This is the dawning of the age of Aquarion, the age of Aquariooonn, Aquarrioooonnnn!
Eleven years before the start of the series, a disaster only referred to as the "Great Catastrophe" destroyed significant parts of the world and killed off many of its inhabitants. Along with that disaster came the appearance of the "Shadow Angels", a winged humanoid species, who have been in slumber for twelve thousand years. They begin to harvest the remaining humans on Earth, like cattle, to extract their life force from them, which serves as energy and nutrition to the Shadow Angels. (It's a cookbook, a cookbook!)

Imagine that you have a split personality, one side good, while the other is evil. And the evil side is the most feared swordfighter in Japanese history, Kyo, the demon eyed samurai — a man with a long string of enemies — while the good side is blissfully unaware of the demon within.
Samurai Deeper Kyo blends elements of actual Japanese history with a bit of fantasy, similar to the successful formula of Rurouni Kenshin, but this series has a much darker edge to it. Mibu Kyoshiro is an above average swordsman traveling the countryside selling medicine and acting as healer. He is immediately captured by a female bounty hunter named Shiina, who unwittingly settles for the tiny bounty on Kyoshiro, not realizing that Kyoshiro is also Demon Eyes Kyo — a man wanted for the murder of more than a thousand men.

I remember the sensation caused by the release of Zeta Gundam. You need to remember that at the time, Gundam hadn't been on the air for 6 or 7 years, but Bandai's model kits were still selling like hotcakes. Zeta Gundam shocked everyone because they took all the complexity of the Original Mobile Suit Gundam, and made it even more complex! And for the time, the animation and artwork were far beyond everyone's expectations of what you could expect for a TV production — the art was astoundingly intricate, technically detailed, and just downright awesome.

Yes, that's really a Vulcan Canon attached from her elbow down. For those of you who loved Grindhouse, this fantasy-fest of gore, non-stop action, ultra-violence, flying bullets, and the wackiest collection of weapons you've ever seen (a drill bra?), will either have you howling with laughter or cheering at the exploits of the heroine. Either way, you'll be entertained, and that's what counts!
Sporting the largest amount of blood *ever* in a live-action film (characters are literally being firehosed with the stuff), Machine Girl is the tale of unrelenting revenge when Ami's brother and friend are killed by ruthless bullies. Read More...
If you already love Pokémon I'll already assume that you'll get a kick out of these twin games that are available for the Nintendo DS, however what impressed me about both games is that you don't need to be a hardcore fanboy to have a good time. When you're first starting the game you're treated to a personality test, I found this to be a nice twist on the typical "create your own character" that one finds so often with adventure games.
The games feature a nice mix of storytelling and game play, and the cute world of Pokémon goes together well with small screens of the Nintendo DS. In fact with the sound effects you get the nice feeling of a classic retro gaming experience. The other nice thing about these duo titles is that they work with the wireless connection in the DS, so you can interact with friends on the Wii Message Board.
And of course what would a Pokémon title be without hunting for treasure, exploring dungeons and engaging in battles? These games feature quite a bit of colorful variety, so you'll get quite a few days worth of Pokémon packed entertainment.
If you've seen the anime series Someday's Dreamers, you know what a nice show it is. It is a shining example of niceness. It's a great way to detox from all the violence, bloodshed, and death the other animes enjoy heaping on you. If it's not the nicest anime series ever made, it's certainly in the top ten. It can easily be described as a nice version of Witch Hunter Robin. Read More...
After easily making our list of top-ten coolest animes we'd love to be stranded on a desert island with, the manga for this awesome series makes life worth living after all. It goes much more in-depth, as only a manga can (by not being limited to a 22-minute episode), with all the internal politics only hinted at within the series. Read More...
This shows you just how much we take computer technology for granted these days. The Knockout Makers are, for all intents and purposes, guerilla makeover artists. Their website is accessible for only ten minutes ever night at midnight. Young girls who feel that they are desperately in need of their services have only this window of opportunity to contact them asking for their help. Only a few clients are picked. Read More...
