DVD Review: Strait Jacket

By Jason | Published: November 23, 2008

In a world where sorcery and science co-exist, the power of magic comes with a price: humans who do not take proper precautions are transformed into horrific demons. Those who destroy these demons - and run the highest risk of all - are tactical sorcerists known as 'Strait Jackets'. But when terrorists unleash a plague of demonic carnage, the Sorcery Management Bureau must enlist unlicensed assassin Leiot Steinberg to stop the slaughter. Even if this rogue killer and a mysterious young girl can end the outbreak, will they be able to face their own dark secrets? Monsters, murder and redemption collide in this explosive anime written by Ichiro Sakaki (Scrapped Princess) and based on his popular novel.

DVD Review: Devilman (Live Action)

By Jason | Published: November 6, 2008

I’ve been obsessed with everything Go Nagai lately, so when I saw that Netflix had the live action Devilman movie, I immediately bumped it to the top of my queue.

Take that you greedy sons 'a bitches!

Major coup for me last night: Devilman and Angel Cop were available on the amazon marketplace for less than $20 each. Considering I've seen the prices doubled in the past, this is a helluva a find. I hope they ship soon. :)

The latest acquisitions

By Jason | Published: October 6, 2008

Saturday was a great day for Animail. There were five packages sitting on the front porch. Three of the artboxes I ordered had arrived: Gun x Sword, Ai Yori Aoshi - Enishi, and Requiem From the Darkness.

Okay, I'm an artbox whore

By Jason | Published: October 3, 2008

It started slowly, as these things often tend to do, as I browsed my recommendations on amazon.com. If you're willing to go for "previously owned" merchandise, you can score some amazing deals. I went ahead and bought the artbox editions of Chrono Crusade, Macross, and Gantz (which had two!) for under $10 each. What do I get out of it? The satisfaction of seeing my series in one nifty art-covered box - and some duplicate DVDs. The duplicates aren't a big deal. I just sell them on amazon's marketplace.

Animail – Saturday edition

By Jason | Published: September 27, 2008

This perplexes me. It's too soon for the order I had shipped to my house (instead of work) to arrive. It's a decent-sized box, too... Since there's no sense in delaying the inevitable, I cut the box open. Inside were the Mermaid Forest DVDs I had ordered through Amazon's marketplace.
