In/Spectre The Complete Season promises a combination of supernatural thriller smashed together with amateur detectives and a fair whack of bloody violence. All of which sounds delightfully entertaining, but with a lot out there to compete against it will be a challenge to stand out from the crowd. Set in modern day Japan, In/Spectre The […]

Review: Akira (4k Ultra HD / Blu-Ray Combo) Standard Edition
Akira‘s reputation is perhaps best illustrated by the lack of synopsis on the back of this 4k Ultra HD/Blu-Ray Combo Standard Edition release. For many it doesn’t need one – the image of Kaneda in his red jacket standing before his iconic motorbike being featured on the cover works as effective shorthand to recall images […]

Review: Neon Genesis Evangelion The Complete Series (Blu-Ray)

Review: My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Complete Season 1+2 (Blu-Ray)
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Complete Season 1+2, as the name suggests, brings together the first 2 seasons of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, also known by it’s more palatable translation (at least to me) My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected. On the surface it reads like it has all the makings […]
