There aren’t many shoujo shows available in the UK just now, and being a big fan of the genre, I was happy to see that MVM decided to bring this title out over here. Vampire Princess Miyu TV is…
Despite failing to make any real impression on me, this second volume of Yu Yu Hakusho was still as fun to watch as I expected. There is something appealing about a series as undemanding as this; …
The “Ah! My Goddess!’ comedy spin-off returns for its second instalment with more mischievous antics of goddesses Belldandy, Urd and Skuld when left to their own devices in Keiichi’s…
Thanks to his excellent past work (including the illustrious Serial Experiments Lain); anything with the name Yoshitoshi ABe attached is well worth looking into. Haibane Renmei was his pet …
Berserk is hands down my favourite manga release of recent years, an uncompromising blend of horror, action and war, this genre busting adventure has already taken Japan and the U.S by storm. …
Based on the CLAMP manga of the same name, Chobits is set in a world in which computers take the form of human-like companions called “persocoms’ that have become a commonplace sight…
Being a low-key spin-off from a cult action video game, Gungrave was largely expected (like the majority of video game adaptations) to be all gun-toting style over substance. But of course, assumptions…
I’ll admit I take a guilty pleasure from watching long-running action anime series and Yu Yu Hakusho appears to fit the bill perfectly; sporting 112 episodes, I can already taste the bitter…
With the first volume’s collision of zany humour and gun-slinging antics proving popular with this reviewer, Trigun #2 received a typically warm reception on its arrival. Yet upon viewing,…
Despite there being an intangibly inspirational quality to the look and feel of Kiddy Grade, I still find myself struggling to be seriously interested by this show. And while the slew of gratuitous…
With my levels of expectation at an all time high for this show, I approached this concluding (sixth) volume of Love Hina full of enthusiasm. I was looking for closure; a satisfying end to the on/off…
A light-hearted spin-off series to the Oh! My Goddess series and feature-length film, Adventures of Mini Goddess tells the story of what happens to goddesses Belldandy, Urd and Skuld while Keichi…
Trigun is another anime series tearing it’s way into the UK saddled with a reputation of being a “must see” show.
Catching glimpses of the stylish art direction and distinctive…
After the explosive, exciting events that concluded the last volume of Kiddy Grade, my expectations were naturally high coming into these 3 episodes- and I’m happy to say, I wasn’t…
Over the last two volumes (or 8 episodes) of this series, something has subtly clicked into place for me and I now find myself enjoying (even relishing) almost every episode of Love Hina (yes, even…
I approached this forth volume of Love Hina hesitantly- the third volume was the most disappointing yet and the story had shown no signs of improvement to suggest these episodes would be any better-…
I feel like I am constantly fighting a battle to enjoy Kiddy Grade. The strange combinations of fluffy character designs and twisting government conspiracies are enough to kill my interest, …
I approached Tenchi Forever with a renewed sense of enthusiasm after the resounding enjoyment I had with the first Tenchi Muyo! movie, Tenchi in Love.Typically, feature length movies that have…
Tenchi Muyo! was never an anime I had pegged down as being able to comfortably make the transition from the standard 23-minute episode structure to a feature-length movie, yet I stand here corrected;…
Kiddy Grade #4 is the much awaited change of pace for a series that has thus far struggled to establish any kind of memorable plotline. By achieving what the previous volume merely hinted at, this…
