Paul takes on the frequently frustrating melodrama of the classic shojo series, "Boys over Flowers." Plus, all this week\'s new releases! ― I can tell we\'re still a long way away from the heart of winter because I still feel annoyed instead of relieved when the forecast predicts more snow than we actually get. If it\'s going to snow, let\'s skip all the inconsequential flurries and get on with it! (Let...

Prison School is a gleefully gross adventure that succeeds by embracing its own smutty soul. Nick Creamer has the details. ― It\'s hard to say what makes for a “good fanservice show.” After all, some of the things that people seek from fanservice run directly counter to the qualities generally valued in other shows. Gratuitous fanservice tends to ruin an audience\'s ability to take a story or its chara...

Despite its title, this little-known 2012 movie is more character drama than action-adventure. Theron Martin takes a look at this low-key gem. ― The story behind this 2012 movie is not a recent one; it\'s based on a 1973 sci fi novel which saw four live-action TV adaptations and two live-action movie adaptations scattered across the \'80s and \'90s, but the prominent role that cell phones play in both t...

The spicy boy-meet-girl-monsters manga comedy Monster Musume has been a hit since it slithered sexily from the mind of artist OKAYADO. You could call it a harem manga, but you\'ve never seen a harem like this one. It starts with a bird-girl, a snake-girl and a horse-girl, and then it gets really strange. All these ladies are flying, clopping and otherwise perambulating to Japan as part of a govern...

Let\'s face it: clowns aren\'t funny, they\'re

, especially in the bizarre worlds of anime. You\'ll definitely want to keep these seven freaks away from your next birthday party. ― Clowns as a horror device are relatively new. You can thank Edgar Allen Poe, Ruggero Leoncavallo\'s

opera, and actual clown serial killer John Wayne Gacy for planting the seed and of course, Stephen King\'s ...

Jotaro Kujo is the latest Joestar to take up the mantle of a bizarre adventure. How does this third Jojo stack up against the previous two? ― It can sometimes feel like a shame for an author to kill off a particularly excellent bad guy. Thinking about it in that light, it\'s impressive that Hirohiko Araki was able to keep Dio Brando, the arch-nemesis of Jonathan Joestar and the man responsible for his...

It\'s a movie that edits together footage from a TV show you\'ve already seen - what\'s the purpose of "Compilation Films" like Gurren Lagann\'s? Justin explains. ― Ryan asks: Why are compilation films of anime series in Japan so popular and why are they rarely licensed in the US? I just don\'t get it. Compilation films of TV anime have been made since at least the 1970s. They once filled an important ne...

One Piece Film Gold has taken the world by storm - and it\'s coming to select US theaters January 10. We got to chat with the staff of the Straw Hat Pirates\' latest smash hit! ― At this year\'s Barcelona Manga Fair, One Piece Film Gold staff members Hiroaki Miyamoto (director), Masayuki Sato (character designer and animation director), and Hiroyuki Sakurada (producer) sat down with us to talk about th...

This 3DS game is a goofy mashup of characters, places, and memorable flourishes from every corner of Dragon Ball. Todd Ciolek takes a look. ― Dragon Ball Fusions says a lot in its title. It\'s ostensibly about the art of fusion, which in Dragon Ball canon finds two or more character blending themselves into a more powerful being. Yet it could refer to the game just as easily, as this 3DS game is a goo...
