Paranoia Agent Review

Paranoia Agent Review

I understand that this show has been available for several years and being a Satoshi Kon work, is quite popular, but could you believe I’ve still met people who’ve never watched Paranoia Agent? Paranoia Agent is a mystery and psychological thriller, created by a wide array of unusual ideas Satoshi said he had left over after his previous pieces…


Powerful Female Character: Sir Integra Hellsing

Powerful Female Character: Sir Integra Hellsing

In my article about Outlaw Star, I went on to explain my adoration for the anime, as it was one of the few in my experience to have such a powerful cast of intriguing and fully fleshed female characters. I went further, saying that my problem with so many anime shows is the girls try too hard and are written off for trying too much to be like one of the guys.


Slayers

Slayers

Not including Pokémon, Slayers was the second anime I was introduced to at the age of twelve, by the same friend who had made the first mistake days before by showing me Fushigi Yugi. (A mistake for her, as it was something I talked about on a constant basis for years.) At the time, only Slayers, Next and Try existed.


5 Great Anime Openings

5 Great Anime Openings

An opening to a show should be just as beautiful and expressive as the anime itself. Being able to introduce the characters, elude to the story and express the artistic route in which the series will go is a feat which should be praised for its success.


Kaze no Stigma and Midnight Cafeteria Updates

Kaze no Stigma and Midnight Cafeteria Updates

Fujimi Shobo, a Japanese publishing company, has officially announced that the author of Kaze no Stigma, Takahiro Yamato, officially passed away on July 20, 2009. The story, created in 2002, now remains incomplete with eleven volumes.


Spirited Away: No Face

Spirited Away: No Face

Hayao Miyazaki has moved and effected so many of us in different ways with some of the most memorable films in animation history such as, Howl’s Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and what will probably be my favorite for the rest of my life, Spirited Away.


The Attraction of Death Note’s Light Yagami

The Attraction of Death Note’s Light Yagami

When I first began to read Death Note, I had been under the impression that Light Yagami was not only the protagonist but the hero and I had only heard rumors of who the mysterious L was and what exact role he played, I had been uninterested at the time.


Naruto: The Charm of Minor Characters

Naruto: The Charm of Minor Characters

My first experience with Naruto was before the show was available in the nifty, uncut box sets, DVDs borrowed by my sister from a friend who managed to get them somehow, in a condition that included poor translations in the subtitles. At the time, I was the only one with a DVD player, so my sister convinced me that I needed to watch this ninja anime with her.


Gravitation: Too Much Chibi

Gravitation: Too Much Chibi

I have always been a fan of the occasional use of ‘chibi’ or ‘super deformed’ in anime. It’s one of those comic staples that makes anime stand out from western cartoons, but too much of it can often be fatal to a show’s well being and I think Gravitation is a perfect example.


Review of Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo

Review of Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo

I was able to see an advanced screening of Miyazaki’s Ponyo, before the debut of the film to over 800 theatres nationwide in the United States on August 14, 2009. The animation, as expected, was absolutely stunning, the use of color and animals in this film is just as beautiful as the teaser trailers hinted.


Remembering, I’m Gonna Be An Angel

Remembering, I’m Gonna Be An Angel

I still have memories of an anime I watched back in 2001 called, I’m Gonna Be An Angel! This absurd, wacky and absolutely adorable anime was produced by Studio Pierrot (Fushigi Yugi, Naruto, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho) and was initially distributed to North America by Synch-Point.


Outlaw Star’s Female Cast

Outlaw Star’s Female Cast

I was star-struck the first time I watched the dubbed and edited version of Outlaw Star on Toonami as a kid. I couldn’t imagine how the show could be even more amazing than the Americanized version I was stuck with, but after buying the complete show, including the unaired episode twenty-three, due to nudity, I fell completely in love.


Death Note: The Movie

Death Note: The Movie

I was a little late for the Death Note train, but despite my inability to follow the story at the same time the rest of the country was, I nonetheless got on board and thoroughly enjoyed what I read. Really loving L and the team of police, like many of the other fans, I decided to watch the live-action films made in Japan as well, to complete my Death Note trifecta.


Fake: The Anime That Never Was

Fake: The Anime That Never Was

Sanami Matoh’s shonen ai manga, Fake, is an undeniably great story. A rollercoaster of action, mystery and a well rounded cast of characters, the original manga told such an impressive tale in only seven volumes. While it is about a romance between New York City detectives, Ryo Maclean and Dee Laytner, it features strong assisting characters, both male and female.
