Urusei Yatsura (1981) - Episodes 1 & 2 I've seen the first handful of UY episodes before a loooong time ago on a VHS fansub and was big fan right from the outset. I missed out on the AnimEigo DVDs back in the day so I was super excited when Discotek released the TV series on Blu-ray. I'm going...

Mobile Suit Gundam - Episodes 31 - 43 [Final] I really enjoyed watching MSG again, and as stated previously it's better than I remembered being. I think because I love the movie trilogy so much, and for me it is the definitive telling of this story, and as I've seen it several times since I...

All You Need Is Kill I went to see this on Saturday and actually quite enjoyed it (leaning towards 8/10 as a rating), possibly more than others who have commented on it here. I read the light novel when the Tom Cruise movie came out (I really liked that film too) and I thought this was a good...

Mobile Suit Gundam - Episodes 12 - 20 It was interesting to watch the infamous Cucuruz Doan's Island episode within the overall flow of the story. I had seen it before and it is full of awful, off-model animation (especially the mobile suits) and watching again now I can see what it was trying...

Mobile Suit Gundam - Episodes 4 - 11 I am really enjoying watching MSG again, it has a great story and such well written characters and I love the constant background feeling of tension that it maintains. I'll admit I had forgotten just how wonky some of the animation is in a few of these...

Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 21 - 25 [Final] There is a bit of a sudden tonal shift in the last few episodes of Galatt, episode 23 was a very serious episode with no gags and then it was a bit of a mix and episodes 24 & 25 had old school mecha people getting vapourised in battle kicks in...

Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 16 - 20 Dancouga Nova - Episodes 6 - 12 [Final] Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Episodes 1 - 7 [Final] Looking at some Gunpla the other week gave me an urge to rewatch Unicorn. I've seen the OVA before and I last watched Unicorn as the RE:0096 TV adaptation...

Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 5 - 15 Still silly but episodes 12 & 13 were genuinely very very funny :) Dancouga Nova - Episodes 1 - 5 Re-watching this for review on the mecha podcast. Vampire Hunter D Another watch of this classic as Lewis and I reviewed it on the Collateral Cinema...

Super Beast Machine God Dancouga: Blazing Epilogue - Episodes 1 - 4 [Final] A re-watch ahead of a review on the mecha podcast. Iria - Zeiram The Animation - Episodes 1 - 6 [Final] This is such a good OVA!!! I've seen Iria a few times before but the last time I watched it was years and years...

Revolutionary Girl Utena - Episodes 27 - 39 [Final] Utena lives up to its reputation and I'm happy to to have finally watched it. The tension and interplay, overlaid with detail and nuance, between characters is very good with some clever visuals that ramp up the tension, along some nice...

Hi Everybody, Lewis and I will be recording our next episode tomorrow. We'll be doing a Yoshikazu Yasuhiko special with reviews of The Poem of Wind and Trees and Venus Wars. Reply here with any questions or comments you have for us. Many thanks, Ian

Revolutionary Girl Utena - Episodes 24 - 26 Ranma 1/2 (2024) - Episode 22 The Poem of Wind and Trees Venus Wars I re-watched these last two for the next episode of the podcast.

Revolutionary Girl Utena - Episodes 16 - 23 I am finding Utena to be a very engaging show, there is a lot of constant repetition in it but the way that repetition is integrated with the characters stories in each episode, along with a good level intensity packed in for good measure and...
