The original Japanese title is “Hakozume BOX”, with Hako already meaning “box” to begin with. Basically it’s a “we put boxes in your box” kinda pun.

For further clarification, the Amiibo and soundtrack CD come as a bundle with a physical edition containing all three BoxBoy games, roughly translated as “BoxBoy! Stuffed Box”.
I am a little disappointed that, much like the PSP version (which judging from the LocoRoco and PataPon announcements that this port is based on), they haven’t made any effort to fix some of the little flaws of the original (namely concerning the lip-sync in certain parts) or add any improvements from the sequels like…
One of those rare times when Kotaku’s list fairly matches mine. Flip Flappers is definitely my favorite and an absolute must watch for anyone who loves animators doing whatever the hell they want. (I’m guessing whoever made this list wasn’t a Keijo fan XD)
It’s $4.99 in the US
Of all the drinking games that people have probably made up for E3, which do you think is going to cause the most alcohol-related casualties this year?
Yeah, this isn’t so much a ‘best anime’ list than it is ‘most popular among this group’ list, since it’s clear a lot of the entries come down to nostalgia/yaoiness/shonenjumpness. In a proper list, I’d expect School-Live! to be there.
I’m more surprised by the stuff that has made it through to the English dub. The concept of death exists, people talk about taking big stinky poops, kids stay up to watch the ‘late night’ channel, and Manjimutt makes a vase of a busty chick. They seem to have struck a nice balance between keeping the obvious stuff…
The irony of all the recent fanart is that Agiri was high as heck in the series to begin with.
As far as the first point is concerned, you do have to remember they have a large part of the school barricaded off, so there’s notably more debris in the zombie-inhabited areas. As for why noone bothers clearing up the actual classrooms of all the broken glass, we’ll chalk that one down to either respecting the other…
I think the difference with those films is that the delusion in those films make up pretty much the entire film, saving their reveals til the very end, whereas this one shows its main premise reveal after the first ep/chapter, but still keeps the reader unaware of what else might be false. It’s hard and a little…
I like how the anime altered some things from the manga to make it work better as a TV show, expanding on some scenes while cutting out less neccessary ones.
Here’s some of mine:
School-Live! is certainly one of the sneaker hits this season. New season of Non Non Biyori is enjoyably serene too. There’s also the ridiculousness that is Symphogear, though it may be trickier to reccomend since the first two seasons aren’t up for legel streaming yet.
When working with trailers that typically involve a montage of footage with a music track over it, do developers give the gameplay clips with fully synced sound effects included or, as is noticeable in some Sonic game trailers, do you have to place in sound effects piece by piece?
Now if only there was a proper explanation for all the dumb name changes Nintendo gives their games (mostly pertaining to Kirby and Rhythm Heaven)
I also highly reccomend Yuki Yuna wa Yuusha de aru. Some good magical girl action with some superbly written characters.
