Helix Waltz Review Casual Fashion Dressup Mobile Game Like Nikki Dressup Queen

GeekySweetie
December 30, 20182

Title: Helix Waltz Publisher: Ubeejoy Release Date: Genre: Dressup Otome Game Platform: IOS and Android Price: Free with optional in-game purchases Where to Get: https://waltz.ubeejoy.com/ Overview: 10/10 Helix Waltz is very similar to Love Nikki Dressup Queen or Romance Diary with a few differences. It has a slightly more detailed / less "cutesy" artstyle, and more focus on story. In fact, before getting the meat of the game, you must go through a very lengthy tutorial, that for a mobile/casual gamer will probably take more than a few days to complete. In this tutorial you learn a lot about the story and setting of Helix Waltz. This is where we see the majority of the differences that set Helix Waltz apart from other similar Dressup Games. Story: 10/10 Helix Wa

Where to Watch Kdrama Now That Dramafever.com is Closed

GeekySweetie
October 20, 20185

If you're like me, maybe you were suddenly shocked when you went to watch this week's episodes of your favorite Kdramas only to be met with the disastrous news that Dramafever is now and forever shut down for good. Dramafever owned the majority of "Exclusive" titles that could only be viewed by having a premium membership on their site. Furthermore, Dramafever handled their shuttering of their service so poorly it makes my skin crawl. I had 4 episodes left to watch in one such "exclusive" series... But Dramafever.com did not even have the decency to email or alert their PAYING premium subscribers about their plans to end their service. Had they sent out an email a week or even 48 hours in advance, fans would be far less pissed than they are right now. Because that way, we could have at ...

Every Studio Ghibli Film Ranked From Best to Worst – Top 10 Studio Ghibli Films – The Best Studio Ghibli Films – The Worst Studio Ghibli Films

GeekySweetie
March 15, 20182

Much like our recent list of the best and worst Disney films, here is a list of the best and worst Studio Ghibli films. Disney owned distribution rights for awhile for several Studio Ghibli films, but I think that has since changed hands to Gkids. Many people who love Disney films also love Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli Films; after all, they have a lot in common with each other. Both studios rely mostly on making films from well known children's literature and fairytales. Both studios have a very recognizable animation style. And both studios excel at creating stories that the whole family can enjoy together, cartoons that appeal to young and old alike. I was surprised there's not as many Studio Ghibli films as I would think. If you're wondering why Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is n

Windaria Anime Movie Review

GeekySweetie
February 1, 20180

Title: Windaria Alternative Title: Once Upon a Time Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Action, Adventure Release Date: 1986 (Japan initial release), 1992 (US, (VHS) first US release), 2004 (US re-release (DVD) with title change) Where to Watch: I don't support piracy here, but as a heads up, ALL of the "US Releases" of this film are very severely edited. And YES, that includes even the subtitled versions! I highly recommend that you watch the original Japanese version at least once before passing judgement on this beautiful movie. Of course, I grew up with the VHS in the 90s, and I STILL loved even the heavily edited dubbed version of the film way back then. Last year, I finally got the chance to watch the original Japanese version. A lot of content was cut from the English version, incl

This Is US – Season 1 and 2 Review

GeekySweetie
January 9, 20180

It's not often that I choose to write about (or really even choose to watch) American television. That's because in my opinion, the writing in American drama is often inferior and the characters not as emotionally engaging as Asian dramas. Season 2 had already started when I finally got around to watching Season 1 of This Is Us, the show that would change my opinion of American Dramas. - Don't get me wrong. I love me some drama regardless of what country it originates from.. but I distinctively recall for example, when "Fault of Our Stars" came out, how much praise it was being given, as being the saddest movie of all time, ever, by radio and TV critics and movie-goers across our nation. I watched the film and was left feeling, mostly, nothing at all. That's IT?! I thought to myself as I c

My Neighbor Totoro Ghiblifest 2017 Anime Movie Review

GeekySweetie
June 27, 20172

I went to see My Neighbor Totoro subbed last night as part of the 2017 GKids Studio Ghiblifest. The theater I went to seemed to have a fairly good turnout for the show, but not as popular as the theatrical SailorMoon Release which I reviewed here (dub) and here (sub) Still it is nice to see anime getting more coverage in theaters. I drove almost an hour to go see Totoro, but it was still closer than the nearly 2 hour drive I made (twice) to go see Sailor Moon. It's also awesome to see old anime like Totoro from the 80s and SailorMoon from the 90s finally on the big screen! The excitement of seeing such childhood favorite films on the silverscreen inspired me to want to do a review for Totoro today. Also be sure to check out the Studio Ghiblifest home page, there will be other Stud

