One of our international contributors, L Meridian, gave us a glimpse at the first episode of Future Diary back in 2013. Here in the UK we’ve had to wait this month before we can get our hands on the Mirai Nikki: Future Diary – Complete Collection 1 set though. Here’s what Meridian told us; At […]

Better than the first: A review of Magi – The Kingdom of Magic
I described the ‘prequel’ as odd but catchy. In Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic we meet anime characters with names taken from famous Arabian stories; Aladdin, Alibaba, Sinbad, etc, who have magic powers or supernatural abilities and follow them as their adventures led to a battle around the independence of a small nation. The action […]
Boom! A review of a Certain Scientific Railgun
As mentioned in my review “Wizards vs Science” of A Certain Magical Index that the best character in the show is Misaka Mikoto. Misaka can manipulate electrical forces to such an extent that she’s a formidable warrior and a favourite tactic is to accelerate small items like coins at such speed that she acts as […]
Which side would you pick? A review of Expelled From Paradise
Expelled From Paradise begins with a metric ton of fan service. A sexy woman in the sort of strappy swimsuit that’ll sure to provoke a reaction – even if it’s the roll of the eyes – is lazing around on a beach when she’s approached by a hunky guy in budgie smugglers. The action picks […]

Too much of a good thing? A review of Samurai Bride
On paper, Samurai Bride looks like it’ll shape up nicely. It’s set in a haunted fantasy of a samurai setting and promises a mix of comedy and action. On the subject of “shaping up nicely” there’s also plenty of fan action as the shapely girls of the samurai team set up their own Maid Café […]

Gosh. We’re talking episodes 330 to 342 on this one! Bleach is a long running show but you’re not near the end with this set. We might say farewell to some favourite characters before the drama the the Reigai, those artificial bodies holding modified souls, if things keep going the way they are. It turns […]
