Bye Bye, Earth Season 1 Anime Series Review

On the surface, Bye Bye, Earth depicts a vibrant and colorful fantasy world – unfortunately, its story is plain baffling. ― When it comes to intentionally complicated storytelling, there's "good confusing" and "bad confusing."

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird ...

Hookah Haze Game Review

I get it – the point isn't a challenge; it's vibes.
