Anime Review

This first anthology of manga stories is an entertaining, varied and funny read for all RWBY fans out there. It’s clearly made with love of the series at the heart of its creation, so if you’re a fan, it’s worth picking up.

Tautly plotted and well animated - if you watched Volume 1 of Blue Exorcist Kyoto Saga, you won't want to miss Volume 2 to find out what happens next to the trainee exorcists of the True Cross Academy as they face the threat of the Impure King!

Another new gaming technology comes along, and once again Kirito is there to sort out the terrible problems it causes him and Asuna.

Batman and anime turns out to be a match made in heaven, making for a gleefully fun time for both Batman diehards and newcomers alike

Natsu and the gang attempt to stop a magical staff being used for destruction.

The prequel: a phrase that often causes more eye-rolling than excitement, followed by the sentence “that’s great and all, but does that story really need to be told?” Well, Gundam The Origin is a six-part OVA series set before, and leading straight into, the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. These first four focus on the backstory of one of the lead characters: Char Aznable, but does this need to be told, and more importantly, is it any good?

Golosseum makes its entrance in true WWE larger-than-life style. But wait - who is that I see on the cover: President Putinov!? Kodansha brings out a new martial arts manga with a difference... but is it worth your time?

Naruto Shippuden’s 32nd release is almost entirely filler, despite what the front cover wants you to think. The “New Chunin Exams arc”, as it’s often called, concludes at Episode 413, giving a whole two canon episodes! Is this filler arc worth sticking with, or are you going to buy the set for two episodes' worth of content? Let’s find out if either are going to be true…

From the creator of Yuri!!! on Ice comes the story of a man unlucky in love who finds himself the centre of four women's affections.

While still being within the period of ‘good’ Pokémon films, this set is worth every Pokémon fan having in their collections. Both new and old fans alike should find something to enjoy among the stories on offer. It’s just a shame that they’re all so similar overall.

After a promising setup with the first entry, Initial D Legend 2 Racer squanders the potential by being exceedingly average.

A high school descendant of a line of demon-fighting warriors ends up living with a succubus and a future demon lord in The Testament of Sister New Devil.

A light, delightful little series that will appeal to all cat lovers. Chi’s Sweet Adventures has the added bonus of being a manga that can safely be shared with younger readers.

Digimon Tri Chapter 4: Loss has its moments, but ultimately undermines the consequences of its predecessor.

Masaaki Yuasa barfs rainbows straight into our eyes.

Bleach Volume 72 continues to steer the manga towards its final end, an end that happened in 2016 for Japan, but (unless something gets delayed) for us here in the UK, the series will end this November. So just two volumes out from the finale, how is the story shaping up?
