The Edit List Read or Die OVA
by Kyle Pope, Oct 27th 2004
1) Completely unedited.
About time Cartoon Network got around to airing this one. I thought it was perfect for them when I first saw it. Too bad Tech TV beat them to the R.O.D TV series.
The only change CN made to it was running all three OVAs together as a movie. There were things I though might pose problems (the nude silhouettes in the opening credits, the president wetting himself and Miss Deep's prominent gainaxing) but they all got through. Adult Swim is certainly attempting to live up to its name. Nice to see the standards loosening up enough to give shows like this the airings they deserve.

The most memorable fights are often not the ones of brute strength, but the ones where the heroes must conquer the villains in their heads. It's a principle that is exemplified in this volume of Bleach.

It's not just a recitation of giant robot battles and alien adventures, but an honest tale of love, friendship, and growing up, set against the backdrop of an epic planetary struggle.
Arata: The Legend GN 1
What's going on around Arata seems interesting, yet it's hard to care when he spends the vast majority of his time whining about how betrayed he feels.

Claymore BLURAY
The Blu Ray version of this dark, graphic fantasy series about blond female warriors wielding big swords offers very little that the original DVD releases did not. Though the series shows pronounced shonen influences, it is still, at essence, a very human story, and that makes all the difference.
