Jubei Chan
You know I love giant fighting Mecha, amazing ninja battles, and fantastical anime. But I also have a 7 year old daughter who, like her dad, loves anime but a different type. She loves the numerous girly anime like Hello Kitty and Sasami Magical Club. Because of her I have watched and actually (don’t tell [...]
Negima! Magister Negi Magi
This is one of my daughter’s favorite anime. I wanted to watch a few episodes to make sure it was suitable for her to watch. I ended up buying 3 DVDs and watching about 12 episodes. No giant mecha or ninja sword action, this anime caters mostly to young girls, and I can see why [...]
Kekkaishi on Adult Swim
It has kind of a cult following in Japan and throughout Europe, and I can see why.
Tenchi Muyo GXP
What’s a Tenchi Muyo series without Tenchi?! That’s what we have with Tenchi Muyo GXP. I really like the Tenchi Muyo series. The chemistry and tension between Tenchi and the girls is very well done. The characters are all likable from the crazy space pirate Ryoko, to the demure Jurai princess Ayeka, to the always [...]
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
I am a huge Cowboy Bebop fan, and now that there is a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie in the works I thought I might review the anime Cowboy Bebop movie. I hope they do the anime justice in the live action version. The anime movie was kind of like a feature length episode, which is [...]
Ghibli-bration
Walt Disney has released 3 special edition Studio Ghibli films. I was hoping for Princess Mononoke, but alas no. The three new DVDs are: My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky and Kiki’s Delivery Service. Each has a special Ghibli world special feature where you can explore the different studio Ghibli films with character bios [...]
Shinobi: Heart Under Blade
Although not an animated anime, I would consider it a live action anime. Other then the Mecha anime, which I love, I also enjoy samurai and ninja anime. Distributed by Funimation Entertainment it is a live action film like no other. They really tried to make it like an animated film. The camera angles, dialogue, [...]
Robotech:The Macross Saga
Robotech got me into anime, period. It was the most influential anime cartoon in my life. It made me fall in love with the culture and artwork. It was not the first anime I ever saw but made me realize, how awesome it is. I haven’t gone back and watched the series since I was [...]
Halo Legends
Halo Legends is a series of short anime films based on the Halo video games. I played the Halo games but didn’t realize how large and detailed the Halo universe is. These short films really open it up to fans of Halo. Those that follow anime will probably recognize some of the directors and studios [...]
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
A very interesting, and original series. Code Geass is an anime series created by Sunrise Studios best known for their Gundam series, and released by Bandai Entertainment. The story revolves around the Holy Britannian Empire invading Japan, and taking over the country, they do this using mecha known as Knightmare Frames. Since I am a [...]
