Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You DVD Review

Overall, Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You is a real treat for fans of the series. While there are certainly issues that bring it down somewhat, these can be overlooked. Undoubtedly this is one of the best Pokémon movies in quite some time.

Dragon Ball Z – Movie Collection Five Review

The Legendary Super Saiyan known as Broly is, undoubtedly, the most Marmite character in the Dragon Ball franchise. The phrase “you either love him or hate him” may as well be made for him, as seemingly most fans land on one side or the other, but does the truth lie somewhere in the middle? Let’s take a look at Manga Entertainment’s 5th movie collection, bringing together all three of Broly’s movies, and see, shall we?

Kakegurui Episodes 1 – 12 Review (Streaming)

Kakegurui is completely shameless in its fanservice, unsubtle handling of the negative affects of gambling, and utterly unapologetic about its ruthlessly psychotic characters and its ridiculous premise - and that’s exactly why the series is so enjoyable

Orange: Future Review

Orange: Future proves itself to be a worthy continuation of the original series. Filled with the same attention to detail and sensitive approach to difficult topics, this volume is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of Orange.

Grimgar: Ashes & Illusions Collector’s Edition Review

Overall Grimgar: Ashes &Illusions might seem like just another entry in an overcrowded genre but thanks to some quality writing and love from A-1 Pictures, it stands out as one of the best. Even if you’re feeling burnt out on isekai titles, I’d strongly recommend that you give Grimgar a chance.

Dragon Ball Super Season One – Part 2 Review

Dragon Ball Super’s second TV release features the final episode of the Battle of Gods arc before quickly shifting over to a retelling of the Resurrection F film… so, the series still doesn’t offer much new to fans who already own the Blu-rays of the latest DBZ films, but there are some differences between the two versions of Frieza’s return…

Dragon Ball Super – Volume 2 Review

Just in case you thought there wouldn’t be enough Dragon Ball coverage here at Anime UK News, we have a slightly belated look at the second volume of the Dragon Ball Super manga, released here in the UK on the 28th of December (and therefore taking a long time to reach my house through holiday post…) Two universes collide in a tournament with… actually no real stakes, this time…

Dragon Ball Z Movie Collection Four Review

DBZ Movie Collection 4, awkwardly collecting Movies 7 and 9 (leaving 8 to be paired with the other two Broly movies… next month!), is full of good action and loosely defined villains, as well as Androids and … very on-the-nose Space Pirates! Who doesn’t want to watch those?!

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, Part 2 Review

Despite some exciting sequences, much of the second part of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ drags as much as the first.

Graineliers Volume 1 Review

The combination of beguilingly attractive art and an intriguing story concept in Rihito Takarai's 'Graineliers' will appeal to readers in search of something truly 'different'.

Sword of the Stranger Collector’s Edition Review

Overall Sword of the Stranger is a bit of a mixed bag. The story, animation and cast are a strong point - if you can overlook the predictable path of the plot - but the music really lets things down. This isn’t a must-watch for anyone but could still be a hidden gem for BONES.

Ajin: Demi-Human Season 1 Review

Ajin: Demi Human deals with many gruesome themes with excellently thought-out mythology and unique animation, but the largely dour and gloomy cast with little variety will be the deal breaker for most.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Volume 1 Review

The first volume of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc is a delightful success; from the lovely art and the characters to the new story’s beginnings – all of it feels like a genuine continuation that CLAMP wanted and felt creatively compelled to do. If you’re a CLAMP fan, do not hesitate to pick up this volume.
