JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Episodes 1-39 Streaming
anime
Could Diamond is Unbreakable be the best Jojo's saga yet? Nick Creamer has the answers.
― JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has certainly gone places. With Battle Tendency ending on a fight for the sake of the world, and Stardust Crusaders focusing on a globe-hopping battle against a vampire with time powers and laser eyes, it'd be hard for JoJo's fourth arc to raise the stakes in terms of scale. Instead, Dia...

Interview: Hunter x Hunter Voice Actress Erica Mendez
anime
Hunter x Hunter's dark, gripping take on the shonen formula has thrilled fans for years - we ask the voice of Gon himself, voice actress Erica Mendez, about the journey.

One of Sunrise's biggest hits arrives on Blu-Ray just in time for its ten-year anniversary! Jacob Chapman check out the release to see if this wild ride still holds up.
― Ten years after it initially aired, Code Geass still remains a megaton franchise in Japan. Not only have its spinoff OVAs continued to sell fantastically well to this day, but we even got the shocking announcement of a direct sequel...
Answerman - Are Anime Sequels Ever Made Just For The West?
anime
If an anime is really popular in the west, but doesn't do so well in Japan, do they ever make a sequel anyway? It turns out they do - Justin runs it down.
― James asks: On occasion, there are series that are more popular in countries outside of Japan then they are within Japan itself, with some notable examples being The Big O, Outlaw Star, and Cowboy Bebop. In such instances, do the Japanese produc...

Show By Rock!! BD+DVD
anime
Sanrio's hit rhythm game adventure comes to life in anime form through the colorful music of Plasmagica and friends, but is this show worth watching on its own merits? Rebecca Silverman finds out.
― Show by Rock has the kind of pedigree that might make you worry. Based on a rhythm game and owned by Sanrio, you could be forgiven for having serious misgivings about this series starring adorable people ...
Bloom into You GN 1
manga
This yuri romance starts off in ways just different enough from the genre norm to be intriguing. Rebecca Silverman explains why.
― Asexuality is perhaps one of the least represented sexual orientations in fiction, and a yuri series is certainly one of the last places you might expect to find it. And yet the first volume of Nio Nakatani's Bloom into You has overtones of one of its heroines, Yuu, being...
