When I was a teenager I would buy every issue of Fangoria I could get my hands on. In almost every issue throughout the 90’s there were ads for Chaos! Comics and their characters like Purgatori, Chastity, Evil Ernie, and of course, Lady Death! Being a horror-fanboy-metalhead, I ended up eating Chaos’ unique brand of…
Blu-ray Review – Arifureta : From Commonplace to World’s Strongest (Funimation)
I’m beginning to feel like I am trapped in a world of Xerox copies of Overlord. Every anime I watch people are getting trapped in fantasy worlds or video games, and most fight their way out, or save humanity. Some of these are good. Some of these are watchable, and I’m sort of wondering what…
Blu-ray Review – Dr. Stone (Funimation)
OK, so sometimes I’ll get a series in the mail with no expectations pop it in and just watch. I like these, because honestly it offers some amount of surprise, sometimes good, sometimes bad. In the case of Dr. Stone I hadn’t even heard of the show, and by the end of Season 1’s first…
Blu-ray Review – Armored Trooper VOTOMS – Complete Collection – Maiden Japan
Admittedly, it has been a long year, so my memory has been a bit worse than usual in regards to all the releases that have come across my desk. But if you were to ask me what my favorite anime release of 2020 was, I’d have to say this SD on Blu-ray release of Armored…
Blu-ray Review Demon Lord, Retry! (Funimation)
I’m not sure if this genre was spurred on by the success of Overlord, but it seems as if the last few years, we have seen an abundance of “isekai” anime. Basically, we see an average person transported into a fantasy world, mostly a video game one as in Overlord. Which is what we have…
Blu-ray Review – Astra – Lost in Space (Funimation)
Astra – Lost in Space follows a group of students from Caird High School. They live in a future world where students go on fields trips to other planets like we would go on trips to theme parks or museums. This is this class’ first trip to space, and as such they are largely inexperienced….
Blu-ray Review – Beautiful Bones Sakurako’s Investigation (Sentai Filmworks)
OK, I love a nice atmospheric mystery series and Sentai Filmworks have just released one in the form of Beautiful Bones: Sakurako’s Investigations based on the light novel series by Shiori Ota. The series is 12 episodes long, and is compromised of a series of individual short mystery stories, and also a series of 2-parters….
Blu-ray Review – Weathering With You (Shout! Factory/G Kids)
When I saw Your Name about 4 years ago it introduced me to the cinema of Makoto Shinkai. The experience blew my mind at the time, and I had gone back to see some of his earlier work to continue the cinematic journey that I had begun with Your Name, and found myself enjoying each…
Blu-ray Review – Why The Hell Are You Here, Teacher?
Some of my favorite director’s (non-anime) are cats like Jess Franco, Walerian Borowczyk, Jean Rollin, so admittedly I like sleazy stuff. I don’t mean like directly hardcore porn stuff, because that’s almost too easy, like shooting fish in a barrel, but stuff that just carries a cool sleazy vibe to it. So when I saw…
Blu-ray Review – Run With the Wind – Complete Collection (Sentai Filmworks)
I am not athletic by nature, and to double down a bit I really really hate sports. Watching them, playing them, the whole she-bang. Running has always been a task for me, I remember in middle school and high school in gym classes we’d have to run “the mile”, and my friends and I would…
