The Punisher is a return to form for the MCU’s Netflix division, and one of the best shows I’ve watched all year. It’s uncompromisingly violent, sure, but it also tells a great story, with several characters intertwined in a big conspiracy that gets out of hand. Good plot twists, set pieces and most importantly, great actors/actresses mean this is highly recommended by me, personally. Let’s take a final and overall look at what I hope is the first of many seasons…
And so I come to the end of my run through of the Persona anime adaptations with an overall look at the Persona 4 series. It was well paced, with action at the start and end, with plenty of comedic antics in the middle, but was it a satisfying series overall? Read on! Continue reading
After a short delay to re-subscribe to the main range, we’re back with the trio of the Sixth Doctor, Constance and Flip. Tackling the “problem” of older people’s role in our society, The Middle does a good job of tackling this issue while also creating a very alien yet believable dystopian society. Not without flaws, but pretty damn good! Let’s take a look!
My review of all 12 episodes of GANGSTA. released on blu-ray here in the UK is now up on Anime UK News, and can be found HERE. Fun series, shame about the ending…
The Punisher’s first season comes to suitably brutal end as Frank Castle gets his gory revenge on those who wronged him. Also, other things happen! Let’s take a look at the last four episodes of the season, and see if the ending lives up to the strong rest of the season.
Persona 4 – The Animation comes to a conclusion with its last five episodes (plus an OVA episode 26) and it does a good job of wrapping up the action side of the story, but seriously skimps out on the social aspect of the series. How much does it effect the story overall? Read on!
So we did a contemporary Earth invasion and a pseudo-historical, so what’s left on the Russell T. Davies hit list? Oh yeah, a story entirely in space! Throw in the 10th Doctor’s first encounter with the Ice Warriors and you’ve got a fun, if not a bit plain, story. Let’s finish off the 10th Doctor adventures – Box 2, shall we?
My review of the new UK blu-ray release of Dragon Ball Z Movies 3 and 4 is now up on Anime UK News, and can be found HERE. Get ready for a lot of these, it looks like Manga Entertainment are releasing these two-film sets monthly!
So we had an “present day Earth” invasion story, so what’s up next? Well, it a story where the Doctor meets an historical figure and gets into alien-based hijinx, obviously! Big Finish continue to nail the feel of Russell T. Davies era Who, and create a good story to boot! Let’s have a look!
My review of the 30th Naruto Shippuden box set (that’s actually just a standard 13 episode two-disc release) is now up on Anime UK news and can be viewed HERE.
