Don't forget everyone, if you're not sure on your ability, give it a go anyway, you may surprise yourself! I know I got this job by sending in a sample review on a whim when I saw a post just like this one, sure I wouldn't actually get it... and to be fair to myself, I wasn't that good to start...

I mean what we knew about the film before hand was that it will feature the original Super Saiyan and look deep into the race's past, so if that's still true and Broly and his unique (although I guess as it's set after the Universe Survival arc it's the second time the lead cast have seen it)...

Ha, it's bizarre. The big Dragon Ball Super film is a fourth Broly film, and better yet, a remake / reboot of the original film, just with Toriyama "changing some things around and making it more interesting". I'll be watching as soon as possible, of course, but I can't say I'm not disappointed...

Big Fish and Begonia is a breakthrough film in the still-emerging Chinese animation field, but is there anything beyond the admittedly jaw-dropping visuals to make it worth your time and money? Continue reading...

Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers starts off with a straightforward “chosen heroes gather to defeat the big evil” plot, but actually spends most of its 12 episode run on a “whodunnit?” plotline, and frankly ended up all the better for it. Let’s see why… without spoiling too much! Continue reading...

Wow, I still have my super-wide double VHS of Angel Cop in a draw somewhere, despite no longer having the means to play it. I'd buy it if it comes out here for nostalgia's sake, but I'm not going to import it, as it's not actually... well, very good, really...

Great news! It's taken so long I assumed the anime would end with Part 4, although from what I hear from JoJo fans this part isn't the best, I'm still looking forward to more zany Stand-based antics.

Surely it should be B: The Middle, to be followed by series 3 B: The End...

I'd write something about how shallow J-Stars Victory VS. was and how this looks very similar, but... I played through Victory VS.'s long story mode three times, so... Obviously the draw of having these characters interact and fight supersedes any need for actual good gameplay for me. In other...

The second half of My Hero Academia’s second season is packed with examples as to why the show has gotten so popular around the world. Great characters, storytelling and animation make for a series, and indeed a release, that you won’t want to miss! Continue reading...

Dragon Ball Super finally reaches brand new material with “Part 3”, and with it some new characters and settings, but a familiar plot… That’s right: it’s tournament time! (well more “five on five elimination match time!” really…) Continue reading...

Not much for me today, but I was happy with a lot of Friday's stuff. Cowboy Bebop will forever be a favourite of mine, but I'm not a expensive collectors edition guy, so since I have the series and film on blu-ray already, I doubt I'll be tempted to rebuy...

Well I'm happy with the news, especially as my copies of the second half of 00 and the movie are from the US, and I no longer have a region free DVD player (or the will to connect my PC to my TV...) Also more matching sets! This should answer two questions: What Anime Limited will do with...

Very pleased to see Gundam 00. Took me by surprise, I thought they might jump straight to Wing, rather than jump even further still. Either way, this will finally add another non-white-with-grey-specs Gundam release on my blu-ray shelf!

I have also received the notice that another box of Gundam goodness is on the way... admittedly I may be reviewing it for this site and therefore may have already started watching it, but still! Looking forward to putting it on the shelf with the rest :)

It's about time they got back to One Piece, not that I can imagine ever catching up with the series, but the collections are fun to stick on for a few weeks.

Good catch, I ordered the two Arslan sets. Crazy combined prize for so much extra, admittedly needless, stuff.

Yeah I have to say on the Gundam Origin side of things, I'll just have the "Gundam Collection" box spine facing on my shelf, nicely lining up with the others, weird grey specs and all!

annnd pre-ordered. Still cheaper than it will end up anywhere else online for a while... plus I want to make sure I get the thing, I still have shelf-related nightmares about missing the box for the original series.... (but not enough to pay a bunch of money for the few boxed versions still...

Can't tell you how long I've waited for a Hathaway's Flash adaptation. They'll have to rejig a few things to make it fit in the anime UC timeline, but that's easily done. Fingers crossed it doesn't fall through in the mean time, I want to see a properly animated Gundam Xi and Penelope at last!
