This week we’ve got the last of the Tenchi Muyo movies. Does the series come to an end on a good note, or does it leave us with a bad taste in our mouths? Continue reading →

Weekend Review – Tenchi Muyo: Daughter of Darkness
This weekend we have a review of the second Tenchi Muyo – this one a shorter installment (an hour long film that was released as a double feature with The Slayers: The Movie). This installment also takes the franchise to it’s third continuity. How well does this version of the franchise hold up? Continue reading →

Anime Review – Tenchi Muyo! In Love
This week we’ve got a review of one of the Tenchi Muyo spin-off movies. Can the wacky hyjinks of Ryoko, Ayeka & company translate to the big screen – or will they fall on their face like Mihoshi is wont to do. Continue reading →

Gurren Lagann is on Hulu
So, previously I’ve reviewed Gurren Lagann. Prior to my review, and to a certain extent, after my review (they’re repeating it) it was also aired on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Ani-Mondays block.

EDIT: So, apparently WordPress isn’t playing well with embedding video from Hulu, so I’m putting a direct link instead.

Manga Review – Tokyo Babylon Vol. 1
I’m continuing with the CLAMP reviews with the first volume of Tokyo Babylon vol. 1. Why, yes, I am reading a whole bunch of manga at once. That said, being that this series ties in heavily to their later series, X/1999, I might as well read it before I continue to X. So, does this series lay the ground work for greater things to come?

Manga Review – RG Veda Vol. 1
I previously reviewed the first volume of CLAMP’s universe-jumping series Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. As the series is going to be putting out a lot of references to other CLAMP works, I’ve decided to get caught up on some of CLAMP’s old stuff.

So, what better place to begin than at the beginning – CLAMP’s first original work, R.G. Veda. For the first volume of a first series, how does it hold up? Continue reading →
