Tenchi Muyo: Movie Collection
After plowing through just about everything else Tenchi Muyo, the time has finally come to watch the films in the series. Following the Tenchi Universe TV series, director Hiroshi Negishi gets things started with 1996′s Tenchi Muyo In Love. The second film, The Daughter of Darkness, was released as part of a double feature, along [...]
Blood-C: The Complete Series
Uncompromising, subversive and incredibly violent are but a few of the many words that can describe Blood-C. Made in a collaboration between Production I.G. and CLAMP, this sort-of spin off of the original movie made in 2000, Blood: The Last Vampire, is one the most riveting horror anime TV shows of recent years and certainly [...]
Shakugan no Shana: The Movie
Shakugan no Shana: The Movie is interesting in that it is not a follow-up to the series in any way, nor does it fit seamlessly into the existing narrative of the series. If anything, it could be viewed as a summation of the events depicted in the first story arc in which Shana and Yuji [...]
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: The Complete Series Blu-ray
Sure, FUNimation’s three-disc DVD release of Panty & Stocking with Garter Belt boasted a solid visual presentation and surprisingly dynamic audio… for a DVD. But as thankful as we all were for the opportunity to pick up the series on home video in any format, much less in a release of this caliber, we all [...]

This 26-episode anime from Studio Deen, the same company that brought you Fruits Basketand Junjo Romantica, is now available in two, Premium Edition Blu-ray sets from NIS America. Adapted from a popular series of Japanese “visual novels” (which, for transparency’s sake, I have not played/read), Umineko: When They Cry (2009) begins with the murder of virtually [...]
One Piece: Season Four-Voyage Three
Having gone and reviewed over 200 episodes of One Piece, it still astounds me that this series, while being a straight forward Shonen title, manages to still captivate and deliver some of the most emotional punches than any other series I’ve ever seen. Major stakes get raised and the adventure even more eventful, with the [...]
Steins;Gate Part Two
I adored what I got out of the first 12 episodes contained in the first part of Steins;Gate, but I have to honestly say that the final 13 within Part Two is a somewhat of a let down. After the events that take place that lead to the death of a Future Gadget Lab member, [...]
Mass Effect-Paragon Lost
Co-Productions have had some good moments and bad one’s pertaining to anime. I loved The Animatrix a lot more than the last two films in the trilogy and Batman: Gotham Knight has some pretty good entries in its anthology. So when word got out about there being a Co-Production between BioWare and Funimation, concerning the Mass [...]
