Elfen Lied – Review
December 24th, 2009
cello85 This was a particular fun series to watch as it was very short, only containing 13 episodes, and had little to no filler material. The first couple episodes will shock you due to the excessive amount of violence, but I pushed myself out of curiosity, eager to await the next round of brilliant hysteria that [...]

The simple plot revolves around Fuu searching for the Sunflower Samurai.

Meet your main hero Kanta, armed with a shotgun, a Handyman hat, cloak, and a fishbowl-like helmet. Well perhaps I spoke [...]
Shigurui: Death Frenzy – Review
September 11th, 2009
cello85 Shigurui: Death Frenzy is a twelve episode anime series that nearly covers the initial seven volumes of the Shigurui manga by Takayuki Yamaguchi. I’ll start out the gate by saying, this one isn’t for the kids. No sir. Japanese Anime, widely known for its extremely graphical content, has given birth to a new gem that [...]
