Green Fingertips - Fruit And Veg (DVD)

Advantages: Fantastic characters, great and original story line.
Disadvantages: That the anime only covers so little of the manga story.

...rare occasions where I preferred the English dub to the Japanese with English subtitles. Main reasons being that I disliked the Japanese cast for Yuki Sohma, and that the English cast did the series justice and didn't sound wooden at all. Music: The background music (BGM) fit the series well, and is for the most part light and pleasant. Nothing special, though, even the opening and ending theme are non spectacular. So though it fits well, Fruits Basket isn't a series I would buy the soundtrack for. Value for money: Amazing. Seriously, this disc has the first 6 half-hour episodes. It is a 26-part anime series, and fits on 4 discs total (you can also buy a special boxed set of the 4) whereas most 26-part series' can drag them out for 7 or even 8 if they're clever (a la Escaflowne). From manga to anime: As with most anime series Fruits... Read review

Advantages: Erm, none?
Disadvantages: Everything you could possibly imagine.

...Without being entirely ignorant, there are always certain films that I anticipate seeing more than others. After the pretty dreadful Green Street, I'd be lying if I said hearing the rumours about a straight-to-dvd sequel had me, in any way, twitching in extreme anticipation. Green Street 2 tracks the members of rival firms West Ham United and Millwall, who are now serving time in a tough prison for their fighting in the previous film. After wasting an hour and half of my life to watch this pathetic attempt at filmmaking, I can conclude that my instincts were indeed right. Firstly, how they can even call it a "sequel" is way beyond me, as it contains just one actor from the first film- Dave (and no, I can't remember him either). The violence is explicit, but poorly choreographed; never exciting or partly intriguing. The acting I... Read review

Disadvantages: Some of the packaging, some things expensive

...of lovely goodies. We ordered the small veg box, fruit box and a cartoon of semi-skimmed. In our veg box was potatoes, onions, carrots, broad beans, spinach, vine tomatoes, mushrooms and wet garlic. Our fruit box contained strawberries, apples, oranges, kiwis and bananas. Other items which we have received over the past couple of months include cabbages, cauliflowers, purple-sprouting broccoli, aubergines, courgettes, spring greens, pears, mangos and melons. As you can see there?s a fair bit of variety. The great thing about Riverford is the variety of fruit and veg which you receive. Having the box delivered with no choice over its contents means that you try new things and I?ve discovered that I like things that I thought I really disliked. Yes, I hear you say, that?s all great but does it taste any good? Well yes, it tastes very good. I... Read review
