So I sat down to start watching Gonzo’s “Gad Guard”, not knowing much about the series, except that it was a mecha anime. Now I know what you’re thinking (I thought it too); if you’ve seen one mecha anime, you’ve seen ‘em all. But don’t count out “Gad Guard”; it may surprise you, a little. [...]

Wow, been almost seven months since we found out this would be coming out in the USA. It’s been a few years since the last time we checked in on Ed and Al, let’s see if the Fullmetal Alchemist still shines (I really should stop with the puns and bad jokes in reviews…)

We are finally getting an American release of the fully remastered Dragon Ball Z Dragonboxes. Not generally a person to just post post press releases, but for now I’m just quite happy that it’s actually happening, so I’ll let Funi’s press release do the talking.

I’ve been able to confirm that pre-production work has began on an English version of Stitch! at Studiopolis using the [...]
