Dead Space: Downfall – Review

Dead Space: Downfall – Review

In physiology, dead space is air that is inhaled by the body in breathing, but does not take part in gas exchange. Not all the air in each breath is able to be used for the exchange of oxygen, in fact about a third of every resting breath is exhaled exactly as it came into ...

Howl’s Moving Castle – Review

Howl’s Moving Castle – Review

At this point, we all know that Hayao Miyazaki is a genius. So I’ll begin harshly given his reputation. Howl’s Moving Castle comes close to being another masterpiece, but ultimately falls a little short of that distinction. The film’s story is told from the viewpoint of a 18-year-old girl Sophie, who is working at a ...

Bleach Movie 2: The DiamondDust Rebellion – Review

Bleach Movie 2: The DiamondDust Rebellion – Review

The movie opens with a progress straight out of the Jidai Matsuri which is a company of the King’s retainers are transporting his seal, and the 10th squad has been assigned to provide security. One of the most interesting things for me about the movie was that it did involve the King of Soul Society. ...

Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone – Review

Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone – Review

After the second impact, all that remains of Japan is Tokyo-3, a city that’s being attacked by giant creatures that seek to eradicate the human kind, called Angels.  Last hope for survival rests with a government agency and its gigantic Evangelion fighting artillery, a human-mechanical hybrid designed by Shinji’s distant father, Gendou.  Before I continue ...

Batman: Gotham Knight – Review

Batman: Gotham Knight – Review

Designed to obviously stir up interest among fans with the release of Dark Knight, imagine my enthusiasm as an anime fan when I had heard that an anime movie was underway for DC Comic’s Batman. Gotham Knight features six stand-alone, but connected stories about Batman, Bruce Wayne and the cast of colorful characters we’ve all ...

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – Review

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – Review

A reader of the site left a comment on one of my entries a few months back informing me that The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was his favorite anime film ever. I hadn’t seen the film and was very anxious to view a film someone touted as being their favorite. I then learned that ...

Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might – Review

Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might – Review

Granted, The Tree of Might isn’t the best introduction to the Dragonball saga. Dragon Ball Z is probably the biggest anime ever created, and of course it’s going to have movies. Tree of Might is one of the good ones, in fact is probably the best DBZ movie so far.  Over the years, my relationship ...

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea – Review

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea – Review

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea is more Totoro than Princess Mononoke. It’s aimed more towards the younger crowd, but still so visually amazing and mindblowing because Ponyo was done completely with traditional hand-drawn animation. Miyazaki proves that 3D animation is never a replacement for 2D, just an alternative. Miyazaki’s consistence as a director ...
