Anime releases hit a bit of a slow period but things are starting to rev up once again! In the downtime the goofy guys over at Anime Talk discovered that there are actually other hobbies worth caring about. When we started to go through withdrawal we churned out reviews for Burst Angel's OVA, Trinity Blood's, Mars Daybreak, and Dragon Ball GT. Of course our backlog grows as Rightstuf is in the middle of their 12 Days of Christmas sale and our buddy WTK has all the bargain news that's fit to dish!
