Review: Ninja Nonsense (aka: 2×2 Shinobuden) Vol.1
Having scored a copy of this title for $15 at a Best Buy sale, I figured I should begin blogging it.
Story: Shinobu is a ninja in training under her “master” Onsokumaru. Onsokumaru turns out to be nothing more than an odd, perverted, yellow ball. Shinobu, as part of a test, is sent by Onsokumaru to […]

Manga Review: Ikkitousen Vol.1
So, being the new fan to Ikkitousen that I am, I jumped at the chance to read it for free when I found that my local library system had it.
However, as enjoyable as the art and overall story was, the adaptation was horrendous. Tokyopop should be ashamed of themselves for letting the Griffonator touch it. […]

The Legacy of Gundam SEED Destiny: How it Affects Current Opinion and Code Geass.
I’ve noticed that in the fandom, there is a big divide in opinion on Code Geass. Much of it, seems to come from old wounds created by SEED Destiny. This is, unfortunately, the legacy of SEED Destiny. This legacy of distrust, however, extends far beyond just Sunrise mech anime. Many anime fans begin to scream […]

However, I’ve finally worked it out (not really, I’m out of work and have nowhere to train now), so now I have more time for anime bloging. I […]

Is Toei back in the race?
Today, it seems that Toei has put up a new english language website. The properties mentioned include two licensed by Illuminitoon (Bo^7, Beet), two that are or were licensed by 4kids (One Piece, Pretty Cure), and one that has one of the most confusing on and off licensing situations I’ve ever seen, Digimon Savers.
For now, […]

Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny ep.2
This episode got the story moving some. Ryubi has been a treat to watch, as has been Kanu and Chofei. No real characters were introduced in this episode, but we did get some very good fight scenes.
The episode starts with Sousou finishing another rampage. Him and Kakouton are pretty exhausted. However, after some discussion about […]

Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny ep.1
While I haven’t actually seen the first series, I’ve been interested in the show for a long time due to it’s RotK connection. Recently, I read both the first volume of the manga, and the first episode of the sequel series “Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny”. So far, I’ve become an IT fanatic. The combination of […]
