  13. The new #Kodansha site is awful. (The understatement of the year.) Unusable. Garbage. An abomination.

    Your library takes eons to load. No more waking up and reading a few chapters. You literally need to open the site, let it sit for 10? 20? minutes, then press refresh to see your books. Maybe if you have a small library, it is tolerable; mine is large.

    Screen space is taken up with a cookie’s dialog box that will not close.

    No notification of the change. Just BAM, it no longer functions.

    No testing
    ?Vibe coded?

    Whatever they saved on testers and programmers wasn't worth it. They broke something that worked and replaced it with trash.

    The people who greenlit the release of this abomination should be fired.

  17. Sailor Moon Another Story with Cass Proffitt (Distant Echoes)

    Some magical girl stories are content with sparkly transformations and heartfelt speeches. This is not one of those stories. This time on Play Comics we’re warping through the glitter-strewn chaos of Sailor Moon: Another Story, the Super Famicom RPG that took the 90s manga and anime vibes, mashed them with branching timelines and turn-based redemption arcs, and asked, “What if destiny needed a save state?” It’s console combat where emotional baggage weighs more than your inventory, and every villain monologue comes with a friendship discount.

    Chris isn’t battling cosmic paradoxes solo though. Cass Proffitt from Distant Echoes jumps into the senshi squad to help unpack how this game balances moon crystal lore with JRPG grind, and whether it’s a radiant tribute to Sailor Moon or just the sparkliest timeline meltdown in gaming history. Together they’re digging into what survived the trip from Naoko Takeuchi’s pages to console controllers, complete with overdramatic plot twists and Jupiter’s undefeated punch stat.

    Dust off your brooch, queue the theme song, and prepare for senshi squad analysis laced with villain rehab debates and moon prism power-ups that hit different on pixelated screens.

    Learn such things as:

    • Why Another Story might actually be canon. Sort of. Maybe.
    • How localization shaped the Western Sailor Moon fandom.
    • What the point of it all is if you don’t even have a cat to help guide you along the way.
    • And so much more!

    You can find Cass on their podcast Distant Echoes.

    If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.

    You can read the full thoughts from CountZeroOr here:

    Why we never got them? Well, I’d probably say it’s a combination of a couple factors: First, for much of the 16-bit console generation (and the 8-bit console generation before that), there was still a very considerable anti-Japan bias in terms of marketing of console games, based on the idea that American audiences wouldn’t buy anything actively presented as being Japanese, so Anime presentations were out (this is part of the reason why the first Ranma 1/2 fighting game was changed into “Street Combat”) – the Golgo 13 games were viewed as something of an outlier.

    While some later titles in the 90s would take chances on presenting themselves as being more anime (i.e. Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle), they were also titles for properties generally marketed to guys, as also around this time video game marketing was increasingly getting more gendered, something that would continue throughout the 90s and into the 2000s and beyond. As a property targeted for girls, Sailor Moon didn’t fit in the gender essentialist marketing plans of the video game industry.

    The fact that, since it’s a RPG, it also has a ton of text to localize and translate (versus to the Sailor Moon beat-em-ups), certainly didn’t help.

    The next episode is going to be Uncanny X-Men. That’s right, we’re taking another look at the NES game. What are your experiences with this one? If they remade it today what characters would you want included that weren’t in the original?

    Play Comics is part of the Gonna Geek Network, which is a wonderful collection of geeky podcasts. Be sure to check out the other shows on Gonna Geek if you need more of a nerd fix.

    You can find Play Comics @playcomics.bsky.social on Bluesky, @playcomicspodcast on Threads, @playcomics on YouTube, or the Play Comics website.

    If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

    A big thanks to Anime Field Guide and To the Batpoles! for the promos today.

    Intro/Outro Music by Backing Track, who saves every cat just in case it’s magical. Especially the one that’s a Red Lantern.

  23. They were right. That Parasite Isekai is kind of a banger. And not nearly as scatological as someone informed on how parasites work might fear.

  25. El #manga Stray Boy Overkill es una creación de nyalra, responsable de Needy Girl Overdose, y será publicado por #Kodansha en unas cuantas semanas. Conoce un poco de esta nueva historia que va a comenzar de un streamer y su fan más acérrima :3. universo-nintendo.com.mx/2026/

  26. El #anime #Gachiakuta fue un éxito en #Crunchyroll, pero mucho de este y al menos desde el principio fue más un trabajo de parte de #Kodansha. Todo debido al diferente enfoque que tienen en la promoción las compañías en Japón y las del extranjero :3. universo-nintendo.com.mx/2026/

  27. Since the Fist of The Northstar by Buronson & Tetsuo Hara fancy reprints from Viz ended, my #LCS suggested this new HC edition of #TheMagnificentBastard (The Legend of Keiji) #Manga again with the art by Tetsuo Hara and this time the story by Keiichuro Ryu and printed by #Kodansha. It is thicker, but other dimensions are the same as Viz.

    I have no idea about this series, but obviously I am familiar with the artist.
