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 [...]

Eureka Seven is back… in movie form.  Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers (long enough title I think) is a new adventure with Renton, Eureka, and the crew of the Gekko.     I’m sure all the Eureka Seven (I certainly won’t be using the full title every time in the review…) fans [...]

Time for another early review.  This time we have the Escaflowne movie, now having over half a dozen American releases.     Having had over a dozen releases, and the Ultimate Edition from day one still being the preferred version, is Escaflowne on Blu-ray a great release?  Or should it go in the pile of [...]

Lucky Star returns for one last… well not sure I’d call Lucky Star an adventure… but Lucky Star is back for one more go round (that works).     A few months after the series has ended we get about another episode and a half.  With a bit of time having passed, is Lucky Star [...]

It’s sorta odd to have a DVD in hand for a license announced just a week ago, but here Kannagi is.     After a year of oddity from Bandai in regards to quality and actually getting releases out (not to mention similar issues in the past), people are being a bit on the cautious [...]

It’s time for one of the bigger, if not the biggest early review I’ve done, Akira.  Akira is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest anime as far as us over here in the USA are often concerned with.  Over the years with more and more big name releases it may get a bit [...]

For the third time now we have a batch of DVDs that seem to work randomly. I’ve seen plenty of people complain about V.2 of Gurren Lagann (mine works), the new Zegapain, and V.1 and 2 of Code Geass (mine don’t work), and it’s been a few weeks and Bandai despite recalling some, and claiming [...]

Not much news for today either. Bandai (unsurprisingly) has the .hack//G.U. Trilogy CGI movie. Crunchyroll will be adding a number of series from ADV, Media Blasters, and Gonzo up in the following weeks and months. Kadokawa has Garei Zero, based on the Garei manga. and JAM Project showed up at the Bandai panel and gave [...]

At the moment Gurren Lagann is being released in a relatively barebones sub only format. Starting near the end of the year it will start getting a slightly different release with lots of extras and a dub directed by fanboy favorite Tony Oliver. Bandai’s official blog put up a preview of the box that will [...]
