When I first saw the original TV spot for Prison Break during the airing of 24 - Season 4, I thought it looked, plainly and simply--dumb. How on earth could this possibly last an entire season? Soon enough, word got around that the show was actually quite good. Being the TV junkie that I am, I decided to give it a chance. I acquired the first three episodes from a friend of mine and ended up watching them back-to-back. I was hooked. Prison Break had already become my next television addiction. From then on out, I religiously watched the show every week up until,...Read the entire review

Being a half-blooded Korean myself, I have taken an unprecedented interest in Asian cinema in general, but particularly within the realm of Korea in an effort to bond with my mother. As such, I was hoping to get my hands on a copy of Cello, one of the latest among a slew of releases under Tartan's Asia Extreme DVD line.

Whereas Bruce's previous television series (also slated for release on 7/18/06), Read the entire review

The Oh My Goddess! five-episode OVA series was first released on DVD in the United States in 2001 across two separate discs: Volume 1 and Volume 2. Fans of the ever-growing popular show will be more than pleased with AnimEigo's decision to re-release it in this remastered three-disc collection. Staying loyal to the original manga by Fujishima Kousuke, both director Hiroaki Gooda and screenplay writer Naoko Hasegawa do a phenomenal job with bringing one of anime's...Read the entire review

A Note from the Reviewer: This is a review of the screener and as such is not the finished product.

From director Hiroaki Sakurai of Cromartie High School and the producers of Azumanga Daioh comes the charming new show Nanaka 6/17. While not necessarily epic in the realm of anime, Nanaka is filled with laughs and even moments that are likely to touch one's heart. The first installment of this 13-episode series shows a lot of promise and gives one ...Read the entire review
