Getting to do the first review I know of of this disk nearly a month before it comes out anywhere in the world is just….awesome. Being probably one of the closest things anime fans will get to the must have Blu-ray, let’s take a look at how they did, including some new ground broken. (more…)

School Rumble Season 2 Part 1- Early Look
Still trying to catch up on papers from being sick (still a bit sick in fact) so no in depth review until the weekend, but some early looking for everyone.
