Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans – Urðr Hunt Special Edition Anime Film Review

Alice in Wonderland: Dive in Wonderland Film Review

Jan 19, 01:00 4 comments anime This modernized film of Alice in Wonderland is pleasant in places, but it's too mediocre to justify a cinema release. ― Maybe you've had the experience of waking in the early morning, turning on the TV, hopping channels, and stumbling on a kids' fantasy cartoon that you've not seen before; not a TV episode but a stand-alone cartoon special or film. Honestly, it's not a great cartoon in terms of its s... review 2 comments

There's a Japanese fairy tale filled with surreal visuals, a noir detective story portrayed with a black and white color palette and film grain over the top, ... column 40 comments
