Maria Watches Over Us: Season Four, Early Review

Right Stuf/Nozomi/TRSI/any other name you can come up with is back with another DVD release.  And this time it’s a return to Maria Watches Over Us.
 

 
Season 4 of Marimite (ha ha, short show nicknames make the job easier!) returns to a few different major and minor plot threads that in various ways reach back to [...]

Toradora!: Volume One- Premium Edition, Early Review

A new company arrives with a series that has a bit of a following.
 

 
Toradora! is finally coming to the USA via NIS America.  Rather than just getting the vanilla treatment though, NIS is going the premium route for their anime releases.  Does Toradora! (last time I use the exclamation point…) end up being a good [...]

Lost Outside America: Space Adventure Cobra

Greetings viewers! The name’s Samuel Savage but I’m better known as PirateBeck these days. You probably haven’t heard of me before and considering my line of work is very different to that of a reviewer, I can’t honestly blame you. However, it’s something I’ve had an interest in for quite some time so Marc’s giving [...]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood- Part One (Blu-ray), Early Review

One of the more popular anime and manga series of the past decade returns.
 

 
Yes yes, Fullmetal Alchemist returns.  Rather than a sequel to the first anime series, this new series is taking the true to the manga route.  Is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood already a shining piece of steel in its first 13 episodes, or does [...]

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Part One (DVD), Early Review

I bet you are wondering why I’m reviewing Kai again…
 

 
I decided since I have both on hand to not leave our DVD only friends hanging without proper caps and a review.  When it is appropriate I’ll be using text from the Blu-ray, but anything that is different for the DVD version (packaging, video quality, audio, [...]

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Part One (Blu-ray), Early Review

The franchise that will never die returns, but on Blu-ray in a new ‘refreshed’ version.
 

 
Yes, Dragon Ball Z returns as Dragon Ball Z Kai.  After stacks of releases in the USA, including the Dragon Boxes, is the modern refresh of Z on Blu-ray the new high bar for the series in the USA?

To Heart, Review

Hi, this is my first review for The Fanboy Review although I’ve been writing reviews for some time now on many other places, including my personal blog.
 

 
My name’s Michael, although I’m known online as Prede. I’ll be looking at a classic from TRSI/Nozomi, “To Heart”.

Ouran High School Host Club (Blu-ray), Review

Back for yet another Blu-ray review: this time it’s Ouran High School Host Club.
 

 
Oh yes, it is finally time to review an upscaled Blu-ray.  Let’s take a look at if a non-HD Blu-ray is worth your time and money.

Strike Witches: The Complete Series, Early Look/Review

As we’ve heard for many months now, and even longer if you go back to when it was brand new and streaming, there is a war. A war against… pants.
 

 
Strike Witches is arguably the antithesis to the shows we tend to see from Funimation, with not only mass market appeal, but being relatively niche and [...]

Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone (Blu-ray), Early Review

Evangelion returns.  After a long wait (and avoiding the DVD version to wait for the Blu-ray for many people, myself included) the first of the new Evangelion films has made it to Blu-ray in the USA.
 

 
With the series hitting 15 years old, is the Rebuild of Evangelion something to look forward to?  And after quite [...]
