Toriko: Part Three
By this point, if you’re still reading following our coverage of FUNimation’s Toriko releases, you’ve no doubt given Toriko the five or six episodes of viewing required to really get into the series, as I recommended in my review of Part Two. And if that’s the case, you are no doubt curious whether or not [...]
Toriko: Part One
The culinary arts have been explored in anime and manga for years, but no anime or manga has ever managed to inject the same testosterone fueled madness of Dragon Ball Z or Fist of the North Star into cuisine, until Toriko. Serialized in Shonen Jump, Misutoshi Shimabukuro’s Toriko explores a world where cuisine is king and people wish to eat rare and exotic ingredients, [...]
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 [...]
A Certain Magical Index
The J. C. Staff studios anime, A Certain Magical Index, is but one of many media texts adapted from a series of light novels by Kazuma Kamachi. Kamachi’s saga of science and magic also spawned a manga, video games, an OVA, and even an upcoming film. The spinoff manga, A Certain Scientific Railgun, was previously [...]

Hellsing Ultimate: Episodes V-VIII Boxed Set
The wait for more episodes of Hellsing Ultimate to come out in the U.S. has been extremely long, but after seeing these four episodes in this latest boxed set, I can honestly say that it was worth every single second! Millennium, the secret Nazi group, Iscariot, the Vatican’s elite squad of demon hunters and the [...]
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 [...]
Hellsing Ultimate I-IV Boxed Set
Kouta Hirano’s Hellsing was one of the very few breakout manga and anime hits of the early 2000′s. After Studio Gonzo’s 13 episode series had made its mark in the states, Geneon USA decide to coproduce an OVA in 2006, that was modeled closely to the original manga. Thus, Hellsing Ultimate was born, which gave [...]
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 [...]
