Turn A Gundam: Part 2 Review

While often constrained in its action and pacing by too many rules, when it has its feet planted on the Earth, Turn A Gundam delivers with a strong story and a fantastic set of characters, telling of a planet that was previously ravaged by war and its people rising up to stop it from having to face that fate once again.

Turn A Gundam: Part 1 Review

While Turn A Gundam may be the last of the classic pre-digital era Gundam series, it’s proving to be one of the best, with a strong plot, fun and diverse characters and a very Ghibli-esque tone to it all.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Film + OVAs Collector’s Edition Review

While the included series recap OVAs are a vast disappointment, A Wakening of the Trailblazer is a good take on an alien invasion story with 00’s trademark action sequences.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Part 2 Review

The second part of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is a rollercoaster ride into hell, filled with intense action sequences and tender moments with its strong, tight-knit cast of characters. While it may lack the finesse of the first part’s drama and plot development, this is overall one of the strongest entries in the Gundam franchise.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans – Part 1 Review

While this first half of Iron-Blooded Orphans does have its flaws, Mari Okada and Tatsuyuki Nagai's unique and distinct take on the Gundam franchise emerges as extremely dark, profusely political, and brutally bloody.

Eureka Seven: Hi-Evolution Anemone Review

Eureka Seven: Hi-Evolution Anemone is an interesting film. At times superbly done, others, very confusing and jarring to the new viewer. Now then, let’s PLAY FOR- oh wait, we’re not doing that in this film? Phew

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion – Complete Series Collection Review

While it does have its faults, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is an anime series that has to be experienced to be believed: a frantic and breakneck rollercoaster of a show that just takes you along for the ride.

SSSS.Gridman: The Complete Series Review

SSSS.Gridman combines Studio Trigger’s trademark style and eccentricity with the absurdness and creativity of the tokusatsu genre. It remains faithful to the original 1990s TV series with the kaiju and the action sequences, while telling an engaging and heartfelt story with a strong cast of characters.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Part 2 Review

The second half of Gundam Wing aired at the same time as Neon Genesis Evangelion. Comparing the two, Gundam Wing starts to feel inferior.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Part 2 Review

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 cements the entire series as a fantastic action show full of tense and exciting mobile suit battles, and while some areas are an improvement over its first season, such as dialogue and character development, it feels weaker in others, particularly in its plot and pacing.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Part 1 Review

While Mobile Suit Gundam 00's deep political intrigue, wooden dialogue and reflection of real world problems may make this harder to get into at first, it does offer some great mobile suit action.
