Sponsored review - Sorcerer Hunters: The Complete Series on SD Bluray

Recently, Rightstuf sent me several random anime releases to write reviews for! This is the second and final review I’ll be doing for them. While I did receive these titles for free, that had no influence on my final reviews. Thank you again, Rightstuf, for your support!

There’s a joke among older anime fans that “Record of Lodoss War is what you hope your D&D campaign will be like, Slayers is what your D&D campaign will actually turn out like.” And if that’s the case, well…then Sorcerer Hunters must be what your D&D campaign turns into if some of your players were fans of Urusei Yatsura who maybe got just a little too rowdy.

Twitter giveaway!

Sponsored review - Momotaro: Sacred Sailors Bluray/DVD combo pack

 Recently, Rightstuf sent me several random anime releases to write reviews for! This is the first of the reviews I will post over the next couple of months. While I did receive these titles for free, that had no influence on my final reviews. Thank you again, Rightstuf, for your support!

Momotaro: Sacred Sailors is an extremely important part of animation history: It was the first feature-length Japanese animated film. It was a product of amazing ingenuity–as supplies were scarce during World War II, celluloids were cleaned in acid to be reused over and over until they started to deteriorate. It ended up being a source of inspiration for both Osamu Tezuka AND Leiji Matsumoto, who both saw it at fairly young ages.

It is also a World War II Propaganda film commissioned by the Japanese Naval Ministry aimed at children. 

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 88: ReView: KO Beast

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

This month’s episode is another ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. This month on the podcast: What does "furry” anime, Pokemon, and Critical Role all have in common? Why, a little somewhat forgotten OVA called KO Beast, that’s what! Find out just how as I revisit this fun little 90s fantasy adventure. (Also some rather somber talk at the end of the episode, which I saved for last in case you need to skip it.)
