I just realized that I forgot to put the link of for that article on Marvel I told you about. What's worse is that now I can't find the aritcle anymore! D'oh, sorry guys, that was a pretty dumb thing for me to do. I promise I'll try NEVER to do that again! Anyway sorry that there was no new review up on Monday, but I've been a little busy this week and just didn't find time to post the review I have written. So to make up for it there will be TWO reviews posted on Friday! Not only that, but I'll also have an interview posted on Friday too! So now you've got quite a few things to look forward to on Friday. However today I decided to update a couple of reviews with a new "Consumer Advice" box I'm experimenting with. The four reviews that will be the labs rats for this experiment are "Hikaru no Go," "Angel," "Bomber Girl," and "@ Large." Feedback on what you guys all think of this box would be greatly apprieciated (Loved it, hated it, think it could be better, don't care). So anyway with that see you guys on Friday.

Posted a new review today, you are free to go check it out if you would like. Also I have decided to make a "Links" section of my favorite sites out there. I don't know why I made it, maybe I made it because every other freaking web site has a collection of links, and it just feels funny that I don't. So today is the premeir of the link section, and it will be updated without notice weekly. Also there is a very interesting article about Marvel, and some of their problems they are having. It is actually a very interesting read, and I highly recomend you guys check it out. Other then that I guess I should get back to working on my interviews and editorials I have planned (Chances are April is going to be a big month for this site).

Hey everyone, sorry for the late update, but I got kind of busy this morning! Anyway there is the usual new review posted today, along with a new "jump page" where you can jump to a title by the grade it's gotten. I'll be planning more jump menu's like this, so keep an eye out for them.

I went to a local comic book convention yesterday. It wasn't anything really big (Which is why I didn't take any pictures of it, there wouldn't be a whole lot to show), but it was still a lot of fun talking to all the comic book sellers (And even artists such as Ron Lim and Dan Cooney), however there was one thing this paticular show had that the other show I went to didn't: Lot's of anime to watch! And ironically enough, I got to see two of the shows that The Anime News Network preview (As you can see here), and I just HAVE to tell you how much those shows STUNK!!!
First lets talk about "Stellvia of the Universe," which was so boring in many ways that there was a big conversation that everyone got involved with on how much it stunk. The whole episode was spent sitting in a space ship, where a couple of kids were going to learn about space and what not...however since there was no proper character introduct and stereotypical characters this just tended to drag on MUCH longer then it needed to! Then we have "Air High," which is a martial arts show that made fighting look more boring then it ever has before. NEVER WATCH THESE SHOWS!!!!! I kid you not, if anyone here works for an anime company is reading this (doubtful) then please take my advice and don't waste your money on these turds. Pick up "Jubei-Chan 2" instead (Which was also previewed, and was quite excellent might I add), these shows will just lose you money.March 12th, 2004
Yikes! Three updates in one week? I must be on some kind of streak right now for some reason. Well hopefully for you guys this will continue for a couple more weeks before I enter some sort of slump or something (If I do hit a slump can someone please e-mail me and remind me to get off my lazy butt). But anyway, today I have posted an "advance" review of "Hikaru no Go." When I say "advanced" I mean that the first book is not on the shelf, and the series has only begun its serialization in "Shonen Jump" in December (And knowing that they only put in one chapter for the first issue, you can tell the series hasn't gotten far in the series yet). However I was fortunate enough to have read the whole series before Viz picked it up, so I think I can safely review the series as a whole and call it an advanced review. But enough of my rambling already, go read the review!

A special Wensday update for you all, with a special Wensday review posted, on an unusually bad title. Careful around this review, it ain't pretty.

Sorry for not updating on Friday, I was busy making some changes to the site (Mainly replacing the text buttons with flash buttons, which look much nicer then the text did). Anyway there is a new review, and I'll be updating the site with new features over the week, so keep an eye out for these changes. Also it apears that "Magister Negi Magi" will NOT be censored by Bel Ray, so this is great news, and I'd like to thank Del Ray for listening to their fans when it came to this release! Because of this turn of events I will be reviewing the title once again, and my feature on their manga launch will procced as planned.

Sorry about the late update guys, other things came up. Anyway I just wanted to happily state "The Lord of The Rings: Return of The King" is now tied with "Titanic" and "Ben Hur" for receiving the most Oscars for a single film including best film of the year! God it feels good to say that! In other news there is a new review up, and...yeah, that's it. Well, guess you can go check it out if you want. I'll have a better update next time...promise.
