ANIME ROUND-UP

Must GET

Sure, we could ask Shenlong for something worthwhile, like Mobile Suits to assist in emergency situations or even just to assist with manual labour, or we could ask for the real world creation of Sword Art Online's Nerv Gear. Yep, forget all of that helpful nonsense, what I want is a headset which transports your psyche into a massive multiplayer online role playing game. Why? Because I still have an infinitesimal portion of my soul which hasn't Anime Tech that I Want In My Life involved, let's get Capsule Corp on the phone and organise capsule shelters which can literally pop into existence from an item resembling a Panadol. A duffle bag worth of these things could provide emergency accommodation for people displaced by war or other types of emergencies. See, I'm not a total monster. However, it'd also make camping much easier. I can never figure out how to successfully un-pop my pop-up tent. Finally, let's get to work on making cyber brains a thing. Sure, it always seems to end in tears in Ghost in the Shell, but I feel as though this is the only way that I'll ever manage to finish a sudoku puzzle – by downloading the answers into my brain. been given to Final Fantasy.

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

Cat Series Collection tells the story of Koto and Tsukiko, both of whom track down a mysterious statue which is said to remove an individual’s undesirable personality trait. The only problem is that there seems to be an almost alchemical part to the story wherein the statue demands equivalent exchange. This series, Blast of Tempest Complete Collection , is almost impossible to describe purely because of how ambitious it is. Thematically Shakespearean elements are lifted and used in both period plot pieces and disembodied moments in time and space. As with Shakespeare, you can expect tragedy to envelop this story with characters who are well fleshed out as well as wonderful animation by BONES. In a complete change of pace, Haikyuu!! Part 2 hits the shelves and kicks off just after the fledgling team's first real practice game against Nekoma High School. Full of vim and vigour, the boys are ready to take on the world, or at least other high school kids in the inter- school tournament. This continues to be one of the best sports anime around! Collecting episodes 176-187, Fairy Tail Collection 16 takes things to another level. Just when you thought that the Grand Magic Games couldn’t get any more epic, a threat of even greater concern faces the Fairy Tail guild. Keep your eyes peeled for what just may be the most awesome 1 on 1 battle of the series thus far; Erza vs Kagure.

W hen I was in Japan in April this year, the place was abuzz with Super Saiyan fever. Okay, maybe just the geeky places like Akihabara and Ikebukuro but even still there was undeniable excitement for the release of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' which gets a release on DVD and Blu Ray this month. Serious, there was merchandise everywhere! Just ask my bank account. Just when things seemed to be somewhat peaceful for Goku and the gang, Frieza is back with one final trick up his dastardly sleeve: he has achieved yet another 'final' form. Hozuki, the namesake of the Hozuki’s Coolheadedness Series Collection , is more or less the 2IC to Enma, the lord of Hell. Considering his position as the anti-Saint Peter, Hozuki is not so much a vicious arch-demon, but more so a bureaucrat who is just trying to get his job done. Like any bureaucrat, he’s bound by systems and policies which hamper his ability to perform his duties, so why not just bend the rules? It is hell, after all. In a twist of the usually Freaky Friday scenario, The Hentai Prince and the Stony
