Charming, Studio Ghibli-esque magical life sim Kitori Academy – which I covered quite some time ago when it was known by another name – is currently seeking funds via Kickstarter. […]
Having not expected to enjoy this crossover, I was a bit late to the party with My Little Pony/Transformers. I’m glad I finally gave it a chance, however, as you’ll […]
The fun continues in My Little Pony/Transformers #3, the penultimate issue of the crossover that seems as if it could very easily have been the most cynical of marketing ploys […]
