Recent Reviews

Shin chan Dub.DVD Season 3 Complete
Funimation's irreverent approach to the series hasn't changed, and that means that the show's appeal, and its drawbacks, remain largely the same. With one notable exception: the novelty has long since worn off.

Resident Evil Revelations
For people who've already played the original version this release offers very little. Everyone else might be surprised that the best Resident Evil in recent memory came out a year ago on a handheld console.

Tamako Market Episodes 1-12 Streaming
A delightfully light comedy, heavy on cute girls caught up in cute situations and supported by an infectious sense of fun.

Creamy Mami Episodes 1 - 7 streaming
Creamy Mami is a charming magical girl show from a less edgy time in animation featuring a heroine who just wants to use her powers to have fun, and on the whole it is a lot of fun and absolutely worth the watch.

One Piece DVD Season 4 Part 5
In the end this is just eleven episodes of connective tissue between last set's emotional meat and the savory feast of fighting that one hopes we'll be enjoying next.

Toriko DVD Set 4
Toriko stays focused on its core concept: strange worlds, deadly beasts, spectacular food ... The current storyline avoids the trap of endless battle, and moves briskly from one adventure to the next.

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut
Deadly Premonition's greatest achievement is that it is exactly the quality of some of the shlocky B-movies that inspired it.

Hyakko Sub.DVD
A friends-at-school comedy that proves more interested in becoming a kind of platonic, friendship-based harem series than an exploration of the characters or their relationships.

Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar BD+DVD
This standalone extension of the Tenchi Muyo! franchise does offer significant entertainment value, but in almost every aspect it lacks the energy and enthusiasm necessary to actually be a good series.

The Rose of Versailles Sub.DVD
It is easy to see why The Rose of Versailles is held in such high esteem. Emotional, historical, and beautiful to watch, the show brings the last years of the French monarchy to life in the best anime style.
