False Memories GN 1 & 2
manga
False Memories is a short, sweet story about a second chance at first love, a nice introduction to BL for the curious.
― There's something really rewarding about a well-told love story, no matter what the gender of the protagonists. Isaku Natsume's first English print release (another of her titles is, as of this review, digital-only but legally available) is one such tale. Complete in two volumes, F...
Astro Toy - Figma Ninja Slayer
anime
There's already an action figure for Trigger's upcoming ninja show, and of course, David already has it.
― figma Ninja Slayer Maker: Phat!! Company Series: Ninja Slayer Price: $50 I want to talk to you about how great Ninja Slayer is, because nobody but me seems to be saying so in English. Ninja Slayer is a Japanese light novel series, originally posted in pieces on Twitter at @NJ_SLYR. Its gimmick,...

anime
The men get their turn as we count down the male voice actors you heard most in 2014.
― This week we're counting down the most in demand voice actors in English dubs for the year. I sat down with ANN's Encyclopedia, went through every new North American release that included English dubs, and tallied the roles to get a comprehensive list of who starred in what, and overall which actors got the most ...
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods [Extended Edition] Blu-Ray
anime
Akira Toriyama's return to the Dragonball franchise is marked by a boatload of gags, a kittycat nemesis and a whole lot of theatrical-quality fighting.
― Dragonball Z: Battle of the Gods is a work that turns back the clock in a couple of ways. The first, most obvious one is that it leaps back in the timeline - the film takes place right at the end of Dragonball Z, in a happy post-Buu neutral. The mov...
Review: Parasyte (Live-Action Film)
live-action
With the animated version of the classic manga taking off, does the first half of its live-action counterpart, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, do the story justice?
― A couple of decades since the conclusion of the original manga and after years in development hell, Parasyte finally hits the silver screen as a live-action feature. In charge of transitioning the story from its initial paper-2D incarnati...
Answerman - Carb City
anime
Could Megan Fox be in Sailor Moon??? Why aren't there many josei anime? And much ado about video issues on American Blu-rays.
― This week, a small group of friends I'm a part of had one of its regular dinner parties. I was tasked with making the main entree, spaghetti marinara, complete with seafood. It turned out very well -- I was a little worried, as I'd never cooked for 22 people before, but eve...
Game Review: Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax
games
Your favorite (and not-so-favorite) light novel anime characters come together to pound the tar out of one another in this import-only fighting game.
― This is a funny situation for French Bread. As one of the stars of the late 90s-early 00's doujinshi game era, they used to make games like this all the time. The formula is pretty simple: you slap whatever character's popular right now into a fightin...
House of 1000 Manga - Japan Sinks
manga
A classic disaster story about what would happen if the oceans swallowed Japan whole catches Jason's eye this week.
― Japan Sinks "It's not as if our people simply moved to this island from somewhere else…even if we did, afterwards we've become one with it. We're Japanese…we're not human first and then Japanese…we are Japanese through and through!" I love apocalyptic stories. In some form they've al...
