Giovanni's Island is as powerful as it is predictable. It may be one of the few films to focus on the Kuril Islands, but its tale will prove immediately familiar to anyone acquainted with cinema's typical treatments of war-torn children.

One of the few anime biographies, Nitaboh is surprisingly formulaic for being a true story.

Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky GN 1

Apr 14, 14:51

3 comments

Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky is in fact about girls with no pants, but if you can get past that conceit, it's an enjoyable book. It's more of a fun diversion than a series to sink your teeth into, but it is also a good way into the franchise.

Deadman Wonderland is overall a very gripping series, at least in its first two volumes. The story is dystopian, frightening, and guaranteed to make you angry.

Mercenary Kings is a tangled mess of a game most of the time, but a fun one almost as often.

Despite its overall lack of freshness, this action-oriented harem series executes well enough in centering on its fledgling vampire lead that it still proves plenty entertaining.

Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher BD+DVD

Two of Marvel Comics' deadliest non-super-powered heroes get their anime treatment in this new Madhouse offering. It shines for its fight choreography, which is good enough to carry it over a lack of originality and depth.
