  • Digimon Adventure tri. Part 3 PV 2

    Thought I’d go ahead and add an embed of the trailer for Digimon Adventure tri. part 3 since Toei’s version isn’t currently available everywhere. (Yay for copy pasted descriptions!)

    Enjoy and come visit us at With the Will to discuss Digimon.

  • Guilty Crown (Blu-ray), Early Review

    Guilty Crown (Blu-ray), Early Review

    Fuji TV’s noitaminA block has been very good to us animation fans in recent years, having provided us with more than a few interesting shows (including Eden of the East, a personal favorite of mine.)

    GuiltyCrown-Cover

    With Funimation’s upcoming release of Guilty Crown, a recent noitaminA series, do we have another interesting series from the respected and venerable animation block worth your time and money? (more…)

  • One Image Review- Fox Marvel Movies Are On Sale

    The various Marvel films that Fox has made are on sale on Blu-ray for $60. We here at the Fanboy Review decided we needed to review these films for our audience so they could make an educated decision on if they should spend their cash. Unfortunately we just didn’t have the time. So instead, a short review of each film on one image.

  • Who Is the Man of Steel?

    Who Is the Man of Steel?

    Wasn’t sure what the first article on the new FBR would be. I figured an anime review (and in fact I was in the middle of working on one.) But then I saw an image in my head and knew what it had to be. That image is right above, from Superman vs. The Elite

    After all the discussion about Man of Steel (which to be honest, I still haven’t seen… Just no drive to want to see) more and more people seem to be having a discussion comic fans have rolled around and had hundreds of times (who am I kidding, thousands, millions, it never ends.) Is Superman relevant in our darker world? Is he just a boy scout no one can relate to anymore? Does Superman need to be gritty? (more…)

  • Welcome to Fanboy Review 2.0

    Welcome to Fanboy Review 2.0

    We’ve been gone awhile (combination of being busy and wanting to improve the site before relaunching it.)

    We hope you’ll give the new FBR a chance. We’ve changed the theme to hopefully be cleaner and a bit easier to navigate, along with having a nice ‘Features’ area that should show our newest and most important articles and reviews.

    We’ve switched comments over to Disqus and you can post as guests if you want.

    As far as staff goes, I’ll be here as always writing and going over materials with everyone else. Justin is back doing our web work again, and hopefully will join in writing when he can. Alex is back to helping with editing. We’ve also added Logan, a helpful guy with a great love for mecha to write reviews. I’m talking to a few other people who hopefully will show up before to long.

    We are still cleaning up, but since everything was basically done decided it was time to launch. The first article of the new FBR should be up within an hour or two, and we are also working on a small stack of anime reviews for upcoming products and a few older releases.

    If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know.

  • Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker (Blu-ray/DVD), Early Review

    Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker (Blu-ray/DVD), Early Review

    The Fanboy Review is back with its second ever joint review! Join Alex and me as we take an early look at the first animated adaptation of the popular Dragon Age franchise.

     

     

    Co-produced by EA and Funimation Entertainment, Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker made its debut in Japanese cinemas back in February and will be hitting US shelves on May 29.  This is the first bit of animation that is a Funimation ‘original’ (rather than a licensed film/show.) How does their first original production hold up? (more…)

  • Summer Wars (DVD), Review

    Funimation comes out swinging with a big film release, arguably the biggest film they’ve released since the first Evangelion Rebuild film (and based on who you ask, possibly bigger.)
     

     
    A big push is being given to Summer Wars: theatrical screenings, larger than normal advertising, even an attempt to get it nominated for an Academy Award.  Is all the extra push worth it?
     
    As a fun little experiment, Alex and I are reviewing this film together, since we both had things we wanted to say about it.

  • Our Home’s Fox Deity: Volume One- Premium Edition, Review

    NIS America is back with a new show doods!
     

     
    After a few early missteps that NISA worked quickly to fix does a second attempt from NISA come out golden… doods? (It’s my second NISA review, I feel obligated to toss in a few doods at the beginning.  You read enough NISA Twitter posts and press releases and you will do it also.   Just passing it along to help NISA with their diabolical plot to spread the word dood around.)
