Tenchi Muyo!: War on Geminar Part 2 Blu-ray Review

This entry in the Tenchi Muyo! universe wraps up with an equally disappointing video transfer and ramped up mecha action that feels borrowed from other franchises.

Shakugan no Shana III: Final Parts 1 & 2 Blu-ray Review

The Shakugan no Shana saga comes to end with the third season, wrapping up some of the storylines tightly, some not so much. The action-packed series finale, offered in two separate packages from FUNimation, leaves just enough of an opening for it to return one day.

Shakugan no Shana S: OVA Blu-ray Review

These four Shakugan no Shana OVA episodes will be a must for fans of the anime series, but they are mostly stand-alone stories with no uniting story arc. Newcomers to the franchise would be better served starting with season one or the movie.
