Perversion Subversion - Examining Hentai Sensibility - Extra Credits

by Extra Credits

Some recent Japanese games have tried to examine the hentai sensibility, with varying degrees of success. Where Yakuza 0 succeeds in finding a new perspective through bawdy humor, Persona 5 tries a more serious look that falls flat when the game thoughtlessly engages in sexual objectification.

The Robust Assassin Mythology of John Wick Could Get Its Own TV Show

by Germain Lussier

Pulse-pounding action is the selling point for the John Wick movies, but that’s not the main thing that makes them so good. That distinction goes to the high-tech, deeply rooted mythological setting where assassins live lives of unfathomable luxury and respect. It’s a world the filmmakers behind the series would like…

The Germans expected the Allies to invade France to re-open the Western Front, but they did not know when or where the invasion would start - thanks largely to the operations of MI5, British intelligence services, who staged an elaborate deception called Operation Bodyguard designed to make the Germans think they would be invading Pas de Calais instead of their real target: Normandy.

"Fate/Grand Order" Smartphone RPG Dated For English Release

by news+feed@crunchyroll.com

The English version of hit smartphone RPG Fate/Grand Order had been announced for "summer 2017." Well, summer now has a specific date. The release is now scheduled for June 25th on iOS and Android.

 

See more at http://fate-go.us/

 

 

Aniplex of America also announced today at their industry panel at A-Kon that they will be producing the English dub of Fate/Grand Order - First Order - and premiering it exclusively at Anime Expo in Los Angeles this summer. The star studded English cast features Griffin Burns (Anohana –The Flower We Saw That Day TV, Charlotte) as Ritsuka Fujimaru, Erica Mendez (Your lie in April, Magi franchise) as Mash Kyrielight, and Kira Buckland (Blue Exorcist series, The Asterisk War series) as Olga Marie Animusphere. Tony Oliver (Fate series, Magi franchise, Charlotte), who is the voice director for this feature, is also a cast member as Cú Chulainn.



About Fate/Grand Order - First Order -:
The year is AD 2017
The last era in which magecraft still thrived.

The Chaldea Security Organization was founded to focus on preserving the continuation of human history. They observe a world which magecraft couldn’t observe and science couldn’t measure all to prevent the certain extinction of humanity. But one day, the future that Chaldea continued to observe disappears and humanity’s extinction in 2019 becomes clear. Rather, it had already happened.
The cause seems to be related to Fuyuki, a provincial town in Japan, in the year

AD 2004. There, an “unobservable region” that had not existed before appears.
Based on the assumption that Fuyuki is the reason for humanity’s extinction, Chaldea issues an order to explore, investigate, and possibly destroy this singularity – a quest for the Holy Grail: the Grand Order.

D-Day: June 6, 1944, the day when Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to retake France from the Germans. They hoped to take the Germans by surprise, and their decision to brave rough weather to make their landings certainly accomplished that, but despite these small advantages, the American forces at Utah and Omaha Beach had to overcome monumental challenges to establish a successful beachhead.
