Monster Strike is celebrating its 3rd Year Anniversary in the Japan version at the moment and it has a special Gacha that let's you choose from 5 6* cards of an element. It seems like a really good time to re-roll during this period! I've had problems with the game previously but with this latest 8.0 version, I seem to be able to use the app properly now.
Once you complete the tutorial, which is pretty quick compared to the PAD one IMO, check the red present box icon to find the mail with "3" in its text. (Edit: "3" + it's found in the "[]" brackets) The gacha will appear after you opened that mail. I've tried re-rolling a few times but it is quite tedious as I'm on iOS 10 and have to delete the whole app in order to do so; I did not jailbreak and iOS 10 do not allow using external file explorer. I've read that re-rolling isn't necessary but I'll give it a go until this special hatcher ends and see if I can get any of the OP cards before that.
I've researched around and the top cards seem to be Gabriel from Wood, Lucy from Dark, Arthur and GodStriker from Light. For full breakdown of the elements and their top cards, check out the Monster Strike Blog by SFGundam:

I figured out the location after having use the PAD website for a while. I refer to this list for the 3rd Anniversary Hatcher more than the Monster Strike Blog links above, as GameWith's has everything on a page. I'm still having no luck with the rerolling and I just reroll a few times a day as it is quite tedious on un-jailbroken iOS 10.

Puzzle & Dragons: My Rurouni Kenshin Collab roll
Doing a recap about Rurouni Kenshin Collab which happened a while back in Japan version and had also reach the other regions if I'm not mistaken. I did a single roll and was very lucky to get Saito: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=3033.
He was my first orb cross leader and I had quite a bit of fun with this new playstyle. I also did not buy You-yu and he was a decent replacement for a leader with insane attack multiplier. (Not sure if UUVO Sarasvati arrived at that time though) Saito should be very useful against the +297 Zeus dungeon although I have not tried him yet. I have some friends who put him up for a while but everyone had eventually moved on to other leaders like the heart-crossed ones which are just better overall. I hardly use him now although my dark box had the most +297 cards and it's mainly due to my blue cards slowly becoming better after the Summer Gacha and also a certain Blue Miru... I'll talk about that gacha in a future post soon as I continue my recap.
The other card I kept from the Collab was Anji from the dungeon: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=3045. I kept 2 in fact as I managed to max skilled 2 while farming Saito's skill-up card at the same time. I use one of him occasionally in my Red Odin button-press teams for quick Guerrilla Dungeon farming. I didn't get around to fully awakening the other Anji but once done, I can do a team with 5 button-press nukes using them, Awoken Ra and the 2 leader Red Odins. Rounding up the team with a Tengu and the skill boost badge, I'll be able to have all nukes ready on turn 1.

Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan's Story Gacha roll
Refer here for a list of the cards in this gacha: http://pad.skyozora.com/news/期間限定的特別抽蛋「ストーリーフェス」登場!!
I rolled once and got a Chibi Amaterasu and have already sold it. The GFE in the machines are quite attractive but I think it's mostly going to be a Chibi Fiesta so I don't recommend rolling too much in this. Check out Minpuzz's compilation of some Twitter rolls for reference: http://minpuzz.com/blog-entry-13035.html.

Monster Hunter Generations: Tips and Links
I played this game for a while and it helped to take my focus away from PAD for a while. I eventually stopped though as I completed most of the main game and didn't really want to grind for the rest of the weapons and armors. Most of my friends playing together have also moved on to other games so that is another factor. Nevertheless, I had great fun and here are some tips and links that I researched while I was playing:
How I play Pokemon console games now
I used to play really slow and try to catch every Pokemon in an area before proceeding to the next town/gym but now I just go to http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Main_Page to find the speed run guides for the particular Pokemon game and follow that instead of a full guide. I don't follow it strictly and try to avoid trainers but this faster way of playing is great because I have a huge backlog of games and want to move on to others. Besides, Pokemon Sun and Moon is coming out in 1 and a half months time...
Pokemon Go: Tips and Links
I played the game for a while but have stopped now except to check once in a long. I figured the end game, other than trying to catch them all, is battling and controlling gyms. I guessed that as the most valuable game currency (akin to the "magic stones" PAD) are given from controlling a gym for a set amount of time. However, I don't like the battle mechanics as it is mostly just rapid tapping on your Pokemon. It definitely does not have the depth of the handheld Pokemon Games are even competitive and have world tournaments. The game has made me interested in Pokemon again though and I went back to try to complete Pokemon White for the DS.
I might pick up the game more if they improve the battling system but I highly doubt so. Here are some tips and links I picked up while researching about the game. I don't use any illegal methods like apps to tell you spawn locations or location spoofers:

Puzzle & Dragons: June Bride Seasonal Gacha
Fun Fact about the gacha theme: http://learnjapanese123.com/blog/2010/06/６月の花嫁-rokugatsu-no-hanayome-june-bride
Card art: http://www.padpadblog.com/2016/05/pad_29.html
Full Gacha card list: http://www.padpadblog.com/2016/05/blog-post_72.html (please refer to around the second half of the page)
Card Info in English: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/whatsnew.asp?d=053016
Gadius is the MP card. Light cards galore in this Gacha! If you are running a mono-light team, there are quite a few gold eggs that are great subs in this Gacha.
I love the art for Echidna, Izanami and Eschamali the most but in terms of card usage, I think they are "wants" more than "needs", although Izanami might be good for my Yuna/ADQXQ/Hathor though. The first 2 are probably the most useful cards out of the silvers, Kano and Ruka though.
Kano and Ruka are nowhere near as good as New Year Mitsuki, they could very well just have been silvers but it's great for additional MP when I sell I guess... I rolled a Kano and am planning to sell her.
