Review: Black Butler: Book of Circus (Blu-Ray)
Black Butler is one of those oddities that somehow successfully combines ridiculous moments that are just so… anime, and profound scenes that can leave you speechless. Rounded off with action that places you on the edge of your seat, it’s not a stretch to say that this series is a masterpiece. However, that term is subjective, and I am well aware that Black […]

Parasyte is a science fiction/horror/action manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, published from 1988 to 1995 in only 10 volumes. This is a lot less than all the popular manga these days that go over 20 or 30 volumes. The Japanese movie industries enjoy making successful manga/anime/novel into live adaptations and so in October 2014, Part 1 of […]
Review: The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat (DVD)
It was difficult to call it until I watched through it a second time, but The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat is a pretty good anime. The plot follows Yokodera Youto, who is for all intents and purposes, a massive pervert like ninety percent of guys his age. Plot stuff ensues with the main female […]
