“East meeting West” isn’t exactly the newest of concepts out there. For as long as I can remember, there has always been some kind of attempt at combining the two incredibly different cultures, whether it is a “fish out of water” type of story, or just in the sense that a story is told or displayed in a fashion similar to the other’s. In some cases, this has been successful. For others, well… … and now, after what seems like…
… okay, maybe it wasn’t exactly the best time to give such early praise to Haruhi Suzumiya’s second season. As of late, we have been given a total of five new episodes, though I am currently wishing I only saw three of them. The season starts of strongly enough, with Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, which does of a good job of re-introducing the cast after a three year hiatus, but after that, things get a bit… meh. Enter the Endless Eight….
When I was younger, I used to be obsessed with the Power Rangers, a show which until recently I was completely unaware was based on the Japanese Super Sentai series. As I grew older, and as American companies adjusted their tastes to even more Japanese shows, I ended up picking up on shows like Pokemon and Sailor Moon, both which played back to back on the WB at the time. As anime began to take over the minds of the…
Wh-whaaa? The ARevelation crew actually keeping up to date with their reviews? You’re darn right we are! For stupid legal reasons, I gotta say that this review was originally from my movietome.com review under the username petewrigley. Great, another place to stalk me… While Pixar movies in general depict quite the environment filled with colors, hues and images you would only expect to see in a doctor’s office waiting room poster, “Up” really sets the standard. All Pixar movies preceding…
“Classic Review?” “Rewind Review?” Well, whatever title we decide on, just know that every now and then, we’ll be dusting off the ol’ delorean to go back in time and review some of the animated works from back in the day that stood out to us. So without further ado… Instead of having bedtime stories told to me when I was younger, I was raised watching videos before going to bed. My video collection, while not as gigantic as my…
After having to make the ever-so-difficult decision of choosing whether to get Avatar Book 3 or the latest DBZ Double Feature, I finally decided to go with the former. At least then I can say that I actually completed one of my DVD series. Packaging: Looking at the packaging, it looks like the designers have done a good job of keeping things consistent with the previous two sets. However, one nitpick I found was that some logos were moved around…
While it feel like it goes without saying, there will be SPOILERS ahead: So this is it. The one new alien that Ben has yet to transform into has finally debuted. But was it played off well? Um… yes and no. Having expecting some kind of super spectacular appearance of Ben’s new alien, I was a bit disappointed when we get him right off the bat, showing up less than ten minutes into the episode. Having had his daughter kidnapped…
DaemonCorps @ 12:25 pm PST — For the handful of y’all who have actually discovered this blog, don’t worry, we haven’t all been killed off by the mob or anything. With Avaitor still working on his review for Freakazoid Season 1, I figured I’d distract you with not only a nice new banner for the blog, but a review of my own for Tiny Toon Adventures Season 1, Volume 1. If you grew up in the late eighties or early…
