Girls und Panzer das Finale Part 3 [Blu-ray Review]
Barreling onto blu-ray this September from Sentai Filmworks is Part 3 of the big Girls und Panzer Finale (of a planned six films), and if this is the planned conclusion of the series, then it looks like they’re planning to go out in style! For those who haven’t been following the previous two entries of…
Girls und Panzer der Film [Blu-ray Review]
Sentai Filmworks brings Girls und Panzer der Film back into print on blu-ray after the original release of this film back in 2017, this time as just a blu-ray rather than the original blu-ray + DVD combo pack, with those scrappy girls of Ooarai Academy and their ridiculous physics-defying tanks returning for the big screen…
Gunbuster: The Movie Blu-ray Review
On September 13, 2022, Sentai Filmworks re-issued the blu-ray of Gunbuster: the Movie having previously been released back in 2016 under Sector 23’s Maiden Japan banner. While this looks to be the same disc as the previous release but with updated cover art, I still tip my hat to Sentai Filmworks in keeping a seminal…
Blu-ray Review – Mother of the Goddess Dormitory – Sentai Filmworks
Mother of the Goddess Dormitory is RIDICULOUS! I mean this in the best way possible, of course. So the series follows Koushi, who is down on his luck middle schooler who is having a hell of a year. Koushi’s house burns down, his parents disown him, and for all practical purposes he is homeless (IS…
Blu-ray Review RahXephon – Complete Collection – Sentai Filmworks
When I first started hearing about RahXephon in the early 2000’s it was unfavorable comparisons to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Every review or blurb I read was simply about how the show was a knock off of the mid-90’s mega-hit, which has for decades been my favorite anime series of all-time. For some reason this made…
Blu-ray Review – Getter Robo Arc – Sentai Filmworks
I guess for “Getter Robo Arc” a short primer is in order (though if you do end up picking up this Blu-ray you will get one as an extra feature.). So once upon a time, mecha anime wasn’t such a huge deal in the world of anime, and on top of that combining robots weren’t…
Taisho Baseball Girls [Sentai Filmworks Blu-ray] Review
Sentai Filmworks has re-issued their out-of-print blu-ray release of Taisho Baseball Girls with new cover art just in time for baseball season. Batter up! The year is 1925 and Japan is in the midst of change. Women are on the verge of asserting themselves more in a culture that has historically viewed them as subservient…
Ane Log: Complete Collection [Sentai Filmworks Blu-ray] Review
Sentai Filmworks brings to blu-ray a treatise on self-actualization via the process of transubstantiation of the mind to obtain ultimate enlightenment. Nah, I’m just kiddin’. Let’s dive into this super pervy 3-part OVA! Akira is Mayoko’s younger brother. Ever since a casual statement from Akira when they were kids that he wanted to marry Mayoko…
