About Matthew Magnus Lundeen
Matthew Magnus Lundeen is a writer, critic, and aspiring cinephile trying way too hard and simultaneously not enough. He writes anime features for The Best War Games when he isn't trying to write fiction.
Favorite Anime
My favorite anime is Bungo Stray Dogs. Come for the superpowers and beautiful characters. Stay for an emotional story with subtext about battling trauma.
Favorite Console
Living with a roommate that has an Xbox has spoiled me, so I don't really pick a side in the console war, but I'll always be a PlayStation boy at heart.
Favorite Games
There are several, but the easy choice is and always will be Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
