Cold Cobra

Having watched anime since it was airing late night on the Sci-Fi channel in the late 90s, I consider myself... someone who's watched a lot of anime, and then got hired to write reviews about them. Hooray!

Kiki’s Delivery Service Review

The Miyazaki masterpiece Kiki’s Delivery Service has arrived in UK cinemas via a new 4K remaster and the natural end to the sentence would be “does it still hold up?” but I think we all know the answer to that question…

Ragna Crimson: Collector’s Edition Review

Ragna Crimson features dragons, time travel and overly dramatic angst mixed with occasional immature humour and lots of fight scenes, things that often draw positive attention within its more action-focused genre, so how is it that it managed to fly so completely under the radar when it aired in 2023, and is it worth adding to your Blu-ray collection now?

Gungrave: Collector’s Edition Review

What to you get when you take a full-on action heavy PS2 game called “Gungrave” and adapt it into an anime? If you said “a mafia thriller centred on the relationship between two characters and what tears them apart” then you’ll be oddly correct, at least for half the series anyway…

Old Boy – Deluxe Edition Volume 1 Review

Old Boy is often remembered for the Korean film adaptation of the same name (minus the space between the two words) which won many awards and still appears on several “greatest of all time” lists, but what of the manga original that it was based on? Does it hold up as well?

Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick Volume 1 Review

Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick is one of many Dragon Quest spin-offs although, unlike its more well-known and anime-adapted cousin manga “The Adventure of Dai”, this story sticks closer to the games - but is it for better or worse?
