Mou Hitori: Square Enix does Facebook
http://mouhitori.blogspot.com/2010/11/square-enix-does-facebook.html
Square Enix does Facebook. Finally Square Enix has joined the Facebook gaming scene and starts by introducing a couple of games: Knights of the Crystals. Final Fantasy in Mafia Wars style) and Chocobo's Crystal Tower. It looks like the sheer amount of profits generated by the less than stellar games on Facebook by companies like Zynga has finally tempted Square to make its move. After the somewhat less than awesome launch of FFXIV, the income would probably help. I couldn't run Chocobo's Crystal Tower at...

Mou Hitori: Slap up Party -Arad Senki- Episode 1:
http://mouhitori.blogspot.com/2009/04/slap-up-party-arad-senki-episode-1.html
Slap up Party -Arad Senki- Episode 1:. The anime is actually based on a Korean MMORPG, and a lot of the production of the series seems to be done with a Korean staff. The game has 6 basic types to choose from (demon knight, male gunner, fighter, priest, magician, female gunner), and each type would then evolve when they reach certain levels. It would be interesting to see how the anime will be able to portray this. While the villagers didn't actually want to trap them, trouble is not over. Seeing the...

http://mouhitori.blogspot.com/2009/04/dragon-ball-kai-first-impression-kai.html
Dragon Ball Kai First Impression (ドラゴンボールKAI 改). A HD remaster of Dragon Ball Z with a much more compact representation is what this series is being touted as. Despite being a fan of the manga, I cannot bear to watch the original series due to its legendary slowness. Will they get it right this time? The first episode began with a quick recap on Son Goku's background, including how the Saiyans fought against Freeza and failed miserably. Opening theme song: Dragon Soul by Tanimoto Takayoshi (谷本 貴義). Shira...
