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 [...]

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”.

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 [...]

Working for the Grim Reaper himself can’t be the easiest job now can it?  Which is why he founded a school to… wait… Death runs a school?  Sounds a bit iffy for my tastes.     In fact, when I first heard about this show a couple years ago, I wrote it off completely.  But [...]

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. [...]

  Back with another anime DVD to review, this time we have a Funimation show, via a Sega game… Sands of Destruction.     Sega doesn’t normally get the high marks for quality they used to long ago, so can a Sega based anime work out?

Back on a new computer with a new review.  This time we have Gonzo popping up with the story of a boy and a mech (a story no anime fan has ever heard before…)     So does Linebarrels of Iron and the story of a boy and a mech show us anything we haven’t [...]

From days of long ago…     Voltron in 3d returns…   It appears WEP will be doing the Voltron 3d DVDs themselves and selling them via the official Voltron/WEP store.  And the DVDs are… maybe being worked on right now?   I’ll update as I get more info.     Voltron © World Events [...]

Another year, another Naruto movie on DVD.  This time it’s based on Shippuden though, so everyone is a little older and a little wiser (well not really wiser…)     Shonen movies are always stuck in that loop of wanting to be ‘the big movie’ version of a show, and then having to reset to [...]
