Eden of the East… a series that shows love of American film and hope for the future of Japan… and a guy who has misplaced his pants.     A 2009 series that is highly respected for many things, will it be as respected now that it has jumped across the Pacific?

  After looking at my review of Brotherhood on Blu-ray, some people may be wondering… why doesn’t the Blu-ray look pristine?  After all, it is a brand new series, shouldn’t it look glorious in 1080p on Blu-ray?  Funi even gave it the first ‘Native HD’ tag they’ve ever labeled with.  Is it really an upscale [...]

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 [...]

After doing the review of Dragon Ball Z Kai on Blu-ray I decided to check the DVD.  Very quickly I noticed a difference in colors in the remastered Z footage.  When I showed some screen shots to a friend to find out about the Japanese Kai Blu-ray, he actually ran it over right then so [...]

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 [...]

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?  [...]

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 [...]

Dragon Ball Kai was finally announced by Funi as Dragon Ball Z Kai.     Here’s a bit of extra info I’ve had on hand for awhile about the release.   The current plan is to have the first DVD and BD boxes in May.   The BD releases will have a five dollar premium. [...]

Gone for a decade, but definitely not forgotten, the Red Dwarf crew return.     After a decade away, is one of Britian’s premier sitcoms as strong as ever, or in this case, does time erode all things? Let’s go “Back to Earth” to find out. (And yes, I’m aware how terrible that line is.)
