OK, so a few years back on the older web 1.0’ish version of EuroCultAV we reviewed To Love Ru- The Complete Collection. Our assessment of the time was that the first 2 seasons of To Love Ru (this Blu-ray set is the 2nd season) were a bit too on the campy and episodic , and…
Blu-ray Review – Kandagawa Jet Girls – Sentai Filmworks
Kandagawa Jet Girls is a multimedia project that ties together this 12 episode anime series with an OVA and PS4 racing game. The series premise is quite simple Rin has long wanted to follow in her late Mother’s footsteps. Those footsteps, however, would lead her to be a racer in the sport of Kandagawa Jet…
Blu-ray Review – Pet – Sentai Filmworks
Let me just start by saying that Pet is a show you need to watch front to back. In fact I’m sure this is a show that will reward multiple viewings, and I certainly hope picks up viewers as time goes by. The show is a deeply psychological affair that follows a group of people…
Blu-ray Review – Nosferatu in Venice – Severin Films
Nosferatu in Venice is a Klaus Kinski-starring pseudo sequel to the classic Nosferatu directed by Werner Herzog and starring Kinski. But aside from sharing Nosferatu in the title, the vampire aspect, and Kinsky nothing else relates, And I am totally cool with that. Eurohorror pseudo sequels, are never not interesting to me, and Nosferatu in…
UHD Review – Perdita Durango/Day of the Beast
Every since I saw Accione Mutante as a teenager I was a fan of Alex De La Iglesia. The problem has always been that his film’s have always been hard to come by. I saw Day of the Beast when I managed to oddly find a copy at a Blockbuster I worked at (which also…
Blu-ray Review – Forgotten Gialli Vol. 3 (Vinegar Syndrome)
Vinegar Syndrome’s Forgotten Gialli box sets are some of the most exciting releases to hit the market in some time. I will admit to being an obvious mark for them running a site called EuroCultAV, but nonetheless, I anticipate each one highly, and Volume 3 was no different. The third box contained what I’ll say…
UHD Review – SexWorld – Vinegar Syndrome
Although 1978’s Sex World is a porno variation on the premise of Westworld, it’s not exactly a parody. The movie makes explicit what the earlier, PG-rated movie heavily implied – that, if a futuristic fantasy vacation like the one in the film existed, its main appeal would be for tourists to live out their wildest…
Blu-ray Review – Rick and Morty – Complete Seasons 1-5
I feel like Rick and Morty at this point really needs zero introduction. The animated smash-terpiece created by Gravity Falls Justin Roiland and Community’s Dan Harmon has just recently finished it’s 5h season to its usual critical acclaim, and apparently no breakout fights at fast food restaurants in the process. The show’s premise is simple….
Tabletop Review – Mork Borg – Free League
I have been playing tabletop RPG’s since the 1990’s when I got a box set of the “Classic Dungeons & Dragons” game at a local gaming shop, and it changed my life. Around the same time I found a love of heavy metal music that has never died. In my head it seems like games…
Blu-ray Review – Ahiru no Sora
I’ll admit I am not really a sports-guy, but once in a while I like to dip my proverbial toe into sports cinema, or anime. At the very least it’s usually good for a story that watches a group of underdogs taking on the world, and usually succeeding against great odds. Ahiru no Sora is…
