  • Eighty years after the hero Gilgamesh single-handedly destroyed the tower, it has been rebuilt as a stronghold for the evil Lord Druaga and his dark minions. The armies of Uruk have secured the first floor of the tower, building the stronghold city of Meskia. Through the power of the benevolent god Anu, the strength of Druaga's demonic army wanes, and Uruk's soldiers - along with adventurers from many lands, drawn by the promise of glory and rumors of great treasure - gather to continue their floor-by-floor siege of The Tower.

  • Welcome to my review of Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, the fourth numbered game in the long running and successful Disgaea franchise which has not only led to four games, but portable remakes on both the Playstation Portable and Nintendo DS, to spin-off games such as Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave, Prinny: Can I Really Be A Hero? and many others. This game is one I have been covering since it has been announced, so I was expecting big things from it.... and did it fulfill my expectations of this series? You will have to read on to find out!

  • So we have another series that focuses on a Vampire and a Werewolf, but these are true Vampires who willingly suck blood, fear the sun and have been in hiding since Humans have existed. Do note that this series isn't one for the children or even the normal fan of Twilight, with a high degree of fanservice regardless of character ages and surprisingly has not been censored or edited for English release. This a tale where Vampires reveal themselves to the world and try to integrate with society (However isolated they are), and whilst trying to live peacefully, resistance from all sides leads to a bloody rebellion. Interested in hearing more? Read on for my review of Dance in the Vampire Bund.

  • Tired of another anime series that uses the same or female characters with breasts so large that they are provide a perfect form of buoyancy whenever they are in the water? How about instead watching a 22 episode series that not only provides a serious storyline with some supernatural elements, but dives into academia? Ghost Hound offers a unique watching experience that very few animes manage to deliver and if so, might not necessarily pull it off without having the viewers fall asleep.  This title was once available in two volume releases but now available in one big collection - so if you have been holding back, now might be the chance to check this series out. Curious about it? Read on to find out in my review of Ghost Hound.

  • This alongside many older series have been heavily requested for many years now, with one of the those being the original Digimon seasons. Whilst I don't believe any companies prior have done a DVD release of this series -Madman Entertainment have stepped forward and decided to take action by releasing the first season of Digimon in two DVD collections, with the second collection due out next month. This was a staple for morning television back when I was in primary school, in which you were almost guaranteed to have at least half your class watching it, and another couple of people being closet watchers (A bit extreme perhaps, but Cheez TV was serious business back then). If you want to rewatch the series or were not able to see it upon its original release, read on to find out how this series holds up in 2011.
