Manga Review: Dorohedoro, Volume 1

Sorcerers and their victims live in the crude world of "The Hole".  What once used to be a beautiful, successful collaboration of towns is now a dumpy, blood-stained pile of dysfunctional, unsafe living spaces.  Caiman was a victim of a Sorcerer's powerful spell, one that transformed his face into a lizard's head.  Now he spends his days hanging out with Nikaido (a human who has yet to be a Sorcerer's guinea pig) killin' Sorcerers, and looking for the one that "transformed" his life along with erasing his past.

Anime DVD Review: 20th Century Boys, Part 2: The Last Hope

If you are interested in becoming a maniacal world leader of a deadly cult and want to find the "How To" handbook (like me), I would recommend that you spend a few hours of your time becoming familiar with 20th Century Boys.  I know that I now have several "Book of Prophecies" completed and that in just a matter of time I will put one of them into action and begin my meteoric rise.  So, be ready!

DVD Review: Soul Eater – Part One

 

OK Captain, buckle up and get ready for one of the wildest rides you have been on in some time.  Let's take the vibrant color palette and easy-flowing character images of an early Disney and add to it the crazy dark supernatural world of the Far East, shake it all around and then pour it out like a lively modernist jazz composition and you will have Soul Eater.

DVD Review: Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1

After 220 episodes, Studio Pierrot, Hayato Date, the director and the creator Masashi Kishimoto understood that they had come to a crossroads.  Their beloved and wildly popular show had begun to stagnate.  What to do?  Many bright people would try to milk their golden cow for everything they could and just let it die a tragic death.  This is not the case for our beloved hyperactive hero Naruto.
