Recent Reviews

MM! Sub.DVD
Can a series about a group of rowdy perverts be sensitive and intelligent? Maybe, but you wouldn't know it from MM!.

Spice and Wolf II Blu-Ray + DVD
Combines a honed narrative sense with a greater focus on Holo and Lawrence's relationship to create a sophisticated cinematic confection the quality of which is quite simply beyond denial.

Detroit Metal City GN 10
Detroit Metal City should perhaps have been half the length it is, but it goes out with, if not a bang, then a promise. Soichi resolves some of his internal issues, makes an effort to get the girl of his dreams, and finds a kind of happiness. If you've stuck with the series this long, there's really no reason to stop before finishing it.

Sound of the Sky DVD
Moe military girls man an outpost on the edge of a war-ravaged civilization in a series which aspires, with some success, to expand the narrative range of heavily moe titles. Nozomi's production of this release, though not dubbed, is complete and professional.

Yuruyuri Episodes 1-7 Streaming
You want to know what nothingness feels like? The pure absence of sensation, the black void of total thoughtlessness? You don't have to die or get stranded in deep space. All you have to do is watch Yuruyuri.

Mardock Scramble: The First Compression DVD
A troubled teen prostitute returns from the brink of death as a cyborg in this trilogy-initiating short movie. It eventually proves to be the kind of graphic, imaginative, and super-charged fare which got many enthusiastic about anime in the first place.

Animal Land GN 1
Makoto Raiku says in the afterward that he is trying to tackle difficult issues not often seen in manga and that he is somewhat surprised to find himself writing an animal story. But branching out can often reap large rewards, and that is definitely the case here as Raiku sets out into uncharted territory.

Black Bird GN 8-10
Black Bird has never really aspired to be literature, but in at least two of these three volumes it also loses the right to call itself “good.” The disturbing aspects of Kyo and Misao's relationship far outweigh the romantic ones, making this an almost textbook example of what you don't want in your daughter's love life.

Mystic Archives of Dantalian Episodes 1-6 Streaming
A rich slice of atmosphere wrapped in a thin veil of sleuthing. Plenty tasty most of the time, but leaves you feeling kind of empty in the end.

20th Century Boys GN 16
Each new installment is declared "the most important one yet!" Volume 16, however, is one that actually lives up to the hype ... telling the villain's side of the story.

Random Fun

Kodocha DVD 4
New love triangles form as more Sana-charged zaniness ensues. If a hyperactive shojo comedy flavored with a bit of dramatic content and some real depth sounds like a fun view to you then Kodocha is well worth your while to check out.
