[C] – Control: The Money and Soul of Possibility
Sometime’s, when consuming tons of media in all of its forms, people get overwhelmed and sometimes forget why they were attracted to something in the first place. In this day and age, there’s so much music, comics, video games and all sorts of other things that are nerdy and geeky that not only vie for [...]
Fafner: Heaven and Earth
Six years after the original series ended, Studio Xebec decided to release a sequel to Fafner in the Azure (Sokyu no Fafner), titled Heaven and Earth. The film picks up right where the series left off and shows the residents of Tatsumiya Island, having to once again fend off against the alien invaders, called Festum. [...]
Sengoku Basara: The Last Party
As as sad as I am to admit it, but the Sengoku Basara film, subtitled The Last Party, is a missed opportunity and one of the lesser things that has come from Production I.G.. The film takes place after the events of season two and showcases a major event in Japanese history, the Battle of [...]
Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up
Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up is an anime unto itself. It is funny, quirky, and full of ’70′s pop culture. The animation style harkens back to the anime’s of the ’70′s and in this aspect is quite beautiful. The story telling is strange and full of off the wall characters, although you will find later [...]
One Piece: Season Four, Voyage Two
In the past year, I’ve managed to get through over 200 episodes of the phenomena that is One Piece. I’ve loved every single moment of it and regret not watching it sooner when many of my friends told me to. Funimation has recently begun to release the fourth season, in the same vein as their [...]

Adapted from the manga by Yuki Midorikawa, the series tells the story of Takashi Natsume, who has the ability to see yokai [...]
Strike Witches Pts. 1 and 2
Having seen a lot of anime over the past 20 years, I know for a fact that fan service is a part of anime culture. The occasional obligatory panty shot or boob jiggle has been going on for so long, its been engrained into the norms of most anime’s presentation. Strike Witches is an example [...]
Rental Magica II
Rental Magica II, being the second half of the series, is an altogether different experience. The story lines focus more on the characters. This is not to say they do not go and fight, on the other hand there may be even more fighting present but the affect it has on the story lines is [...]
Deadman Wonderland: The Complete Series
A huge part of me has to wonder that if Deadman Wonderland had a full 26 episode run, would it be even more enjoyable than it is? Created by Manglobe, a studio that has put out plenty of great shows and based off the manga by writer Jinsei Kataoka and artist Kazuma Kondou, Deadman Wonderland [...]
Maria Watches Over Us: Season One
Maria Watches Over Us is a lovely anime that shows that no matter the ups and downs, friendship will prevail in the end if it is truly meant to be. Based on Oyuki Konno’s Maria-sama ga Miteru series of light novels, Maria Watches Over Us is a drama/slice-of-life anime that chronicles the lives of several girls at [...]
