Requiem for the Phantom

Posted on October 2, 2011May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

I was left mixed with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.  On one hand, the story was epic and very well paced. On the other hand, Ed and Al were freakin’ muscle heads.  I own the first series; I couldn’t help but compare Brotherhood to it. Time for the usual brief summary. Edward Elric is a State Alchemist, …

Dragonball Z

Posted on August 21, 2011May 24, 2018 by Andrew Kincaid

As regular readers might know, I have my own corner of this site dedicated to Japanese Horror.  Don’t get me wrong I like anime, just not as much as my brother does.  Some of them are cool, and some have decent stories and memorable characters as well.  Many of them though have a lot of…
