Anime

Another month has passed us, and whilst I have yet to get the chance to review the new titles from Siren Visual, I come baring the news of the titles being released this month. Honestly, in comparison to other...

Most probably the final Madman title I am reviewing for May, Chrome Shelled Regios was the last title on my list for a specific reason..... all of my friends encouraged me to review this one over the others. Chrome Shelled Regios is a series that passes itself off as Post-apocalyptic, however for the most part you will find yourself in a very modern Western Environment, with lots of battle scenes thrown into it. Interested? Seen this on your local anime suppliers shelf and thought this might be another generic fighting anime? Well read on to find out that it is different from your normal series, in my review on Chrome Shelled Regios Collection 1.

Title: Tamagotchi: The Movie Published by: Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand Based on: The toy series of the same name. Audio: The first title I have seen to offer both English 5.1 and English 2.0 Subtitles: No Subtitles Aspect Ratio: Anamorphic Widescreen...

It has only been a month since I started watching the first collection of this series, and out of all of Madman's releases this month, this was the one I was most eagerly waiting for hands down. A few days back, Madman recently announced that they will be releasing Black Butler onto television screens in at the very least, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales starting next month, so you have no reason not to experience Black Butler for yourself. For those who have not read my review of the first part should take to reading it HERE and ideally trying to watch some of the first part before reading this to prevent spoilers (Hell, it is not like this will be a negative review given the previous comments). Anyway, all your favorite British accented characters are back in the second part of Black Butler.

Remember Chobits? The name-brand anime series from 2001 which has spawned off countless cosplay adaptations and had characters from it appear in every CLAMP anime series since? Well guess what! You can relive the glory of it with this Blu-ray SD remastered version of the series at one low price. CLAMP have always released some interesting titles, however I think it is safe to say that Chobits has remained one of the more famous of them. For those who are interested in the series as a whole, or how the quality compares to the original DVD release, then read in for my review of Chobits Blu-ray Collection.

When I was growing up, my first experience in anime was on a television show known as Agro's Cartoon Connection, which was hosted by a puppet named Agro (Controlled by a brilliant comedian and radio personality Jamie Dunn). It was really...

For those who are expecting a series completely based around the life of Nagisa and Tomoya, which was the full extent of After Story in the Visual Novel, then you will be disappointed, but for a good reason! This season focuses on both the conclusion of the school arc in the first couple of episodes with the more minor characters getting their moment to shine, then proceeds with the actual After Story plotline. If you have read my previous Clannad reviews then you should know my normal pre-review comments, and if you haven't watched season one of Clannad yet, then you should watch it before reading this review. Anyway, after the jump is my review of Clannad: After Story.

When I was growing up, I was one of the majority that treated ABC's afternoon schedule as my normal form of after-school entertainment. There were many different series on that offered some educational and brain stimulating entertainment such as...
