Produced by Studio Madhouse in 2015, Overlord is another entry into the ‘trapped in another world’ light novel adaptation genre. Unlike most of the entries, though, the original writer Kugane Maruyama is an avid fan of tabletop RPGs, the grandfather of video games, so expectations are slightly raised going in. ARE YOU READY TO SUBMIT …

Review: Boruto: Naruto The Movie [Blu-ray]
Just 574 days after their theatrical release, the home media release of Boruto: Naruto The Movie finally hits the UK. Manga Entertainment have made this title available on both blu-ray and DVD. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie when I saw it in the cinema twice back in 2015, but is the movie as good as …

Review: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? This is the first question this show throws at you, and is almost the opposite of what the premise is about. Falling very close to the ‘trapped in another world’ genre, Danmachi got its initial popularity in the west by being compared to …

MCM London Comic Con May 2017 Round Up
This past weekend saw some new anime announcements, and updates on already announced titles, from MVM Entertainment, Universal, and All The Anime. MVM provided their news through social channels, while All The Anime had two panels covering theirs, alongside some Q&A time.

Review: Little Busters Refrain [DVD]
Every time I read the title of this season 2, I keep wanting to make a joke involving the word refrain, it’s just too easy. Little Busters Refrain is the third and final cour of the anime adaptation of Key’s visual novel of the same title. If you’ve already watched the first two cours and …

Review: Charlotte Part One [Blu-ray, DVD]
From the mind that brought you titles such as Angel Beats and Clannad, comes an amazing story that, whilst filled with clichés, is one of my favourite anime of all time. 10/10, more baseball than Little Busters. Yes, it is surprising that after reviewing another Key title and rather disliking it that one of the …

Does the 3 Episode Rule Need to Exist?
In the anime fandom, we have an ingrained idea that all shows can be measured by the same guidelines. There is a system that a lot of people follow called the “3 episode rule.” This states that for every anime you try, you should give it a minimum of 3 episodes to see if it …

Review: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions [Blu-ray]
Back in May 2011, Manga UK brought Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time to theatrical screens across the UK. I, like many others, assumed this would be our final chance to see Yu-Gi-Oh! on the big screen over here. We had no idea that in late 2014 4K Media Inc. would leak news of a new movie …

Review: Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel [Blu-ray]
“Welcome to the world of Pokémon!” This is how the last 15 or so Pokémon movies have started, ever since the western release stopped including Pikachu shorts. With 20 years of history behind the series, including games, a TV show, and card games, I feel certain that you have heard of this Mamoswine of a …

Why the Netflix Model Doesn’t Work For New Anime (At the Moment)
In our new-fangled world of the internet and streaming services, innovative ways of accessing video content have become mainstream, and most consumers enjoy ’binge watching’ shows instead of the weekly format that we are accustomed to. This has its advantages, as it allows you to watch a show at your own pace, not worrying about …
