Following a bout of insomnia I finally had the chance to sit down and watch the first 9 episodes of Naruto last night. The series was strong right out of the gate, the first 5 episodes or so really set the tone and apart from the infrequent comedic misfire and the distractingly eclectic...

I've seen the very first episode raw and I have to say I quite liked it, it's not quite as out and out violent as the original - the Guyver, Gregol showdown seemed a little limp compared to the original, but the animation is fantastic, it doesn't look too far removed from the original just given...

Ichigo, probably because of his selflessness and unwavering sense of honour in the face of adversity........plus he has a massive sword, and massive swords are, y'know, cool ;)

Despite stiff competition from Fafner and the seventh instalment of Gantz I've decided to order ADV's recently released Rune Soldier Thinpak (can't resist a bargain). I've heard many a good thing about the series and I'm in need of a good comedy so fingers crossed i'll enjoy it.

Having now seen the infamous 133rd episode of Naruto I'll admit the action isn't half bad, but I still haven't been swayed to the dark side. If it proves anything it's that the budget for Naruto is a lot bigger than that of Bleach. The fight choreography was up to scratch but at times it lacked...

After an interminably long wait my SEED and Texhnolyze DVDs finally arrived. I had to grudgingly pay a customs fee for the privelige I picking up the DVDs I'd already paid for but I won't dwell on that. ;)

This is exactly what I was trying to avoid with my comments in my past few posts. As long as fans on both sides don't budge on the issue this thread is going to go around and around in circles. Naruto fans will belittle Bleach fans and vice versa, I don't mean to spread any ill will, but the...

I just think Bleach is a lot more grown up. The emotions each yarn spins are infinitely more well structured than the immediate, baroque melodramatics in Naruto. Reading Naruto I was never in any doubt where the story was going, I pegged the characters straightaway and for me they never...

There's a grudging respect between Ichigo and Rukia. Ichigo's an honourable guy, he's not suddenly regarding Rukia with puppy dog eyes he's simply returning a favour. He became a Shingami to save his family and Rukia gave him the power to do so, he owes her his own life and those of his family...

Whilst I've never been a fan of Franz Ferdinand their pop-lite posturings seem custom made for an anime theme tune. Maybe Madhouse have a soft spot for scottish bands, they also selected the Delgado's 'Light Before We Land' as the OP theme for Gunslinger Girl, on recent form it perhaps won't be...

Admittedly my exposure to our lil orange jammy clad ninja friend Naruto has been fairly limited. I did enjoy the manga, but to me it just came across as grassroots Shonen Jump fodder, neither particulary deep nor involving. Granted, the action was fairly well handled, yet I found it difficult to...

Admittedly it's a fine looking piece of software, but sacrilege cry I, what have they done to Snake! He looks eerily like Burt Reynolds.

Has to be Guts, anybody who can swing around a sword the size of an ironing board demands repsect. ;)

When importing items from overseas customs charges, and import duty can be a real pain, but as long as your orders just skim the £20 mark you'll be okay. Best thing to do is order each item and pay the postage on each disc separately, that way your order can be as pricey as you like but you...

Despite being relatively new to the Gundam franchise I thought I’d chip in and add my two-cents to this here thread. I’ve only just dipped my toe into the vast sea that is Gundam, and I have to say, I’m regretting not giving some of my viewing schedule over to the franchise earlier, as...

I'm currently addicted to Everybody's Golf for the PSP, which I've been playing for a sizeable chunk of the afternoon. In fact I played it for so long my left thumb actually begin to ache, I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it not being a sports fan, but it is a fiendishly addictive lil' game.

Today my brother received his copies of Darkstalkers and Everybody's Golf for the PSP. I've got something of a soft spot for retro 2D fighters so understandably I'm pretty taken with 'Stalkers, plus you can play as a werewolf which is indescribably cool. ;)

My new avatar is this rather dusty looking shot of Kira Yamato and his Strike Gundam from SEED.

My first manga was Ranma 1/2 which I randomly checked out of the library when I was about 8, purely because it had a surly looking panda on the front cover. ;)

Kino, I've only seen the 10 minute prequel, but in that short space of time Kino's mix of whimsy and hard hitting grit easily won me over .
