Similar to what animators did to the Batman franchise last year, Halo gets the anime treatment from a bunch of different artists that is broken up in various stories. The Halo Legends anthology is an anime-style adaptation of the Halo series consisting of seven short films animated by five different Japanese production houses. Brilliant idea ...

Wings of Honneamise – Review

Wings of Honneamise – Review

Wings of Honneamise takes on what is usually too much for one movie. Besides the obvious plot about a space program, this movie deals with war, politics, friendship, religion, love, morality, the sanctity of childhood, homelessness, and a man trying to find himself. The film is about a man, living in another world not unlike ...

Summer Wars – Review

Summer Wars – Review

Summer Wars is a film directed by Mamoru Hosoda, who you may know for the movie The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, which I listed as one of the top 10 anime films of the decade. Upon hearing this news, I was instantly interested in seeing this film.  Hosoda seems intent on ramping up the ...

Karas: The Prophecy – Review

Karas: The Prophecy – Review

After watching Karas – The Prophecy one time through you will either think it was an awesome production of action and effects or that it is a complete mess. I admit that I enjoyed what I thought was mindless entertainment, but at the same time was left slightly disappointed. The slick CG fight scenes aren’t ...

Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers – Review

Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers – Review

Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers is of course another film based off of the popular tv series of the same nature. Except this time, they’ve completely changed some of the characters. The thing is, this is done very purposefully, as part of the central theme of the new story.  I’ll admit, when ...

Porco Rosso – Review

Porco Rosso – Review

Porco Rosso isn’t about flying pigs, no, behind all the cartoony surface lies the touching sadness of a lost past and a yearning hope for a better future, straight from Miyazaki’s heart. The title character is a grumpy pig who flies a World War I era plane between the two world wars. Once human, Porco ...

Bleach Movie 3: Fade to Black – Review

Bleach Movie 3: Fade to Black – Review

Bleach Movie 3: Fade to Black is a great anime movie. The female villain is just crazy in this film and dark Rukia is definitely my favorite of the villians in all three films. After an explosion that covers about 30% of the Seriettei, Ichigo goes to Soul Society to investigate and finds that everyone ...

Picking up after Ed and Al’s separation in the final episode of the original series, we’re given a glimpse of Ed’s new life on Earth. At the end of the series, 4 Homunculi had ...
