Naruto Shippuden – Box Set 35 Review

Naruto Shippuden’s 35th two-disc release is, to the surprise of literally no-one, almost entirely filler. Unlike the previous box set though, the single canon episode on this set is extremely significant. Can you bear thirteen filler episodes for the sake of one good one?

Ghost in the Shell – Global Neural Network Review

Ghost in the Shell - Global Neural Network is a collection of four short stories based on Shiro Masamune’s all time classic, written and drawn by Western authors and artists. An interesting idea, but does it work, or is it the live action movie all over again?

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 34 Review

Does anyone remember that meme where people added “-ception” to things within things in reference to the film Inception? Well, it’s a bit out of date now, but: welcome to Fillerception, where the majority of this Box Set is a filler story within a filler story. Hooray?

Bleach – Volume 74 Review

Our shores have finally made it to the end of Bleach, but is the 74th volume of this long-running series a fitting send-off? Does it tie up the current arc well and deliver a satisfying final goodbye? The answer to some of these questions may disappoint…
