Summer Wars Review (Blu-Ray release)

PDFPrintE-mail

summerwarsblurayMaybe I'm going about this the wrong way by bringing the conclusion to the start. But, there is only one thing to say about this movie: you will be disappointed if you miss this one.  I can easily see why it got so many awards as it has plastered across the top of the cover. Summer Wars brings a wholesome yet very relevant original story from the same director of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time"; a large cast of engaging characters in a somewhat dysfunctional family; and a gorgeous visual presentation of "real life" plus jaw-dropping out-of-this-world CGI segments (if you've got Blu-Ray I can definitely recommend the Blu-Ray version).

Macross II review

PDFPrintE-mail

 

macrossiimovieusAnother "old school" movie, another good story, decent characters, plenty of action and classic art makes this a worthwhile watch. Some may say that this instalment is not "official" Macross canon (including Wikipedia), but I don't really care. There are many hints and references back to the original Macross saga that get picked up here in Macross II, so if it isn't canon it is a pretty good spin-off for an alternate universe. To be fair, I couldn't call this a "movie" as it really tops-and-tails the six OVA episodes by taking out the start/end credits and episode previews/reviews. This may make for some jarring transitions between episodes, but doesn't upset the overall flow of the show.

Soul Eater Collection 4

PDFPrintE-mail

 

souleater4palThis collection brings together the final part of the series in episodes 40 to 51. Arachne has now unleashed the Kishin madness virus which could overtake the world in five days! After cutting a deal with Medusa the DWMA has been dispatched to try and stop the spread. Maka is having a crisis of confidence early on and, unsure of her abilities, becomes despondent and distrustful. The drama ramps up several notches and people get injured badly. Death turns his city into a robot, as does Arachne.

Birdy the Mighty: Decode Collection 2 — 4 stars

PDFPrintE-mail

 birdydecode2pal

Collection 1 was a surprise for good reason, and I was looking forward to see if Collection 2 keeps up the standard. Does it ever, and it exceeded my expectations by a long shot. We have a new bunch of escaped criminals related with the release of the Ryunka virus from Collection 1. We have a new childhood friend for Birdy, Nataru, who has a secret of his own. We get a lot more back-story to Birdy, her childhood, early training, and lead-up to several significant events that were alluded to in Collection 1. This means a rollicking good story with plenty of action.

Testimonials

  • I've been buying from The Cartoon Gallery since 2000. Always great to deal with.
  • I have been a customer of The Cartoon Gallery for 5 years. They have always been reliable and efficient with the delivery of their products.
  • I've been a client of Michael's since sometime in the 1990s. He is totally honest and reliable. A delight!
  • I have been dealing with Michael for over 10 years. I have lost count how many DVDs I have bought off him. I have certainly bought many hundreds of Anime DVDs over that time and have always been very happy with the service I have received. Michael has always set his prices at a reasonable level and has always delivered in a prompt and timely fashion. Michael always hand wraps all his parcels and uses plenty of bubble wrap to make sure that the DVDs arrive safe and sound.

    One good thing about Michael is that he will always order anime DVDs that are not listed on his site. Over the years I have ordered many, many anime DVDs that were not listed on the site. Michael has always gone out of his way to get the DVDs for me, even though they weren't listed. I have always been very impressed with the personal style of service that Michael always delivers. Needless to say, I will continue to order DVDs from Michael for many years to come.


Blu-ray anime DVDs

Oz anime permanent price reductions!

The good folks at Madman have announced some permanent price reductions on selected Australian anime titles. Sure, these ones have been around for a while, but saving some money is a good thing, right Smile

Some US anime titles which you might have missed

search_databaseOne of the challenges when you have a web site which contains a lot of titles is that many of the good ones tend to get buried amongst all the dross. I presently have about 1,800 US anime DVDs listed, along with about 900 Australian ones. The following list is non-hentai titles which are not available in Australia, but which I should still be able to get from the US. Happy hunting!
