Angel's Anime Rating Guide

I was out and about looking for new and wonderful anime and guess what came home with me instead... Working from within a secretive section of Space Academy, a daring soldier of fortune named Jason joins with his friends to combat the sinister forces that conspire to dominate the stars. Jason is aided on his missions by Commanders Carnavin and Stone, computer expert Nicole, strong alien Samantha, eccentric scientist Dr. E.J. Parsafoot, and two robots, Peepo and the portable W1K1. Together they face the evil machinations of Dragos - the self-proclaimed "Master of the Cosmos" - and his alien minions aboard the Dragonship. Believe it or don't...

My interest in anime started long before I knew what anime was -- with TV shows like Marine Boy , Speed Racer , Battle of the Planets and Starblazers . All of the aforementioned series used to be re-run on local TV stations for many years while I was in my formative years. They were unlike any

I've just picked up Babylon 5: The Lost Tales ... Times change. Dangers remain. 10 years after he became President of the Interstellar Alliance, Sheridan prepares for a fateful Babylon 5 reunion that could prevent Earth's impending doom...if he will also compromise his core principles. Meanwhile, commander Lochley confronts an unexpected interloper on the way station - a being whose presence makes the B5 freeport the crossroads between heaven and hell. In Voices in the Dark, Series creator J. Michael Straczynski reunites with stars Bruce Boxleitner and Tracy Scoggins in two richly imagined stories set after the events of the original series. Richly imagined, too, is Straczynski's vision of the 23rd century (including a dazzling New York City) - a vision made more spectacular via filmmaking technology unavailable during the original series. To start with, thanks to advances in technology, the CG effects are much better. But, aside from a fresh coat of paint, there's n
