Sat down and read Hellsing #7 over the weekend, a manga that, I do believe, gets gradually more and more insane with each and every page. Manga ka Kohta Hirano has turned OTT into an art form.

Just finished reading the third volume of Death Note, what a page turner! Any reservations I had about the series becoming stale have been well and truly shattered; this volume throws so many twists and turns into the mix it's almost hard to keep up. And is it just me, or does any one else...

Great news, I've already gone ahead and ordered my copy, hopefully this will lead to more, tins, artboxes, goodies, etc for the fledging UK market.

Last night I ordered Hellsing GN #6, Death Note GN #3 and Noir DVD #6, thank god for brothers with deep pockets. ;)

I've been a huge Firefly fan ever since my boss at work thrust the DVDs into my hand and insisted -- quite fervently I might add -- I go home and give 'em a watch. Suffice to say, I absolutely loved it, it's just so well written, witty and intelligently put together... once again Mr. Whedon I...

Out of all the new series that have bowed this season, Ergo Proxy is, for me at least, the pick of the bunch. Plot-wise, it may not be up to snuff, but the painstaking attention to detail and summarily engrossing, almost 80's-esque, sci-fi backdrop had me staring at the screen, mouth agape for...

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure some one will ;), but I'm pretty sure Ragnarok is based on a MMORPG.

Aside from finishing up the second Death Note volume last night, I've been reading a charming little manga/manwha hybrid called, Zombie Hunter. It's a difficult series to pin down, imagine a cross between The Running Man, Battle Royale (the manga especially) and John Carpenter's The Thing and...

I'm a big Miike fan, but I don't see him pulling off a tale of Death Note's ilk, he's surprised us in the past with the likes of The Happiness of the Katakuri's and Zebraman (I kid ye not!) so who knows it could happen, but I wouldn't count on it. This kind of fraught morality tale would be...

I managed to track down a copy of the original, along with the sequel, last year. It's definitely worth picking up if you can find it, although I wouldn't dwell on the Kill Bill comparisons too much as both movies are, more or less, completely dissimilar. The music toward the end of Kill Bill --...

I'm not a huge Xmen fan, but I've been known to dabble from time to time. ;) Funnily enough my brother bought me the first Astonishing X-Men trade paper back for Christmas and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Penned by none other than Josh Whedon -- he of Buffy, Angel and Firefly/Serenity...

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that Death Note would make a fantastic Anime. It's quite a deep, complex and macabre tale that transcends it's SJ roots to deliver a truly thought provoking piece of fiction. Handled properly it could be something truly special, but I can't help thinking that the...

Indeed I do, he also participated in BBC2's anime season many, many moons ago. I remember being particularly impressed because they screened Akira completely intact with subs, which was something of a revelation for someone who had only seen the dubbed versions on sci-fi up until that point.

These kind of sales are perfect for filling all the gaps in your anime collection, not to mention appeasing the keeper of the wallet. ;) I'll be picking up Memories, Millennium Actress and Char's Counterattack to complete my Satoshi Kon and UC Gundam discographies respectively. As well as...

To be honest I think Funi were well within their rights to enforce this. Fansubbers, well supposedly, operate within a strict code -- once a series is licensed they pull it -- if Shinsen were blatantly parading subs of licensed series under Funi's nose it was only a matter of time before...

Just finished a huge Bleach catch up session, managing to blast my way through chapters 160 - 207 in a single sitting. By all accounts I should loathe Bleach, but I'm absolutely hooked, the flow of Tite's artwork has improved massively since the series' humble beginnings and the man has a gift...

Although I don't quite agree with the Nintendo bit, I have to say the Dreamcast was the badger's nadgers. I'm still kicking myself for selling mine to make room for the PS2. Soul Calibur was and still is one of my all time favourites, the second instalment was great but it simply didn't...

While I don't out and out despise dubs I've never been a fan, and on the whole they sound extremely wooden to my ears -- there are exceptions of course, Steven Jay Blum makes a great Spike Spiegel but even his performance pales in comparision to that of Kouichi Yamadera. Subs just sound so...

Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd post this here; Gamesradar have just (well yesterday) posted a 4 minute trailer for the forthcoming Bleach beat 'em-up for Nintendo's DS handheld. It looks quite promising, Treasure (the developer) are old hands when it comes to producing quality...

This morning my copy of Chrono Crusade # 5 was delivered, no sign of my Haro plush though. :(
