Out of all of the 10 anime DVDs that I bought from that crazy Rightstuf sale, I only watched 1. I figured I should attempt to reduce my backlog, so I finally watched the first DVD of Niea Under 7.

While Japan gets SHAFT-style Negima, the US is getting plenty of the original series. I recall watching this entire anime on fansub and thinking it was bad, yet irresistible at the same time. So can I really go back to XEBEC after getting a taste for SHAFT? (That sounded bad…)
Since there aren’t really any ninja anime this Fall season, I was totally psyched when I got the first few volumes of Basilisk in the mail. I had seen a couple of episodes of this anime on fansub, but I stopped when it got licensed (no, really!).
Trinity Blood is one of those anime that I never really payed much attention to when it came out. Whenever I hear “Trinity Blood,” I think of that Melty Blood game. Funimation sent me a review package of DVDs, and one of them was the Trinity Blood Volume 1 collector’s box. Awesome! Here’s my review:
So my huge ass anime order from RightStuf came in a few days ago. I decided to watch Haibane Renmei first, since it seemed the most interesting.
Star Blazers is a totally retro anime that was known in Japan as “Space Battleship Yamato.” It’s considered a classic anime and therefore, a must watch! But does the “classic” label mean it’s too old to be compared to current anime?
I recently had a chance to check out the Star Blazers Series 1 DVD Collection. Here’s my review of Disc 1 (Episodes 1-5).
As part of my “review more American Anime Time stuff” campaign, I contacted some companies and asked if they could send me anything to review. Super Techno Arts was kind enough to send a copy of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Vol. 1.
Coincidentally, back in the Playstation (1) days there was a fighting game called “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” that I used to have. I don’t really remember it that well, but it seemed pretty cool. Apparently the game was based on the same manga that this anime was based on.
So I was browsing around the Blockbuster.com anime section (which is extremely weak; mostly pokemon!) and found this anime called Blood: The Last Vampire. The description said it was about this vampire named Saya who had to fight chiropterans. I thought the plot sounded kinda familiar. Apparently, this is the prequel to the TV anime series, Blood+. So that explains the "+" part. I wonder if they’ll make a sequel to that called "Blood++" (nerd joke, right here!)
