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 [...]

Strike Witches
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. [...]
Blood+
Inspired by the full length anime, Blood: The Last vampire, Blood+ is a different take on the same character. It is produced by Production I.G the studio that brought you, Moribito and Ghost in a Shell S.A.C. The animation is top notch. The first episode jumps right in and gets you interested. It introduces Saya, [...]
Top 10 Anime Babes
I love top 10 lists and I’m pretty sure this one will cause some debate. I did not pick the smuttiest or the most naked. I picked the top ten I feel are straight up babes. So here it is…starting with a few that didn’t quite make the cut. Melfina from Outlaw Star– OK she [...]
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 [...]
