Megazone 23 PART II is quite an uneven piece of work. The animation is mostly incredible, but at times isn’t entirely convincing. The story has good elements, but is told in a convoluted manner. The characters are all great, but are still fairly one-dimensional. All this doesn’t keep it...

All is forgiven...

Last night I jumped into my DeLorean, set the destination for 1985, and took a colourful, sexual, violent, gory, and action-packed trip into the first installment of MEGAZONE 23 (that’s two-three, not twenty-three.) For those not in the know, Megazone 23 is the title that brought the OVA format...

What’s notable is how they use a variation on ADTRW’s  “kick reason to the curb” line on the back. Sadly, “Reject common sense to make the impossible possible” is used in the show proper, but it’s good to see that Bandai has some kind of idea about the pulse...

Previously… Second three! Strike Witches: My first reaction was, “Sky Girls, except better.” The characters are cuter, the setting is nicer and the fanservice is plentiful.

Original Post Before anyone says anything, yes, his neck is supposed be messed up like that. It makes that last panel all the more frightening. Maybe I should have added some CRACK CRACK sound effects. Wanted to get this one out quick while the news was still kind of...

First three! Sekirei: This is a boob show, but it has a lot of charm and very good animation for some reason. This is Seven Arcs, right? I hope the rest of the episodes look this good, because thus far the production values and boob animation are this one’s...

Time to review three short series that all ended recently! Kure-nai: I wanted the Hollywood ending. That said, the show did do well to stick true to its sense of realism right down the end, but they could have at least indulged us a bit, right? I guess they...

Just got a bent up March 2008 issue of Megami from J-List… I got this issue for the poster of Kokonoe covered in chocolate, but me being at home, I couldn’t really put that up. Luckily, on the other side is that hot SZS pic....
