ちはやふる Anime Review by Karen Gellender  To win at karuta, what is a skill that is a definite must have? Is it speed? Recollection ability? Passion? Accuracy? Determination? How about all of this and with a little bit of luck, a game is dominated. Karuta is a Japanese card game that is played between two players, and an orator. It relies on the ability to be the fastest to grab the correct card that has a poem recited from a selection of 100 poets. Japanese elementary and junior high schools would have contests between students much like how storytelling contests is done in American schools. Read More...
Anime Review by Brian Cirulnick  Blood-C could seem like yet another pedantic, boring, typical "school-girl fights bad guys with a sword, and then goes to school as if nothing happened..." -- except that it isn't.Oh no, this is from CLAMP. Trust us, everything you're watching isn't what you're watching. If you've seen films like 'The Truman Show' or 'Cabin in the Woods' you *might* be able to suspect what's coming, but, you won't. The clues are all there however; the show is so finely designed and directed, you just fall into it and accept what's going on, but then our central character Saya stops to pick up a small dog in the roadway, and she comments to the dog "Oh, you could be hit by a car doing that."

Anime Review by Linda Yau  Given an opportunity, would a person ever want to embark on the difficult road to fame? Millions would attempt and only a few can make it the top. Watching the success of reality shows like American Idol, there is no shortage of people who would want to an entertainer. In the United States there are a good number of star agencies that would train individuals to succeed in the world of entertainment. Now ask a teenager on other side of the world, and they'll probably mention being an idol or being part of a group as a solution to go on this fame route. Read More...
ヒーローマン Manga Review by Ben Huber  Stan Lee: He's been a highly regarded figure in the American comics scene for basically forever. But his attempts at breaking into the manga world haven't resulted in the same runaway success. So when Heroman rolled around, many wondered if it would be any good. The anime by BONES was a solid and entertaining show, so will the manga follow suit?The story follows the orphan boy Joey Jones, living on the west coast in Center City with his grandmother. After finding a broken Heybo action figure and repairing it, lightning strikes it and transforms it into the towering, powerful, red-white-and-blue Heroman. Joey doesn't have any enemies to fight though, so fortunately for him, an alien invasion happens right after. Perfect timing! Read More...  |
