Review: Aria The Scarlet Ammo (Anime)
Lately I’ve been on a huge kick of watching anime that ranges from being dark to ones that will make you laugh or even sad. Heck last night I was watching a series and became sad once I realized a main character got sick and died. I know it’s a bit sad to hear about that but I wasn’t expecting a character from the first season to die a slow death in the second part. Anyways, with...[Read More]
Review: Deadman Wonderland (Anime)
A while back I saw trailers announcing that Deadman Wonderland was coming to DVD. I was extremely excited, and I knew deep down that a copy would eventually make its way into my hands from FUNimation. With that in mind, I skipped it on Cartoon Network’s Toonami, and I’m glad I did, because owning the most badass series to date is pretty awesome. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to th...[Read More]
Review: Steins;Gate Part 1 (Anime)
I’m not really sure what to think when I think of Steins;Gate Part 1. Honestly, just the name of this FUNimation anime title makes me think of some sort of “gate” being opened. Well, I’d consider myself kind of right, if the gate was a gate into the past. Yes, time travel. What if I told you that in this series you can jump timelines via a microwave? I think this was a rand...[Read More]
Review: Strike Witches 2 (Anime)
I’ve said it many times before, but I’m going to say it again: I absolutely love watching anime, whether it’s via Netflix, Hulu, or via Blu-Ray/DVD. In the pile next to me of recently watched anime is Strike Witches 2, the second season of the Strike Witches anime. After watching the first season on Netflix, I was in shock at the open ending, not knowing that a second season was ...[Read More]
Review: Freezing (Anime)
Do you want action, blood, suspense, some skin, and a little romance? Who doesn’t? 😉 Well the newest anime from FUNimation Entertainment is something worth checking out. What is this anime title, you ask? Freezing will provide you a lot of action, ass kicking, suspense, a little romance…and possibly a little bit of skin. I’m not saying showing some skin is bad because A: ratings ...[Read More]

Review: Shangri-La (Anime)
I love anime. I can sit down for hours and hours simply watching, whether it’s the latest release or something from my past. Most recently, I watched Shangri-La, published by FUNimation Entertainment. Shangri-La is a 24 episode series that sees global warming finally reach its breaking point. The setting is the 21st century, where there is now a carbon emission trade market in order to contr...[Read More]
Giveaway: Oblivion Island + Extras
WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Congratulations to Samuel H. for winning the grand prize, and Brian Lepak for winning the secondary prize! I’m not hip with it, when it comes to anime.

Review: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (Anime)
I got my hands on an early review copy of the upcoming anime series Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and let me tell you, I was blown away. Still to this moment, when I think about the entire series, I picture it as an absolutely perfect show for Adult Swim, if it ever gets the chance. Trust me when I say that viewers new to the series will drop their jaws. The series is vulgar, naughty, dirt...[Read More]
Review: Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike (Anime)
As I’ve said before, video game movies can be pretty rough. At times, a movie based on a video game may have a terribly translated story, while at other times, it can cross over from one medium to the other beautifully. This time, we’re looking at Tales of Vesperia, a well known Xbox 360 RPG that I’ve played in the past. The movie version, Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike, doe...[Read More]
