Napping Princess Review

Napping Princess is an entertaining, family-friendly offering that only loses its way due to an unfortunate case of trying to do too much. If you can overlook this, then you’re in for a great time.

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'.

Fairy Tail Collection 21 Review

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

Fairy Tail 19 Review

This collection is certainly not the best in Fairy Tail’s history, primarily because it’s mostly filler.

Escaflowne The Movie Review

Escaflowne the Movie uses the same characters, mecha and world as the well-loved TV series – but to tell a more direct, fantasy-by-the-numbers story. Redeemed by a wonderful soundtrack and impressive visuals, it still manages to cast a distinctive spell of its own.

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

Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle Review

Generic, lifeless and paint-by-numbers, Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle fails to stand out amongst the crowd.

Fairy Tail Collection 16 Review

Warning: Review contains episode spoilers

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.
