the more controversial Final Fantasy games with Mystic Quest. We discuss how this game isn’t as bad as most people like to say it is, how it can work in some respects with being a beginner’s RPG, and how the soundtrack is one of the best in the series. Following that, Jared attempts to tell the story of Final Fantasy XIV in about fifty minutes or so, which for a game he’s played for 19 days, is a speedy retelling.

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) find themselves stranded in a hotel that’s become very spooky! Luckily, Luigi and Gooigi are here to make sure that any ghosts that are here get taken care of. We discuss the latest entry in the Luigi’s Mansion series as it makes its way to the Switch. Is this one of the best looking games on Switch? Does the charm carry its way through the entirety of the game? How good is Gooigi? These questions and more are answered!

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) decided to see what was up with that KFC dating sim, so we played it. It may have only taken us two hours, but it was two hours where we were pretty unimpressed with everything that the game had to offer. So, what went wrong? Is this truly as wacky as people thought it was going to be or a game that falls flat?

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) return to the world of Resident Evil CG movies as we watched the second film they made.

After that we dive headfirst into the film where Leon continues to have BDE and we come up with what really happened during “that night” between Leon and Ada.

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) take a trip back into the archives of Square to talk about a movie they’d probably want you to forget. We discuss Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and how the film is deserving of its criticism, the very mediocre score it has, and some behind the scenes aspects. There’s also a deep analysis into one of the later scenes in the film and how it relates to Sakaguchi and we theorize on alternate realities where this film was a success.

Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) get prepped for spooks as we talk about the sequel to Resident Evil: Revelations. We breakdown some literature, spooky children that point, Claire being the dumbest protagonist, and some less than stellar co-op.