Title: Koe no Katachi Other Titles: A Silent Voice, The Shape of a Voice Genre: Shoujo, Romance, Slice of Life, Drama Studio: Kyoto Animation Based on: A Silent Voice manga by Yoshitoki Ōima Length: 2 hours 9 minutes Release Dates: Theatrical Japanese release: September 2016 Theatrical world-wide release: June 2017 DVD Blu Ray Japanese Release: May 17, 2017. (no date announced at time of this blog post for an English DVD / Blu Ray Release). Geeky: 4/5 Gorgeously animated and very true to the original story within the manga. It does lack action and move at a sometimes slow pace and deals with heavy and unpleasant themes at times. Sweetie: 5/5 The transformation of the characters and values of friendship, love, redemption, and need for connection, are al

The Red Turtle Anime Review

GeekySweetie
May 17, 20170

I just purchased and watched "The Red Turtle" last night. The silent animated feature length film was done, in part, by Studio Ghibli, famous animators of feature length family favorite anime films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Ponyo, and The Cat's Return, just to name a few. I have to admit, I didn't really do my research on this title (and didn't realize it was a silent film until I began watching it), but every time I saw a preview, I just wanted to see it oh so badly. When I realized I could buy it for only $10 more than the "rental" price ($15 vs $5) I immediately purchased it. For about the first 20 - 40 minutes of the film, I felt disappointed and disinterested; that quickly changed as the plot began to advance, and b...

Big Fish and Begonia Anime Review

GeekySweetie
February 16, 20171

Overview: Big Fish & Begonia (also known as Da Yu Hai Tang) is not technically an anime since it is from China instead of Japan; however, it is a beautifully animated fantasy adventure with a lot of heart. The quality of the animation is on par with Disney or Studio Ghibli. The story has a few plot holes and pacing issues, but overall, the emotional impact of the story telling makes this film a must watch. The story may feel familiar if you've watched Disney's the Little Mermaid, or another Chinese animation from the 90s, Chinese Ghost Story. Despite the similar concepts, Big Fish & Begonia still manages to add its own unique twists and takes on concepts of forbidden love and reincarnation.

Beyond Two Souls Similarities to Stranger Things

GeekySweetie
February 1, 20171

I just did a guest post over on thenerdmentality.com regarding my thoughts on the PS3 game "Beyond Two Souls". Did you know this game has many things in common with the TV Series "Stranger Things"? For example, both Beyond Two Souls and Stranger things focus on a young girl with strange powers. In both cases, they are raised by a government figure who at first treats the girl as if he was their father, in order to gain the girl's trust and help her learn to use her powers. In both cases, the government uses the girl to open a portal to the other side which has unintended consequences of letting spirits cross over into this world. Also in both cases, the girl runs away, only to be hunted relentlessly by the government throughout both stories. As for the actual gameplay, story, grap

Are the Relationships in Scum’s Wish Really So Bad?

GeekySweetie
February 1, 20171

I recently discovered Scum's Wish from an article describing the relationship between Mugi and Hanabi as abusive. While the anime begins with Mugi and Hanabi both in love with other people and only using each other to satisfy their physical desires, is there really anything inherently wrong with this? People have casual relationships all the time. Not all relationships are built around love. Not only that, but, I think that love is a feeling that can grow over time. Hanabi and Mugi may not be in love just yet; but that doesn't mean they won't fall in love by the end of the anime or manga. There has been much foreshadowing already hinting at this possibility. Could Hanabi and Mugi ever fall in love or have a happy ending? Here are some clues that hint that they may be falling for e

Final Fantasy XV Review

GeekySweetie
December 19, 20164

It's been awhile since we've done a review around here with the holidays and all. It's time to fix that. Having just finished FFXV over the weekend, that seems the best candidate for a review this week. I've been a fan of Final Fantasy for a long time, ever since "Mystic Quest" on the SNES. Final Fantasy 6 (3 in America) is still my favorite in the series. I've played every Final Fantasy Game since the 16 bit era. And I'm "strange" I know, but I don't really like FF7, not as much as everyone else seems to be in love with that game. But Final Fantasy in general always holds a special place in my heart. If I had to rank my favorite FF games that I've played from best to worst, it would look something like this when using the corresponding Japanese numbers for each title... With the newest ga...

Countdown to Black Friday with New Deals Every Day on Amazon

Amazon just launched their Black Friday Pre-sale event. You can check back every day for new items at http://amazon.com/Black-Friday/... Already they are offering up some pretty sweet deals for geeks and gamers. I recommend bookmarking and checking back as often as possible. I'm hoping for a PS4 Bundle or Console to go on sale. I have enough already to purchase, but since it is that time of year, saving some money never hurts, and I've waited this long already to get myself the newest consoles, so might as well hang in there a few more weeks and see what happens! Last year, amazon had amazing black friday and cyber monday exclusive gaming bundles for all three major game systems including Xbone, PS4, and WiiU. This year the savings should be even greater since the technology continue
