Love, the Atlantian way

Advantages: Another brilliant season from Atlantis
Disadvantages: it has to end at some point

.... . . ---What is Stargate Atlantis?--- Put simply, SG Atlantis is a spin off of the incredibly successful Series Stargate SG-1, which is a spin-off of the movie Stargate (confused yet?) The movie centres around the discovery of what they call the Stargate. The Stargate is a huge ring with nine pretty little pictures on it. It works like an old telephone in that you choose your numbers (the pretty pictures), hit dial and the ring spins and what ...
...it, I congratulate you! Stargate SG-1 expands on the idea that life on earth was not started here. It was, in fact, brought here by an extremely advanced alien race. This race happened to be a tad on the evil side and used humans as slaves and carriers for their young (slithery snake type things) as was touched on in the movie. How do they bring it back without ruining the movies ending? Simple! They discover that there is more than one destination. ...

Get Backers

Advantages: Great Storyline from the manga
Disadvantages: Nothing bad :)

Based on the popular manga, this is the animated version still carrying the legacy of the famed manga. It's about two men with the simple wish of being rich. Midou Ban can make people hallucinate and has the gripping power of 200kg, while his partner Amano Ginji can generate electricity throughout his body. The story is all about their escapades while retrieving the objective of their mission. Throughout their mission, they encounter new and old ...
...in one way or another. The amazing aspect of this anime are the transitions of the story. Although short, you can quickly go with the flow. One more great feature is the amazing abilities that each character possesses, some of them are even superhuman. An example is Dr. Jackal Akabane Kuroudo, who's fond of killing and has an intense thirst for blood which he relates to Midou who he says is just the same as him. As for the sounds, the BGM is always ...

Compelling Anime

Advantages: Good storyline, deep and thought-provoking, everything!
Disadvantages: Not Much!

...- setting the scene... ----------------------------------------- Ergo Proxy (or for those hardcore anime-fans, エルゴプラクシー) is based in a fictional futuristic city named Romdo, which is a supposed utopia, built by its citizens after a universal ecological disaster. In this 'bubble', humans and androids (called AutoReivs, or AutoRaves) live together in harmony under a totalitarian management. ...
...The good stuff... ---------------------- Ergo Proxy is the futuristic sci-fi and the high-class creation of Ghost in the Shell with the feel of George Orwell's '1984' all gathered into one. The mood of the entire anime is grungy and dark, and sometimes ambiguous, which leads to the viewers being totally hooked to try and unravel and mysteries of the clues being found. There were times that I needed to rewatch parts of it, with the amount of information ...

ERGO PROXY series review

Advantages: Best series ive seen in a long while

...the cinema screens in 1979, Mad Max has stood the test of time. The film was as mentioned earlier in the review, the first in the three Mad Max films and Max Kotanski is the archetypal anti-hero. The plot of this, the first Mad Max movie is fast moving and well paced. The acting is to be fair a little wooden in places, yet the actual action scenes are very graphic and well thought out. The plot builds tension as the story unfolds and has you fearing ...
