While often constrained in its action and pacing by too many rules, when it has its feet planted on the Earth, Turn A Gundam delivers with a strong story and a fantastic set of characters, telling of a planet that was previously ravaged by war and its people rising up to stop it from having to...

You shouldn't have to worry about that, it's based on the country of origin I think. I had a DHL parcel the other week mistakenly cross the pond to Republic of Ireland and there was no extra charges.

While Turn A Gundam may be the last of the classic pre-digital era Gundam series, it’s proving to be one of the best, with a strong plot, fun and diverse characters and a very Ghibli-esque tone to it all. Continue reading...

DVDs are still around as they still sell to the more casual market (i.e. probably not the people who are members of this here forum). Think parents buying them for their kids on a trip to the supermarket, or are in town and pop into HMV; or teenagers on a very limited budget. With Manga...

While it's nothing special, Z/X Code Reunion is a fun but whimsical schoolgirl sci-fi action series, where being familiar with the original card game it's based on doesn't matter too much. Continue reading...

While it does have a high barrier to entry, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn stands as the pinnacle of the Gundam franchise, bringing the characters and battles of the Universal Century to life like never before. Continue reading...

She co-directed with Tatsuya Ishihara. She is however the director of Liz & The Blue Bird

While there are good things to take away from this first half of Fairy Gone, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, throwing in too many plot threads and ideas, becoming unfocused and confusing. Continue reading...

While the included series recap OVAs are a vast disappointment, A Wakening of the Trailblazer is a good take on an alien invasion story with 00’s trademark action sequences. Continue reading...

Already got the Japanese release of NT so one I probably won't be picking up.
