I have absolutely no idea what the Hell M. Night Shyamalan was thinking when he put this movie together. How to best butcher and ruin a genuinely spectacular series? Because that’s what it felt like.Before anyone claims that I am biased by the original series though, I have to say ...

Before there was the Power Rangers … there was The Guyver. Made before CGI was viable, this live action adaptation of the Japanese manga was actually a fairly accurate on the basic story where an ordinary young man is thrust into the extraordinary when he runs across a strange alien ...

I stumbled across this series several years ago but it’s been a difficult task getting ahold of all of the volumes. It’s rather surprising to me that it doesn’t appear to be all that popular as it is as other titles such as Bleach, One Piece, or Naruto. This series ...

Ever since I was a kid I was fascinated with superheroes and I genuinely enjoyed this series as rarely do superheroes get explored in Japanese anime. What I truly liked was the freshness and originality of this series as it takes a look at just how would superheroes be treated ...

Based on the recent anime-inspired Teen Titans series, this movie was a suitable grand finale for the Titans as I felt that the final season didn’t really focus on the five core Titans as much as it was a guest star Titan-poolza where they tried to stick in every single ...

The Teen Titans weren’t the first group of superheroes but they were the youngest and consisted of the sidekicks to the older, more established heroes. Originally stylized as a Junior Justice League and each sidekick in many ways were simply a carbon copy of their mentor but they evolved and ...

This is a collection of animated stories featuring Batman with a rather strong anime influence, which makes sense considering that each story segment was done by a separate Japanese anime production company. But there is an appalling lack of cohesion and we get so many different and disjointed interpretations of ...

I've only started reading this series and it already has got me rather hooked. There is a definite darkish vibe to it, but not so much that it totally grosses you out.Taking place in an alternate world where female warriors who wield gigantic blades known as "Claymores" and hunt down ...

Like so many sequels, this one was definitely not in the same caliber of the original. I personally liked the first Ben 10 animated series the best while this one felt a bit uninspired and forced to me.The main issue that I had was that Ben 10 was very much ...

Ben 10 was a great cartoon series that I think appeals to all ages. Even though it’s geared for children causing me to ignore it for most of it’s run, I found myself watching an episode on TV as I couldn’t find anything better on and then watching the next ...

I have to admit that I am not a particular fan of romance anime or manga. I find them a bit overly gooey and emotional with too much females weeping or stoic guys who push away their loved ones because they somehow erroneously believe that they are unworthy of the ...

A few years ago, I distinctly remember seeing a TV episode of "House M.D." where the belligerent doctor informed a black politician aspiring to the Presidency that; "it's not just called the White House because of the paint job". And while it was offensive, he was right.Eagle: The Making of ...

This is one of the most interesting manga series that I have read recently. It’s sort of a cross between Harry Potter and Ranma 1/2 where a 10-year old British wizard who has just graduated from his magic school is appointed to become a teacher to a Japanese High School ...
