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!

Dragon Ball Super – Part 7 Review

Dragon Ball Super – Part 7 gets off to an exciting and high-impact start, before settling into a long stretch of what can only be described as filler, despite the series not being based on a manga… Is it still worth a watch though?

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 Review

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 is… not the final release of the series, despite the first volume of its sequel series being released after it. What Box 37 IS though is the final few episodes of adapted manga material, and the finale of the long… LONG Fourth Great Shinobi War story arc. How does it hold up? Well…

Castlevania – Complete Season 1 Review

What’s that? “Castlevania isn’t an anime!” Well, I’ll have you know… you’re right. But it’s being released by Anime Limited, and ticks a lot of the same boxes that our favourite subgenre does anyway, so… let’s take a look at this game adaptation’s first season!

UQ Holder! Review

MVM’s latest release, UQ Holder!, is a sequel to Negima! (a series that had quite the cult following a decade or two back) so why hasn’t UQ Holder! generated the same kind of interest? Well, manga-wise I can’t tell you, but the anime adaptation on the other hand…
