Dragon Ball Super – Episodes 100 – 105 Review

As Dragon Ball Super reaches triple digits the “Universe Survival Arc” pushes forward into relentless action as the 80-person, 8-universe battle royal continues. One universe has already been completely erased from existence by virtue of their defeat, and the seven that remain are fully aware of what results in failure. It’s a very odd scenario, even for Dragon Ball, but amazingly it manages to get even weirder with some of the new characters…

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Season 1 (Episodes 1-49) Review

Brash and brightly coloured, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal – in spite of its Saturday morning kids’ show vibe in this 4Kids dubbed version – is decent entertainment and makes a good entry show into anime.

Tokyo Ghoul Jack & Pinto OVAs Review

Tokyo Ghoul fans who have loved the world building and characters will have little reason not to pick this up; the stories are short but fun distractions that complement the series nicely.

A Certain Scientific Railgun S Review

Railgun's humour is still better that that of Index, but also there is some added drama to the mix.

Snow White with the Red Hair Part 2 Review

Having finished Snow White with the Red Hair, I still think it’s a very good shojo series. It doesn’t go out of its way to change what we’ve come to expect from shojo, but instead works to be one of the best shows in the genre.

It’s a fairly quick turnaround in the UK for the release of the second series of Fairy Tail, although as the title of the collection makes clear, it is just a continuation of what was going on before.
