It has been a bit hectic here at the Comi Girl offices, so much so that I haven’t had time to read Genecy which was sent to us for review by Gerald Cooper from InVision Comics. Thankfully the Cameraman stepped in and took over the reviewing responsibilities on this one. Below is a blurb from [...]
DC has been really cryptic with FlashPoint. All they are really saying is that everything we know will change in a flash, and that Geoff Johns is writing it… The Source has been hinting at, and announcing tie-in books for weeks now, but I didn’t realize the enormity of it until I was flipping through [...]
Marvel and Kotobukiya are teaming up for another Black Widow Bishoujo statue. This time she features a stand that includes a brick wall and Dare Devil’s mask.

From ‘Astro Fighter Sunred’ comes a set of figures of the cute little animals that are a part of the evil organization Florsheim’s Kawasaki Branch – The Animal Soldiers.

I can’t think of a better genre of music to go hand in hand with Halloween than Metal music. It’s not a genre of music that I ever got into, although growing up I do remember songs from Def Leppard’s album Hysteria in the 80’s, which is probably the closest I’ve ever come to embracing [...]
April 1, 2012 is going to be a hallmark for the year 2012 thanks to HBO releasing season 2 of; The Game of Thrones. Having watched the entire first season and thoroughly enjoying it, I recommend this series as a must watch especially if you know nothing about the novels that the series is based [...]
Love this! Volkswagen will premier the entire commercial during the Super Bowl.
I have seen very few live action movies that emulate anime well. Goemon is the exception. I loved everything about this movie; from the plot, to the character designs, to the acting. Everything is top notch. The way the characters move during the action sequences is very fluid. The wirework is almost inconceivable. The framing [...]
We’ve been so busy over here at Comi Girl, not so much with work, but this seems to be the year of family. Not such a bad thing of course, because strengthening family bonds and getting re-acquainted with family you hardly get to see is very important in the grand scheme of things. So [...]

I haven’t reviewed a mecha based anime in awhile. STRAIN hits the spot. Cool unique mechas, cute girl pilots and intense space combat. Kind of like Gundam mixed with Eureka 7. The animation quality is pretty good. The episodes are well written. The mecha designs are very different. They look like a cross between Zentradi [...]
This series reminded me a lot of Sky Girls. Instead of using technology to fly the girls use magic. They still fight giant flying enemies and fly around in skimpy outfits. The animation is gorgeous, the mix of CG and cell animation is well done. The Strike Witches are humanities last hope against the Neuroi. [...]

Instead of fearing zombies you actually find yourself empathizing with them. “Risers” are the living dead, but unlike the unarticulated monsters we are used to seeing they can communicate with the living. Most Risers live civilly in a compound, [...]
