Fairy Tail Collection 21 Review

This penultimate Fairy Tail collection is at times both overdramatic and anticlimactic.

Genius Party & Genius Party Beyond Review

The two Genius Party films are short story anthologies full of new short animations created and/or directed by some of the best and well regarded directors and visionaries in Japan. These shorts range from grand spectacle to the relatable and human to the completely bizarre. There is no linking narrative, no one single art style, it was literally all about giving these people a platform to show off. Does it work? Well...

Castle Town Dandelion Review

Whilst there is a strong concept at the core of Castle Town Dandelion, there are so many issues that it makes it tough to recommend, despite the occasional glimpses of good

Girls und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle! Review

A nice episode, but it should have been released with the other OVA rather than on its own.

Shin Godzilla is a spectacular film, modernising the historic franchise for a brand-new audience, and bringing Godzilla back with a bang.

Bleach – Volume 71 Review

Bleach is continuing its slowly released countdown to the finale in this country with, as the title suggests, Volume 71! Giant sentient hands, energy-created sniper rifles and a long awaited Bankai reveal await inside!

Ronja the Robber’s Daughter Review

Ronja the Robber’s Daughter is not the brightest spark in Studio Ghibli's repertoire. Despite some good ideas and lovely animation, this is primarily aimed at very young kids and therefore anyone outside that demographic would most likely find this 26-episode venture hard to get through.

Interviews with Monster Girls – Volume 1 Review

Following the rise of monster girl manga, it's a welcome surprise to find Interviews with Monster Girls - a series that revels not in sexual fetishism, but in treating its characters as girls first and monsters second. A delightful slice-of-life for any fan of monster girls, or just teen life in general.

Hyouka Part 1 Review

With a lovable cast of characters, superb animation, and a real attention to detail, Hyouka comes highly recommended by me. It might sound boring on the surface but give it a try and you’ll find something truly fascinating.

GANGSTA. – Collector’s Edition Review

GANGSTA. is an anime full of crime, gore and sign language, plus some lovable prostitutes and super-powered mercenaries. It also has a rather sudden ending, but does that ending hurt the overall series?! Read on!

Neo Parasyte f Review

The best contributions in Neo Parasyte f are strange and compelling, making this unusual collection of short stories well worth reading, especially if you’re a fan of Hitoshi Iwaaki’s original work.

Arakawa Under the Bridge Vol. 1 Review

Arakawa Under the Bridge is a quirky comedy with vastly strange but likable characters. You may feel sorry for poor Kou being stuck with them but can’t help but wonder what he’s going to find next.

Durarara!! x2 Ten (Episodes 13-24) Review

If you love Durarara!! and its eccentrically colourful cast of characters, you’ll still want to watch Ten - even though it suffers from mid-trilogy syndrome and ends up diluting the impact of the main story it has to tell.

Dragon Ball Z Movie Collection Two Review

It seems Dragon Ball Z movie collections are like buses: wait for ages for one to turn up and then you get two (nearly) at once … with a third about a month later! Anyway, Movie Collection 2 contains the third and fourth movies released under the Dragon Ball Z label, “The Tree of Might” and “Lord Slug”, or the one with evil Goku and the one with evil Piccolo, if you wish…
