Posted on January 12, 2008 by bateszi

Be it 1980 or 2008, To Terra…. is just a wonderful story, a timeless one, even, that I can always watch or read and be completely lost in imagination. Continue reading →

Black Blood Brothers – 1 – Elegantly swift bishounen attacks!

Posted on October 9, 2006 by bateszi

I was quite determined to find fault with Black Blood Brothers – I took my fair share of melodramatic bishounen-horror in Night Head Genesis and eventually rejected it, so I feared more of the same from this show. Typically I … Continue reading →

Sci-Fi Harry – Does exactly what it says on the tin

Posted on September 15, 2006 by bateszi

Uneducated and ignorant, my first taste of this most leafy of seasons is the earnestly dubbed “Sci-Fi Harry”. I knew absolutely nothing of this show before today and the only reason I figured I’d give it a try is because … Continue reading →

Night Head Genesis – Psychic bishounen, brotherly love

Posted on August 30, 2006 by bateszi

Psychic bishounen, brotherly love – Night Head Genesis is quite clearly aimed at the yaoi fan girls, yet an over abundance of melodrama and an almost laughably over the top collection of villains fails to render this completely unwatchable. It’s … Continue reading →

Jyu-Oh-Sei – 7 to 9 – Blinded from the truth

Posted on June 17, 2006 by bateszi

It’s taken a while, but I’m finally starting to twig that Jyu-Oh-Sei has an absolutely stellar voice cast. Young Thor was played by Minami Takayama, whose best work comes in the form of the insane, eccentric Dilandau of Escaflowne. Thor’s … Continue reading →

Posted on May 23, 2006 by bateszi

To my frank and utter bemusement, we are now over half way through the 11 episodes of Jyu-Oh-Sei and although a part of me is glad to see every episode crammed full with so much story and character development, I … Continue reading →

Jyu-Oh-Sei – 3 through 4 – Nature bites back

Posted on May 12, 2006 by bateszi

Again I get my hit of Jyu-Oh-Sei in double dosage, and again I’m left feeling completely intoxicated by it. It’s the story that I love; so thick with detail, almost every scene contributes something new or shocking, continuously building on … Continue reading →
