News Fans eagerly anticipate Pokemon arrival
posted on 1998-09-09 00:00 EDT
"Pokémon," or "Pocket Monsters," Nintendo's children's anime series that gained fame last year when thousands of Japanese kids experienced epileptic seizures during a particular episode where computer-generated flashing light was a factor (as well as thousands of adults when the clip was repeated on news programs), is debuting on American networks. Syndicated nationally, typically on WB Network and Fox affiliates, the show will not feature the seizure episode.
The show debuted yesterday morning across the country, and instead of showing the first episode, an episode from the middle of the series was shown as a "preview", with the real beginning to come later.
Early reports don't mention significant cuts, but due to the shorter running time for American television programs, no anime on American television can remain totally uncut.

Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2
"Rather than reinvent its predecessor, Final Fantasy XIII-2 just improves its ideas in smaller ways. It's more casually enjoyable than Final Fantasy XIII, but it's still unsatisfying in the long run." Check out Todd Ciolek's verdict on the latest in the long-running franchise now.

Ouran High School Host Club GN 17
There is but one volume remaining to Ouran High School Host Club, and it has been a fun ride. While this book doesn't quite live up the earlier ones in terms of pure, lighthearted enjoyment, it is still solidly entertaining.

Cage of Eden GN 2 & 3
Cage of Eden has all of the elements of a classic survival epic – monsters, diseases, an unfriendly wilderness with no perceived escape, and our own ability as humans to lie. While it can be laid on a bit thick at times, and the fanservice or treatment of the adult female characters may be objectionable to some, Yamada's story is an engrossing one.

A perverted young man becomes the master to a sexy, emotionally stunted, angel-like android with frightening power in this 2009 harem series. Though occasionally good, the series much more often wallows in crass stupidity.
Blue Exorcist DVD 2
Nothing here shakes up the series the way parts of the last volume did, but it's consummate entertainment nonetheless: slick and effortlessly propulsive, yet still respectful of its audience and characters.

This concise and well-adapted story is an exciting, intense action tale full of intriguing characters and drama. Unfortunately, the decision to heavily utilize 3D CG throughout the movie drags the overall production down.

Best Student Council DVD 5Even as it approaches its conclusion, it sticks to its guns, serving up a fresh batch of episodic fluff, though it does weave answers to some lingering questions into its stock plots.
