Manga Review – RWBY: The Official Manga, Vol. 1
by: Zachary Snoddy First off, I must confess: I have never seen the RWBY anime. In fact, I didn’t even know about RWBY until I read other other articles my fellow writers have contributed to the site. But upon delving into some research, my intrigue was immediately sparked by the show’s description. The problem was […]
Let’s Watch Golden Kamuy S1E1
Golden Kamuy is definitely an interesting series on premise alone. It focuses around the island of Hokkaido in the early 20th century during the Meiji restoration. This was Japan’s era of growth and becoming much more Westernized. If you’re unfamiliar, watch the History of Japan video on YouTube. It’s a quick, funny way to have […]
The Culture Behind the Grimm
If there was one show that I immediately fell in love with, it is RWBY. What can I say about it that people have not already said? The characters, the theories, the ships, and more. It is an all you can eat buffet of potential to get into, with dessert. I love the lore of […]

Greetings readers, CuriousCat-13 here with a new episode of The Underrated Vault. Do you ever re-watch a series that drifts in and out of your memory because of its simple, yet entertainingly brilliant concept?

How Prince Panther Has Kept Mortal Kombat’s Competitive Scene Alive in 2020
by: Zachary Snoddy In a year where it was supposed to expand to greater heights than anyone could have imagined, 2020 has instead seen the fighting game community sink to an all-time low. Global cancellations of tournaments, unreliable online netcodes, and a shameful chain of sexual abuse scandals have shaken the community from top to […]
An Honest RWBY ComicCon @Home Reaction
Wednesday to Sunday of last week was filled with news of all kinds for geeks of all background. I didn’t really look at any of the programming personally aside from the RoosterTeeth panel on Saturday and 4PM EST. Even then, I skipped over about 80% of it. The panel included information about an upcoming Transformers […]
New Horizons: A Veteran’s Perspective
Note: I am sorry to any TTS users. I normally include image descriptions but this goes into a lot of my island aesthetics. There are just so many images that I don’t want to try to describe them all. As I’ve mentioned before in my other Animal Crossing content, I’m a veteran of the series. […]
What It’s Like To Be Burnt Out and Have Writer’s Block
This is probably an article I never thought I’d write given I’ve been launching articles in a never ending barrage, but in late May, I put out my last article and spent the entire month of June on break from article writing. I went from having a lot of ideas to write, to having too […]
“Relic” Movie Review
by: Zachary Snoddy Note: This is a spoiler-free review. 2020 has been a rough year for movie-goers. Like nearly all other aspects of society, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to movie theatres being shut down across the world, stalling nearly every new movie in 2020’s release. Those who look forward to circling release dates on […]
