Digimon Tamers Review

This more grounded take on the Digimon formula proves to be the most successful to date, with a surprising amount of depth that makes it immensely enjoyable as an adult, whilst still providing all the fun, action and adventure that appeals to kids.

When They Cry Series 1 Collection

There are scenes in When They Cry that are certainly not for the faint-hearted but if you love a good mystery, want a good horror anime, and can look past the dated animation, this is definitely worth a watch.

And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online? Review

And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online? is a show that sets out with silly comedy in mind but has the depth to both educate viewers and provide an enjoyable ride at the same time. Both fans of fantasy and slice of life series will get a lot out of the show!

Aoharu x Machinegun Review

Although it may not have been the action-filled romp I expected, Aoharu x Machinegun instead offers quality drama, focusing sharply on its small cast of well developed characters

Bakuon!! Review

Whilst the unique premise makes it stand out more than some, when you get down to it, Bakuon!! is just another paint-by-numbers comedy

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 33 Review

Naruto Shippuden returns to disc format with fifteen episodes that’s roughly half manga adaptations this time. Is that a good thing? Well, yes, obviously, though the way they’re woven into the story is like someone constantly walking into your room and pressing pause button every half an hour…

Flip Flappers Complete Collection Review

Despite its potential, Flip Flappers is a hard series to recommend. If you’re an avid Magical Girl fan and want something a bit different, this series might possibly fill the void, but it will only be fondly remembered by a small core audience in years to come.

Initial D Legend 3: Dream Review

A middling conclusion to a mediocre trilogy of films, Initial D Legend 3: Dream does little to course correct the floundering franchise.

Big Fish & Begonia Review

Big Fish and Begonia is a breakthrough film in the still-emerging Chinese animation field, but is there anything beyond the admittedly jaw-dropping visuals to make it worth your time and money?

Fate/Extra Last Encore Episodes 1 – 10 Review (Streaming)

Fate/Extra Last Encore is an unusual addition to the Fate anime line-up so far - however it's worth the time to stream if you’re a Fate fan and keep your expectations low.

Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto review

The delays in releasing this were far from perfect, but the title character is certainly perfection personified.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust Review

It’s a shame that this release lacks the Japanese track, and the Blu-ray conversion is far from perfect, but if you’ve been dying to update your old DVD copy, or have never acquainted yourself with Vampire Hunter D, there’s never been a better time.
