Infinite Ryvius is a top-notch psychological drama from Sunrise that aired in 1999. Bandai first put it out on DVD in North America in 2003, and it’s really worth a look.     Infinite Ryvius, on its surface, looks like the kind of generic mecha/sci-fi series that Bandai often releases. It seems like it has [...]

What is Fractale? To tell you the truth, I’m still figuring that out myself…     One of the latest additions to FUNimation’s incredibly robust online streaming repertoire, Fractale is being simulcast every Thursday on Hulu at 11:45 am (EST), one hour after the episodes premiere on Fuji TV in Japan…at least, that’s the plan.  [...]

We’ve been meaning to have me write something for The Fanboy Review for a while—around a year, in fact—so here I am! This is my first review around here, and I’m quite happy with the show the boss decided on. So let’s get down to it and take a look at the latest release of [...]

As a new reviewer for the site, I just wanted to quickly introduce myself to readers. My name is Jonathan R.

Time for a new contest.     This time the contest is for “The Klutz Book of Animation”, which teaches you how to make stop motion animation, and also includes software to help, along with some clay for molding characters.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya… one of the more popular series of recent memory.  After three years the series returns with a new season.     After having such a well received first season that blew quite a few people away can season two possibly stand up to its predecessor? Does it need to? Or [...]

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 [...]
