It's always the right time to discover, or rediscover _Bubblegum Crisis_, and this Perfect Collection from AnimEigo provides the ideal way to do so. ― A flagship title not just for AnimEigo, but for the anime medium itself, it's easy to see how Bubblegum Crisis caught on all those decades ago. It's arresting before you even know what it's about: a moody intro pans over grimy cyberpunk backdrops ripped ...

Although _Him, the Smile, & Bloom_ wouldn't be the first otome game I'd recommend, it's still a good time. ― Although it's not unheard of (Norn9, anyone?), Him, the Smile, & Bloom isn't an otome game where you're forced to choose between romantic interests.
