I recently noticed that Oda Sakura's autograph looks like a plumbus from Rick and Morty.

I've been doing the Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta , though I'll have to pick up the pace a bit if I want to finish by the end of the month. My assigned jobs are Blue Mage, Red Mage, Beastmaster, and Chemist. I also finally decided to try out an X game, specifically X3 Terran Conflict. I'm like 10 ...

I thought Prometheus was interesting but flawed. Unfortunately I found Alien Covenant to be a very unsatisfying followup. All mess. The way it continues the events of Prometheus is almost as unsatisfying as the Aliens -> Alien 3 transition, and the new directions it decides to go seem to really narr...

I'm curious if the voting for the third disc is a total farce or just mostly . Seems hard to believe that on May 8 they could end up with a disc worth of results they weren't prepared for, and have it ready before June 21. Well, I guess they could as long as they're just reusing the original instrum...

I decided to get the Switch version of LEGO City Undercover. I'd already played it on Wii U and enjoyed it there so at first thought if I ever got it I'd wait until it was significantly cheaper--but I realized that its status as one of the only Switch games other than Breath of the Wild with a large...

The ANGERME Twitter account posted an image including Maho. Is this actually the first we've seen of her in a long time, or did they choose some random ancient image to write something about their upcoming Budokan concert on?

Ha, true enough. Yuka at the beginning of Juice=Juice was almost as old as Mitsui at the end of her time in Morning Musume.

Sometimes I forget how young she is, since she's been out of Morning Musume since somewhat before I was even a fan. Once all the Kids have graduated she'll be the oldest, by about 1 1/2 years over Wada.

The new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 drops on Netflix on the 14th. As a Kickstarter backer I've got streaming access through an alternate method a few days early. I've watched the first two episodes and am pretty pleased with it so far. It'll take time to get used to some of the difference...

She did not. I think in the last few years (when not outside of Japan) she performed at one of the Countdowns and did various reports for UP-FRONT LINK and that's about it.

EDIT: Manaka isn't still listed alongside H!P acts, though.

I don't remember how I ran across it and some of you have probably seen it, but this multilingual music video with Thane amuses me.

I ~finished up Zelda a few days ago. Still plenty of stuff I could do, but I was at the point where most of what was in view seemed like more hassle than fun. Gather rare insects for armor upgrades I don't need. Sit around long periods of time in-game to try to gather the right parts from dragons. T...

I've never been a particular fan of Massara Blue Jeans. Really my favorite thing about it is that at an H!P bar it inspired the menu item Massara Green Beans.

My favorites are probably the Vanessa Williams version of I Wish and Maysa Leak's Dangerous Summer Night!. Quite different arrangements, but not in a weird way like some of them. <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="JPope" data-cid="206792" data-time="149...

Having played the Zeldas from Link to the Past through Twilight Princess, I was getting pretty burnt out on the standard Zelda formula. Breath of the Wild is pretty different and I'm loving it. It doesn't have the same setup of ~8 dungeons with a special item found in each, but is instead a very non...

One of my favorite NES games was River City Ransom. I was a backer on a western-developed Kickstarter sequel... over 3 years ago. Well, it finally did come out , and I'm pretty happy with it so far from the first few hours. If you haven't played RCR, it was a beat-'em-up with a ~chibi style and RPG ...

That's a very different Meimi!

Lately I've been getting quite a few figurines--especially thanks to a fellow H!P Wiki editor who has pointed out some that were listed as "unknown" so I never would've found them in a search. But for now I just want to focus on this one item which now must be one of the coolest things in ...
