In the midst of Pixar and the pulling way from hand drawn animation here in the US, Anime holds a nostalgic place in my heart. Whenever a new Anime comes along with a story I’m really interested in I try to find time to watch it even with my busy schedule. Stories dealing with growing up are one of my favorites. Hanasaku Iroha~Blossoms for Tomorrow centers on a 16 year old girl, Ohana Matsum...[Read More]
Years ago, manga artist/writer Rumiko Takahashi, creator of some of the most popular series on both sides of the Pacific (including the legendary Ranma 1/2), created her most ambitious work. It was the culmination of all her talents for comedy, romance, action and horror, a feudal fairy tale following the story of a girl thrown back in time, teaming with a half-demon boy on a journey to reassemble...[Read More]
One of the things that often happen with popular anime, particularly of the shonen (boys) action variety is that they end up with lots of movies. These are usually not considered canon, and often have a self-contained story that has no bearing on the series’ main plot. The wildly popular Naruto franchise already had 3 movies before becoming Naruto Shippuden, and this is the second movie of t...[Read More]
As some of you may already know, I’m something of a fan of the anime Bleach. And here we have the latest movie for the franchise, Hell Verse. Is it a good entry to the saga, or a dud?
With so much coming out, one of the latest series I’ve finished has been Shakugan no Shana. You’ll be sure to see the Season 2 review and OVA review in the future. Of course later this year will be Season 3 once that has been released. With that said I’m starting with my review of Season 1. This series has a lot to offer and has kept me wanting more. Why? That’s a good ques...[Read More]
One of the great classics of anime among western fans is the sci-fi comedy Tenchi Muyo. This is one of the first anime I ever really got into when I was an early teen. And after decades, the original OVA (Original Video Animation) series is being re-released on Blu-Ray. Does this classic hold up?
Do you enjoy watching the latest and greatest anime? Who doesn’t! Well moments ago the XBL application for Neon Alley went live. What does this mean for you, the viewer? You’ve guessed it! A nearly endless amount of anime in English dub. At this moment I’m downloading away so I can spend tonight checking out the collection I can watch since Netflix has limited anime I enjoyed.
I’ll be honest, I’d heard of Tenchi Muyo but just never really decided to check out the series. That’s after FUNimation Entertainment sent over Tenchi Muyo: Tenchi Universe for me to review as you can clearly read. I wasn’t sure what to expect since this is a classic show made in the mid 90’s. I know you’re thinking…Wait, FUNimation Entertainment re-releas...[Read More]
When I first started to watch Ergo Proxy I wasn’t sure what to think about the series. I’m being honest! Sometimes when I look at the graphics of a series I might push away a little but I’ll stick to it so I can complete a series. I’m glad stuck to watching the series since I would’ve missed out on so much. After watching Egro Proxy I was happy with how the story was...[Read More]
