In this time before I start getting the spring preview ready and working on the winter season awards, I’m going try to get to some...

It is certainly possible for an anime show to be good or at least watchable without stellar music, voice acting, or animation; however, it does definitely help. For example,...

I enjoy many of these types of anime and this sometimes leads to odd pairings; for example, I remember watching Kaiba and Maid Guy back-to-back on several occasions. There are a few categories you won’t...

That's what your votes said. And that's what I thought, too.Male lead: Fukuyama Jun (Lelouche in Code Geass)Supporting female: Horie Yui (Minori in Toradora)Supporting male: Kamiya Hiroshi (Michel in Macross...

The question is: is this going to be the next Escaflowne or the next Noein?Munto, you see, shares much in common with those two fantasy series. It has the whole “Girl of Destiny” concept, the whole “alternate...

Therefore, when I found out Rideback was being done by Madhouse I became really excited about this title. Rating:...
