Angel's Anime Rating Guide

I took to opportunity to watch  Heartwork ... Yuu Asakura was a mild mannered university student - until he found a mysterious duffel bag with a gun and orders for an assassination. He was terrified at first, but when he held the smooth metal of the pistol in his hand he started to become someone else. Capable of anything, Yuu takes the assassination job and enters a world of nonstop sex, blood and guns. The story was quite intriguing and fairly engaging. There's also a fair amount of blood in the series. More often than not, female characters end up being shot in the face during intimate moments. Except for the parts where female characters find themselves on the wrong end of a gun, almost all of the H scenes are fairly conventional. The animation is a mix of traditional animation and CG backgrounds. The animation quality is noticeably poor in places. I was disappointed that Chief Morikawa, the character pictured on the cover box, doesn't actually have any H scenes. Ove

Recently, I picked up Wordsworth ... God created Light and Shadow and separated them with the power of the divine Wordsworth Tablet. One day, the Wordsworth Tablet shall be read and all will be understood, and Light and Shadow will join and become complete. But someone has shattered the Tablet. The Tribe of Light and the Tribe of Shadow each blame the other and war ensues for 100 years. The story revolves around the bumbling but very skilled Prince Astral of the Tribe of Shadow who may be the one to bring the Tribes together and restore peace. Volume 1 The legend has survived for generation. The Wordsworth tablet, which will unlock the secrets of the Universe for the one who can decipher it, has been shattered. The warring tribes of Light and Shadow blame each other, and their accusations lead to all out war! Astral, the undisciplined heir to the throne of the Shadow Forces, lusts for his bride-to-be, Sharon (Jenna Jameson). But Sharon, an accomplished warrior herself, feels

Yesterday, I picked up  Bible Black ... At a harmless looking college, the teachers and staff are practicing a dark religion. By devoting their bodies to perversity, they chant their dark spells and control the lusts of the student body. Everywhere the students turn, they are drawn to acts of perversion, even in public. Perhaps the school nurse has the answer, as she holds special counseling sessions for the female students. In Bible Black , Minase, a student at a harmless looking college, discovers a book of magic spells. Using the dark magic contained within the book, Minase made a pact with the demonic university nurse, Miss Kitami. By devoting their bodies to perversity, they chant their dark spells and control the lusts of the student body. The story is quite elaborate -- spanning four volumes in the first story arc. Most of the H scenes are fairly conventional, but, there are some scenes of torture in the series that may be a bit much for casual H fans. That being said, ther

A few weeks ago, I happened to catch an episode of a new show on Nicktoons called Making Fiends ... The fiends are unleashed in the complete Season 1, 2-disc set of Making Fiends! Gather 'round for fearsome encounters with Clamburg's resident evil, Vendetta, and her fiendish creations including Grudge, a giant hamster, and Giant Cat, a big, red kitty full of rage. Charlotte's along, too, to bring sunshine to this dismal town, giving Vendetta a new purpose - to rid Clamburg of this jovial interloper. With 18 episodes for over 2 hours of wicked comedy, you'll delight in finding humor in the most obscure situations! The animation is crudely drawn -- the quality is on-par with South Park , but, with less color than South Park . The story-telling, which is what attracted me to the series, is surprisingly good. Although, Nicktoons markets the show as a "kids show", the themes and humor in the series are rather dark -- even though there's no blood or gore, t

Type in the name of one upon which you desire retribution... And it will be served.
