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 [...]

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 [...]

Although not officially announced by Bandai as part of the announcement, during an interview that was streamed over the net Tony Oliver commented that he would be directing the dub of the film.   This confirms the movie will likely use the same cast (since he was the director for the show also and has [...]

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 [...]

Got a stack of early news that may interest people.  Let’s start with the least interesting stuff first. Dragonball Z TV Blu-rays are being worked on (or at least in the higher side of planning stages, I’m not 100% sure on that).  Beyond that, I know nothing (minus a hint of maybe a pack in [...]

This is the story of a man… After a quicky ‘lets throw this out there’ release earlier in the year, Gurren Lagann finally gets it’s ‘real’ release. Let’s take a look at what’s what in this box. (as always, spoiler free)
