Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: Arrow of the Orion Review

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: Arrow of the Orion is a memorable addition to the franchise. While there are some inconsistencies with where it’s set in the anime’s timeline, these are easily forgiven, given they don’t impact on the viewing experience all that much. If you’re a fan of the series then this is a must-own!

Tokyo Godfathers Review

Tokyo Godfathers captures the true spirit of Christmas by presenting a tale of three homeless folk finding hope and redemption amidst a madcap adventure, yet retains the darker themes that director Satoshi Kon is known for, allowing this to appeal to both fans and newcomers to his work.

Pokémon Movie: Diamond & Pearl Collection Review

While still being within the period of ‘good’ Pokémon films, this set is worth every Pokémon fan having in their collections. Both new and old fans alike should find something to enjoy among the stories on offer. It’s just a shame that they’re all so similar overall.
