Ah, Initial D. Subject of many parodies that I don’t understand. Until now, of course. Suddenly, that one episode of Lucky Star is a lot funnier…

Disgaea Vol 3: The Netherworld War – Anime DVD Review

disgaea-3-cover.jpg

So the Disgaea anime and I have been on complicated terms with each other. Volume 1 was passable. Volume 2 was pretty bad. So can we finally patch things up with volume 3? Or is this the end of my Disgaea fanboyism!?

009-1 Vol. 1 – Anime DVD Review

009-1-1-cover.jpg

009-1 is that one cyborg spy anime from the Fall of 2006 that really didn’t get much recognition. It probably had something to do with the fact that it quickly got licensed by ADV (and stopped getting fansubbed).
