It’s been just about a year since the pandemic forced large events like anime conventions to shut down indefinitely, and by now we’re feeling that con-fever more than ever. So while we wait for the world to go back to normal, we have to wonder – when conventions do eventually come back, what will be the hot new cosplays to spot? Which 2020 anime and video game characters will stick in the popular consciousness long enough to have fans dress up as them? Here are our speculations and theories!
The Fire Emblem series uses a turn-based strategy system for its gameplay, arming the player with a dozen or so characters (each with their own strengths and abilities) to fight an opposing army in a chess-like arena. The latest game in the franchise, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, lives up to its predecessors with its exciting battle maps that pit your characters against nigh-impossible odds and require careful planning to master. Let’s check out some of our favorites!
Psychological anime are all about examining the mind, whether it’s the struggles of an individual or the collective unrest of an entire group. Oftentimes, these shows will subtly (or not-so-subtly) comment on issues in the real world through their storytelling, making them excellent time capsules for future generations to look back on. So how did the genre tackle the hot topics of this decade? Let’s take a look together at the best psychological anime of the 2010s!
The Fire Emblem series is no stranger to branched storytelling—Shadows of Valentia featured two interlocking tales and Fates forced you to choose between two opposing armies (with a secret third option available afterward), but Three Houses tops them all with four separate story campaigns. Whether you choose to lead the Black Eagles (which has two paths), the Blue Lions, or the Golden Deer, you’ll find a 40+ hour route ahead of you with different twists and turns.
So then, what’s the best way to play Fire Emblem: Three Houses? If you’re only going to go down one route, which one should it be? And which full order offers the best story experience? Here’s what we prefer!
Just like every modern Fire Emblem game, Three Houses has served as a delightful font of memes for the internet crowd.

But, among this sea of memes, which are the funniest and most creative? In no particular order, here are our favorites!
Fire Emblem: Three Houses tells a very serious story that explores classism, clashing ideologies, and the horrors of war, but that doesn’t mean it can’t lighten up every once in a while.

We’ve picked five of our favorites, so here are the funniest moments from Fire Emblem: Three Houses!
