Hi Everybody, Our first episode of the year came out a while ago but I hadn't gotten round to posting it here. Lewis and I are doing a 3 part series called 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' and we're starting with The Good with reviews of Only Yesterday and Perfect Blue. You can listen...

Heavy Metal L-Gaim OVA - Episodes 1, 2 & 3: Full Metal Soldier [Final] L-Gaim is one of my favourite mecha shows and I'm itching to watch it again but I've been holding out for a Blu-ray, so I thought I'd watch the OVA again but all it's done is make me really want to watch the TV Series!!! The...

Space Emperor God Sigma - Episodes 16 - 20 Grendizer U - Episode 2 Still dull and ugly. Interesting thoughts, I watched this back in the 00's and it's something I've been meaning to re-watch for a while now. Might have to dig it out now along with New Cutie Honey.

Flying Phantom Ship This is a film I've seen several times and enjoy a lot and I was very happy that Discotek licensed it, Flying Phantom Ship is an incredibly ambitious film both creatively and visually and an interesting time capsule of how Toei were pushing animation in the 60s. The HD...

Angel Cop - Episodes 1 - 6 [Final] I last saw this on VHS in the 90's and while I remember liking it my memory of it was a little hazy. I really enjoyed watching it again, it's a solid violent action anime with a decent plot. I watched the uncensored subtitles because I've read so much about it...

Space Emperor God Sigma - Episode 1 I finally get to watch this with subtitles! I watched this raw 20 years ago and it's always surprised me that it has never been fansubbed or available in English until this official release from Discotek (which I was so delighted about). The first 10 episodes...

Sailor Victory - Episodes 1 & 2 [Final] I really like this OVA, it's one of those anime that reminds me why I like anime! It's entertaining, has great animation and I love it's 90's aesthetic. All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku TV - Episodes 1 - 5 Time to do another chunk of Nuku Nuku...

Armored Police Metal Jack - Episodes 28 - 37 [Final] After that mid series bump Metal Jack's plot became inconsistent and failed to build on the interesting plot developments from the previous run of episodes, at least it wrapped everything up properly. A very average series, it wasn't bad in...

Armored Police Metal Jack - Episodes 23 - 27 The second half of Metal Jack has so far been consistently better than the first. New Hurricane Polymar A very odd, very 90's and ultimately very average OVA based on the 70's TV show. This time I watched a fansub based on the Japanese Blu-ray and...

Armored Police Metal Jack - Episodes 16 - 22 Since the series lapsed into it's second half with episode 19 there has been a good run episodes, particularly episode 21 which was fantastic, that have really lifted the show as a whole, even if some of the character animation continues to be...

Armored Police Metal Jack - Episodes 13 - 15 Kaiju No. 8 - Episode 5

Armored Police Metal Jack - Episodes 9 - 12 There were some quite good episodes in this run. Kaiju No. 8 - Episodes 2- 4 I'm finding this a very entertaining watch, it has quite a lot going on it. Only Yesterday Perfect Blue I re-watched these for the next episode of the podcast. You...

Armored Police Metal Jack - Episodes 5 - 8 I had forgotten how hilariously cheesy (even more so today) the end credits are in Metal Jack. Mardock Scramble Parts 1 -3 [Final] Director's Cut Seeing @HWR mention Mardock Scramble a few weeks ago reminded me that I have never actually seen the...

Lord of Lords Ryuu Knight - Episodes 50 - 52 [Final] Ryuu Knight has been such an enjoyable series and a real highlight of my recent anime viewing. I have a bit of a soft spot for shows like this (Wataru, NG Knight Lamune etc.) and am a sucker for it's 90's aesthetic but Ryuu Knight genuinely...

Metallic Rouge - Episodes 8 - 13 [Final] There was so much I wanted to like about Metallic Rouge but it was such a mediocre show!! Honestly, I found it painfully dull at times and by the time the finale came round I couldn't care less about what was happening. Lord of Lords Ryu Knight -...

Metallic Rouge - Episodes 1 - 7 This was another show from last season I wanted to watch as I am normally a big fan of Studio Bones' work but I have been intrigued by some of the commentary around it. After a good start the plot really does kinda go off the rails during episodes 4 & 5. Lord of...

Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Episode 12 [Final] Bravern ended on a high and has been a breath of fresh air, what an awesome series, I do hope we get more like this from Obari. It also pleases me that my favourite mecha of the series, the Burn Bravern, was deisgned by Obari himself! Genma Taisen...

Lord of Lords Ryu Knight - Episodes 21 - 28 Still going strong. New Dream Hunter Rem - Episodes 1 (+Ep1 Special) & 2 [Final] There was lots I liked about these episodes of Rem and it closed the overall story out (even if the main antagonist died a little too easily) and it looked very nice to...

Lord of Lords Ryu Knight - Episodes 6 - 20 Ryu Knight has been very good so far and I'm getting totally sucked into it, it amazes me how little attention this show gets. Dream Hunter Rem - Episodes 1 - 3 [Final] This is something I've been meaning to watch for years, and I really enjoyed it...

Lord of Lords Ryu Knight - Episodes 1- 5 I watched the Ryu Knight OVA a few years ago (which is an alternate retelling of the TV series), the first part of was very, very good and I've sat on the TV series for years. It follows on from the success of Sunrise's previous mini mecha adventure...
