Comic Party Revolution
Picked up the Comic Party Revolution thinpak collection. I originally watched Revolution through Netflix. It’s not great anime and probably not even mediocre anime, but it’s the kind of show I can easily put in the DVD player and watch again while doing other things like alphabetizing my CDs and breaking down those Hobby Search [...]
Le Chevalier D’Eon, Series Review
Le Chevalier D’Eon scored well with me on a lot of notes in the beginning. The story borrows the setting of pre French Revolution Europe, uses the history and historical figures, twists them up, throws in zombies and wizards called poets in an intrigue filled plot.

If Beck Stumbles, If Beck Falls

I’d Love to See This
Wow, saw this link to a Princess Tutu by BUBBA while browsing the AoD Forums. Can’t believe I missed this from November, but I can’t wait to see her finished: Hope it gets a PVC. It would be my most prized figure…I’ll probably never get my wish though. I seriously hope those who are going [...]
