Movie/OVA

Towa no Quon – 03

November 24, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, reviews, Towa no Quon
Comments (0)

Towan no Quon continues to traverse some pretty dark territory, and still feels very much at home smack dab in the middle of the BONES tradition. While we still aren’t getting much in the way of background, bits and pieces are continuing to trickle out.  We also saw a continuation […] Read more

Doctor Who Film Confirmed

November 14, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedDoctor Who, Movie/OVA, Television
Comments (4)

As predicted in this space, a big-screen adaptation of Doctor Who has been confirmed. Interestingly, it sounds as if Matt Smith will not play The Doctor and Steven Moffatt won’t be writing, so it doesn’t explain the odd gap in next year’s “Who” schedule. Fans will remember that their were […] Read more

Ao no Exorcist: Tokubetsu Bangai Hen Kuro no Iede (OVA)

November 5, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Ao no Exorcist, Movie/OVA, reviews
Comments (0)

For an OVA I hadn’t even realized was coming until two hours ago, I’m amazed by just how good Tokubetsu Bangai Hen really was. Let’s face it, how much you enjoyed this OVA is probably going to correlate to how much you enjoy Kuro as a character. If you’re one […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – OVA

October 16, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Deadman Wonderland, Movie/OVA, reviews
Comments (0)

When I think of the anime adaptation of Deadman Wonderland, what I think of mostly is missed opportunities.  This OVA certainly isn’t going to change that, but it does show what Manglobe can do with this story when they take on bite-size chunks of it. You wouldn’t know it from […] Read more

Town no Quon – 02

October 13, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, reviews, Towa no Quon
Comments (0)

Towa no Quon returns with a second episode that’s tighter, darker and more focused than the first.  Thanks to solid production values and an outstanding cast, it provides solid entertainment and some fairly effective character drama. In some ways BONES, more than any studio, feels both more firmly rooted in […] Read more

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira OVA – 02

October 11, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Movie/OVA, reviews
Comments (2)

The first thing I need to say is that the second “Kira” OVA is certainly better than the first one.  Truth be told, it would have been hard not to be. Fresh of the heels, of the stupid, offensive and comically bad opener of this OVA series, Higurashi is back, […] Read more

Night on the Galactic Railroad

September 22, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Mawaru Penguin Drum, Movie/OVA, Night on the Galactic Railroad, reviews
Comments (6)

When Mawaru Penguin Drum premièred in July, it sent hordes of anime fans scurrying towards their search engines to find out more about “Night on the Galactic Railroad”.  But this was hardly the first time this influential work has made a splash in Japanese popular culture, and in point of […] Read more

Towa no Quon – 01

September 7, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, reviews, Towa no Quon
Comments (5)

Take Darker Than Black, add a touch of Ghibli and a dash of character designs that look like Leiji Matsumoto and what do you get?  Something perhaps in the mold of BONES’ 6-part movie project, Towa no Quon. There’s an interesting pedigree behind this one.  It was originally the project […] Read more

Summer Days With Coo

June 4, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, Movies, reviews, Summer Days With Coo
Comments (0)

I suppose I went at Keiichi Hara backwards. I started with his most recent work, 2010’s Colorful. That was what piqued my interest in his 2007 film Summer Days With Coo. And I haven’t even dipped my toe into his large cache of Doraemon and Shin-Chan work. The oversight is […] Read more

Colorful

May 31, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Colorful, Movie/OVA, Movies, reviews
Comments (4)

This may not be the first review of Colorful you’ve read – it’s been out on DVD in Japan for over a month now, so I’m a little late to the party. But I loved this one so much I couldn’t possibly let it go by without sharing my praise […] Read more
