Welcome!

We invite you to our humble blog, JustRice. The title is a bit of a misnomer since rice is quite rarely mentioned, if at all. This is a blog purely about entertainment. We dish out opinionated blabber (a.k.a. reviews) about video games, anime, manga, and whatever else seems to be bothering our conscience. True, it's a mix that's all been done before, but we add a healthy (and much needed) dose of Catholic perspective to give you that extra info rarely talked about in this area. If you are curious how Catholicism (whether you are part of the religion or not) intermingles with entertainment, then read on! Enjoy and God bless!

Reviews?

Will they ever exist? The answer is yes. When will they exist? Who knows... Lately I've been playing a lot of Dungeon Defenders so that's the best candidate for reviewing. So far, I can safely say that it is a fun and addicting game that is sure to take up many hours of my life for the next month or so.
As far as anime is concerned, my family has been watching all the works of Hayao Miyazaki, which I would highly recommend anyone and everyone check out. Really young children might get scared of some parts though. The general rating for his films is PG, but they always feature strong main characters with compelling morals. Great values with clever story telling and luscious backdrops make this man's works so appealing for any age group.
The majority of his works are put out by Disney. As a matter of fact, there is a new Disney/Studio Ghibli coming out mid February if you want to check out a Hayao Miyazaki film in theaters!
Anyway, this is my first blog so I ask for your understanding if things do not seem up to professional standards and I am always eager for comments (not that there's any valid material for that yet)!
