Panzer Dragoon
| Review: | ||||||||
Everything rendered looks like a bad CD-ROM game from a few years back, and at times, you can even see the pixels. The shimmer isn't as much of a problem this time, and the hand-animated segments are actually pretty well-animated, but everything that involves heavy computer graphics just looks incredibly dated. There is no subtitled version (for reasons obvious to anyone that watches it), and the dub, although well-cast, is REALLY horribly acted. Come to think of it, the script is so corny, I don't think there *IS* a way to make it sound good. The plot is your standard Super Mario Bros. hero-must-save-love-interest fare, but at least she isn't a princess. One nice twist is that she's blind. The only well-done scene is a flashback of the two of them together above a festival. I wish the whole thing was like that. Essentially, our hero Kyle is caught off-guard when he, his friend, and his "lady" Alita are assaulted by a black dragon on a hunting trip. His friend is killed, and Alita is sucked onto the black dragon's back and is carried off. A blue dragon (whom Kyle treats like crap) tries to help him track her down. There's some other stuff there. An evil team or something... I don't know what that is. It's never adequately explained. This anime will attract RPG fans and no one else. Even they'll probably feel jypped. |

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey
On the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film.

InuYasha Movie Blu-ray Complete Collection
Four movies, all so rigidly formulaic that they could be sequential remakes. This is an entertaining set all told, but you can get the same experience (or better) by watching the first film four times.
K-ON! The Movie Blu-Ray
The movie finishes what the TV series began, with a story that goes beyond a typical episode, but stops short of being an epic, life-changing experience.
Sailor Moon GN 8 -10
The fourth story arc of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon saga, known to many fans as “Sailor Moon SuperS,” may have a reputation from the anime as being one of the weakest arcs, but the two and a half volumes that make it up in the manga are among the best the series has to offer.
Kids on the Slope Blu-Ray
Jazz music is much the stars as the main cast in this story about teens who become friends in late 1960s Japan. Great sounds and good character development bolster what is otherwise a fairly pedestrian character drama.
Porco Rosso DVDWith warm landscapes, colorful characters, and a fantastic array of dogfights and flight scenes, this is one movie where you'll miss all the good parts if you blink. Whether you're a fan of Miyazaki, a fan of airplanes, or a fan of good animation, make sure to check out Porco Rosso.
