Spoiler alert Warning: While I don’t go into any specific story spoilers in this post, there are some images from the game that might be considered spoilers. I’ve probably started this blog three or four times now, and for some reason, nothing really seems to stick. I mean, how do you sum up a series […]
Battle Royale games make me feel old.
After a nice jaunt back to the FPA in the last episode, Legend of the Galactic Heroes pulls the opposite and brings us into the Empire’s neo-classical clutches. Spoiler warning, as usual. # Episode Name Original Air Date Focus Wiki Link Watched Version S01E04 “Empire’s Afterglow” 1989/01 Flashbacks [LINK] Central Anime ◄ See previous episode […]
