Dragon Half Review

April 8th, 2008 by Nukem999 | 6 comments

My brother always tells me I have a problem only picking OVA animes when I buy them. There almost always way too short and they lack the fan power most long running series has. I enjoy OVA because of the rich characters they feature without dragging them on for 200 episodes, that being said, does Dragon half an only 2 episode anime OVA even stand a chance of being good?

Life is never easy for anyone, except for Mink its much, much worse, see she happens to be a Dragon half: half human half dragon, and its because of her dragon half that Mink gets into so much trouble. Mink's in love with the number one world pop singer, and dragon slayer, Dick Saucer. Unfortunately, because of her dragon nature, Mink fears he will never love her because it is Dick's job to slay dragons. So Mink and her friends go out on a journey to find a magical people potion to make her pure human. Only problem is, Mink's rival Princess Vina, her father the King and a slew of other crazy bad guys will do anything they can to stop and kill her before she finds the potion.

Desert Punk Review

March 28th, 2008 by Nukem999 | 0 comments

One of the hardest types of anime I find are ones about anti-heroes, about bad guys as stars opposed to the good guys. I've only come across 2 shows that have used this idea in my lifetime of anime watching and despite the fact selling (or writing for that matter) a good anti-hero show is insanely difficult, Punk has everything you thought would be in it, and everything you never thought would be in it.

In the great Kanto desert, death and despair are the only things to look forward to in this war torn, criminal ridden landscape. Survival comes to those desperate enough to stab each other in the back for it, and treachery and thievery are the only profitable jobs around. Enter Desert Punk, a greedy, smart mouthed, boob crazy little jack ass whose God like gun skills have earned him the title "Demon of the desert". It's life through the sand stained eyes of Punk as he battles crazed mercenaries, handles insanely dangerous jobs, and does every dirty deed in the book all to make a cheap buck.

King of Bandit - Seventh Heaven

March 18th, 2008 by Nukem999 | 0 comments

After patiently waiting a long freaking time for ADV to get their butts in gear and releasing the last animated form of Jing out on English dubbed DVD, I have to say for the story's sake anyway, it was well worth the wait.

Jing and Kir are finally captured and locked up in a strange, super strong Alcatraz style prison known as "Seventh heaven". Inside prison, Jing is searching for a magical dream thief called Compari and hopes to steal his rare "dream orbs". But when Jing meets up with Compari, he learns the truth to his secret magics and more about himself then he'll ever know.
