It's like she didn't have a single haircut during that seven year gap. Since I haven’t found an appropriate place to mention this yet, I need to say right off the bat that Nia’s hair deserves a special place of notoriety in the halls of bizarre anime hair. I never thought I’d see a do crazier than a third-level Super Saiyan’s, yet here's this girl carrying around a trail of clouds behi..

Last week Naruto himself was out of action, but lucky for us we had Guy sensei in his place. The fight between himself and Kisame is over, with Guy taking the win with a giant tiger head he created with his fists alone. However, Kisame escapes after bitting his own tongue off and overpowering his shackles, but will he come out victorious? The Good Kisame is not giving up yet, even though he..

 If I was a mark, I probably would've been ripped off or shot by now. I admit to it... I suppose I’m getting better at spotting these homages inCOWBOY BEBOP. I was going to comment on how much the shoot-out in the church at the end of this one reminded of the one in THE KILLER and, according to a certain online database, this episode was meant to pay tribute to the cumulative works of John Wo..

 The resemblance is pretty striking. AgentJ: Something that gets brought up frequently, and surprisingly, with a lot of emotion, is that many anime (and video game)charactersthat come out of Japan don't look "japanese".

 You've got to give it to the girl. She knows how to accessorize.  Many of you Anime Vice lunatics have been asking me to read some manga for the site. Wouldn’t you know it? Whiskey sent me a copy of CMX’s DIAMOND GIRL Vol. 1 a while back and I finally got a chance to peruse it. Before I get to anything else, I want you all to clarify something for me. Clarify it emphatically. Is this sho..

Does it HAVE to be about policy and bureaucracy all the time? Can't they just chill like this? It would figure that even a series that’s been lighter and more straightforward than most other anime I’ve seen would still have an entire episode devoted to deep philosophical metaphysics. You really can’t have mecha without it, can you? I do remember a lot of you lunatics telling me to keep m..

 *SNIFF * There really is no need for promise.  sotyfan: Can the soundtrack make the anime? From what you have seen and heard does the music impact your thoughts on the anime? What's your favorite anime song and what series has the best score in your opinion? Funnily enough, I actually just wrote something about this at Comic Vine. I think music’s crucially important but, given the lack ..
