Dismember November: More Uni Woes N Shit

I really don’t like having to write posts like this.

No matter if i can stick in a Hololive meme for confusion’s sake, because i have yet again (feeling very Bernie Sanders-y) to cut down on posting, had to think about it but i need to focus on thesis stuff, i really need to.

So that means that while October schedule (already in place months ago) will go on as planned, i will have to basically halve the full lenght reviews for November, and i will be taking a break the first week of Dicember, to ensure good ol’ 12 Days Of Dino Dicember will happen as always, that one won’t be affected.

The January winter hiatus will happen as usual, meaning from January 7 to January 14 the blog will go on a break/pause, resuming on the 15th.

Summer Of EDF redux, Shark-A-Palooza, Idol Honses, Switch 2 and One Piece August

Update time!

Since i’m knee deep in thesis work which it’s gonna take my entire summer and up to October, i had to make some changes to the schedule up to August.

Due to personal stuff, i will be away for thi weekend, hence some EXPRESSO reviews are gonna be late or aren’t gonna happen at all, some were not gonna regardless, for example don’t expect a review of Final Destination Bloodlines as i really haven’t kept up with the series, at all, and this ain’t a reboot, it’s a direct sequel continuining from FD 5, but i will see and review Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (aka Dead Reckoning Part 2), with some luck i can catch a preview screening for that.

Surprisingly there’s also a Largo Winch movie (this will mean something only to “Europeans” comics fans, maybe) here… but its a sequel to another Largo Winch movie they made in 2008, technically also the sequel to 2011 Largo Winch 2, so it’s the last in a trilogy that just got home video releases (not really publicized at all, too, just put out there) until now here, one i didn’t know it even existed until now.

You know, now i’m kinda tempted to see the movie anyway to see if it made sense to release it as they did. Kinda.

Expect one of Umamusume Pretty Derby too, as the original smarthphone game is finally hitting a global release in late June, i’m gonna be ready.

Summer of EDF is still gonna happen, but will be in “mini” format, meaning 2 reviews instead of the planned 4, and i guess that means we’ll still be doing it next summer, so…

On the flipside, there are gonna be more shark movie reviews, alongside some anime series’ reviews.

Down With The Sickness (& Flood)

Sorry for EXPRESSO reviews being scarcer than usual these weeks, i have been sick, plus in my region there had been floods (i’m fine), so for a couple days schools and most shops (including cinemas) closed, but it was brief, so i’m gonna try to catch up to the latest releases in cinema here, and i will be dipping in Netflix’s catalogue as well, though some EXPRESSO reviews are gonna be delayed a bit anyway (like the one for Oz Perkins’ The Monkey), and i wanted to also review some gachas like Girls Frontline 2, but i had technical issues, not much time for that anwyay, and the PC release was confusing, so i dunno. Maybe, maybe not.

This ain’t gonna affect Giant Monster March full lenght pieces, the next one is releasing in a couple of days as planned.

The January Uni Break und The Mini Rewritecalypse

As previously announced, i’m gonna take a break because i’m busy beyond belief with universital woes and such things, so from today until the 19th of January, full lenght reviews are gonna be a no show, and – again, as i previously promised – to avoid stretching the hiatus further i will be doing rewrites of some older reviews stuck on old italian blogs that could use a do over.

EXPRESSO reviews will come out as usual.

From February we’ll resume with the regular schedule.

Pulling Out, The Early Dicember Academic Break and The January Void (not part of the Wizarding World)

So, i had a rewritten/revised/expanded review of the GITS Stand Alone Complex PSP game ready for the next weekly review (which would have dropped today) … but then i remembered there’s a new Ghost In The Shell anime in the work by Science Saru coming in 2026, so there’s an idea for a GITS retrospective, maybe not as comprehensive i’d wish, but we’ll see.

Hence that review will be “hoarded” and i will release two EXPRESSO reviews of the Metal Slug spin-offs most recent releases, upon which i had been sitting for some months because i couldn’t find the right timing. … this ain’t it, but you’ll get both, so rejoice.

You’ll also get the EXPRESSO review for The Gladiator 2, i had setbacks but i plan to see it ASAP.

On a more christmas-y note, due to academic woes and other IRL stuff i won’t disclose, i will be taking off the first 2 weeks of December, resume on the 15th with a review of some garbage trash movie, another full review a week later, then on the 25th until we’ll kick off this year’s 12 Days Of Dino Dicember, ending on January 6th, after which there won’t be any full review until February, due to similar issues.

I might search in my backlog and see if there’s some rewrites to be done as i would like to bring over here my full catalogue, but i don’t want to simply translate into english my ol’ crap, it’s boring for me as well. We’ll see.

Technical Difficulties II: The Fixening

So, the issues with the PC have been fixed, i will update the latest reviews in terms of images used (had to use the WordPress app, so couldn’t use my screenshots for the reviews, even though i had them prepared) later, but i will have to postpone my review for My Deer Friend Nokotan (meant for today) to at least the 6th of November.

After that, the normal weekly release schedule will resume, might have to take a break early in December in order to ensure this year’s 12 Days Of Dino Dicember, we’ll see about that.

In the meantime, i had the pleasure to see a preview screening for Terrifier 3, so expect an EXPRESSO review for that… not tomorrow, that’s when my EXPRESSO review for Venom The Last Dance will drop.

Super Summer Hiatus: Triple Deluxe

So, the summer hiatus for the blog starts today, but due to university woes and cramming exams, i will be taking a couple of extra weeks off, so we’ll resume on the 15th of September instead of the 1st, and as a form of “compensation” we’ll have a review up every 3 days instead of weekly.

As usual, the hiatus will not apply for the EXPRESSO rubric.

Happy holidays!

Early April Hiatus + Musou May Swapparoni

As mentioned at the start of this year’s Giant Monster March, i’m gonna take a break of two week starting from early April for educational reasons (uni and related stuff), and will resume on the 15th of April with my reviews of the last (and i assume final) batch of DLC contents for Pirate Warriors 4 and maybe a Ghostbusters related thingie.

As usual, during the break EXPRESSO reviews might still come about, and to a certain extent will.

ALSO, might as well put out that there won’t be Musou May this year, for schedule and reality reasons, but there will be Melee May instead, as look as various beat ‘em ups/hack n slash games that aren’t musou or musou-like, for a change.

Cupid Down (With The Sickness TM)

Today i was supposed to have out the review for the Vlad Love anime series, but i haven’t been feeling well, i had some serious sleep deprivation shit to undo after a string of master degree-tier exams, so yep, that review is coming later (SEO juice be damned), there are some EXPRESSO reviews coming up (one later today) as i catch up as i can to the cinematic releases here.
