Many of you might be wondering why some burly, manly specimen like myself would be so ecstatic at the return of a pair of children’s films. You may proceed straight to hell. I think you know the way. ANYWAY! Unico is one of many brainchildren of Osamu Tezuka and was pretty awesome back in the day, his two films making their way onto the Disney Channel, which used to be a big deal. I was too young to really tell you any more than that… Continue reading →
I figured since I’ve been dragging my ass on this that it would only be fair to give you the first episode before I ranted and railed about it. Other stuff is moving around, but I’m trying to diversify my portfolio of fun and work on other things besides older posts. TRYING being the key word in that phrase. I’ve seen the entire first season ans I’ve got stuff so we can chat about it, but I feel you should have a look just to… Continue reading →
The Gunsmith Cats & Riding Bean double feature review is spruced up for public consumption. With Youtube videos dying out I need to reformat my reviews to be less video-centric and Gunsmith Cats/Riding Bean is the first of many to be given a facelift. Please read it and leave a comment, we have hostages.
Kiddy Grade may sound like some hentai grading system for child molesters, but it’s actually the title of an anime series that follows the exploits of a pair of special agents in an anti-terrorist organization in the far future where mankind has left earth and now occupies many terraformed planets out in distant space. Eclair acts the series primary protagonist working in tandem with her hacker partner Lumière as her singular grounding element and buzzkill as the pair take n tasks for the GOTT’s elite… Continue reading →
Santa if you read this, I want this. I don’t mean to point fingers or anything, but you owe me big man. You know what I mean… That one time with that thing that one time? Yeah. THAT. This was my first and foremost introduction to anime and the first true demonstration of robots running amok and the beautiful destruction that follows. To date, the only thing I’ve ever owned from Grendizer (or “Grandzier” in the USA, or “Goldorak” in Europe) was a crappy pencil… Continue reading →
(Yes. It’s Japanese. Just watch it!) Do you know that people actually read this site?! I know! I was shocked too! Project A-ko fans like my review of the brilliant first film, which I need to add is back on the market again.
So I went through my semi-weekly Netflix tantrum wanting to have something that would actually be worth slapping my eyes against and after a few… disappointments that we can discuss later, I ran into this thing called Kenichi. A kick mocked for his wobbling weak knees makes a stand for justice… and a big boobed hottie with glasses by throwing himself into martial arts. Kenichi is inducted into an eccentric training hall housing masters of weapons, muay tai, karate, kung fu and more, but with… Continue reading →
(This is the opening for the first episode. Make of it what you will. I almost went out to buy it that day until I saw the credits roll a few minutes later.) Hetalia is just weird as hell. There. I said it. I would say it again, if I had to. Don’t let that put you off though, that doesn’t mean that it’s bad. It’s brilliantly funny in many ways, it’s just that the length of each episode is laughably short leading to a… Continue reading →
Well, okay… technically that isn’t Optimus Prime and yet, technically he is. During the 90′s, the Japanese had this nifty series set after the main Transformers TV series called “Super God Masterforce” which introduced the Pretenders and their battle for Earth. The meat of the series was really all the humans who became Transformers themselves through a series a wild Power Ranger gestures to become transforming engine blocks or robot heads that would allow them to control larger robot bodies. The guy above was called… Continue reading →
Back when Final Fantasy was good, there was this little gem: the sixth entry, Final Fantasy VI. It’s the one entry that springs to mind whenever the franchise is mentioned and its the standard of excellence that I have held every game to since. Of course, back then we called it Final Fantasy III in the USA… Anyway, the guy behind Fullmetal Alchemist liked it enough to swap characters out of the TV show’s opening and replace them with the game’s heroes, villains and espers.… Continue reading →
