Recent Reviews

Gakuen Alice Sub.DVD
From its opening frame, the series exudes a pure, honest desire to entertain that is no less endearing for not being backed up with the skill to pull it off.

Oh My Goddess! (2nd Ed) GN 12
Keiichi. Belldandy. Together forever. Why mess with a formula that works?

Romeo x Juliet: Romeo Collection
Shakespeare's classic tragedy about teenage love and woe comes to anime in a stylish fantasy reinterpretation by Gonzo. The dynamics may be a bit different, but an effective blend of action and drama forms a backdrop for this beautiful exploration of the pain and joy of fresh young love.

Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens Sub.DVD 1
An art student's carving of a girl from the wood of a sacred tree comes to life as the region's depowered guardian goddess, who seeks to become an idol to restore her power, in this cute and occasionally funny harem-flavored series. It may hold an appeal for less cynically-minded otaku.

Skip Beat! Episodes 1-25 Streaming
Begins as a showbiz shojo confection and ends as full-course feast of fiendishly addictive entertainment for all ages and sexes.

Death Note Re-Light DVD 1
The Death Note TV series gets a condensed movie version in this substantially shortened retooling of the series. Those expecting a completely fresh perspective will be disappointed, as it only mixes a few minutes of new scenes with clips from the original episodes.

Claymore DVD 6
The paths of Clare and Priscilla finally converge as the anime version comes to its controversial conclusion. The appropriateness of what transpires in the final episode may be subject to debate, but the quality of the series is not.

Gurren Lagann GN 1
It's no surprise when a hit anime series gets converted to manga form. So it should also come as no surprise that, after comparing the two, the original is better.

KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple DVD Season 1 Part 2
Upticks in seriousness notwithstanding, it's still very, very silly. The forward strides it takes are only enough to ensure that its mix of silly fun doesn't stagnate. Which is, of course, exactly as intended.

Bleach DVD 17
The Bount arc gets properly underway, and lays a solid foundation, as Ichigo and associates encounter a new threat. The actual course of events is a very typical mix of flashy action, silly comedy, and good old-fashioned angst, but it should keep fan interest.

Seikai: Crest of the Stars 2 - A Modest War
The meticulously-detailed Abh people and culture continue to fascinate as the story of Lafiel and Jinto advances. If you liked the first novel or the anime series, this one will undoubtedly be a winner for you, too.
