These are all our reviews. We are constantly watching, and reviewing new anime. In time we will also add the older and classic shows.

All of the reviews you find here are done by fans for fans, we will never give away a plot or tell you half the story so you know what wil happen before you even popped in the tape or DVD. A lot of the shows that we watch are fansubbed show, meaning shows that are captured from TV in japan or taken from a japanese DVD. These shows are then translated and subtitled by fans for fans.

There has been a lot of controversy around fansubs in the past, and I doubt if it will ever be accepted 100%. Right now people are either for (its great, we watch shows that might never be released outside of japan, and we promote the shows that do make it to the western countries) or against (you guys are stealing from the industry by not purchasing originals and promoting such behavior by subtitling them.)

Personaly I am 100% for fansubbing for several reasons. 1. In my oppinion we promote anime as a whole, someone that might not have been convinced to shell out $25 for a tape or DVD downloads a fansubs, watches it and ends up purchasing anime from here on out. I can not begin to tell you how many of my friends, online and offline, have started watching and buying anime after being introduced to fansubbed shows.

Other reason's I prefer fansubbed anime vs. industry subbed anime is speed! I have no idea why it takes an official studio sometimes up to years to complete a translation process, some fansubbed series are released the same day, or the next after a show has aired in japanese television.

Accuracy, ha! fansubbers have no political corectness feature, the best thing about anime is that nothing is held back, that includes language!!

I am not saying the fansubs are a substitute for official releases tho. As soon as a title has been licenced we urge you to stop spreading the fansubbed copy, and purchase the official release.

One thing that official releases will never be equaled in is quality of picture and sound.

Anyway, I'm off. This right side looked extremely empty when I added the list of reviews so I thought I'd fill it up with some of my jabber, it worked out quite nicely.

Have fun, and remember, spread the word, not the disk, ehr , avi.
