Alex Marshall Anime Video Games

If there is one thing I hate more than a bad anime, is a bad anime video game. And sadly enough, with very little exception, almost every single video game based on a anime series is horrible. Why is that? Well similar to games based on movie franchises, these games don’t have any heart or soul to them. What I mean by that is the same hard work that is put into a good video game or a good anime is not put into these hybrids. Normally what happens is both companies are looking to just make more m… Continue

Alex Marshall Anime Review: Naruto

So today I decided to take on a behemoth of an anime as far as popularity and mainstream attention. I'm talking about The Pokemon or Dragonball Z of the current (pre-teen) generation: Naruto. Naruto is a young boy from the ninja village of Konoha and plans to one day become the Hokage, or strongest ninja in the entire clan. The only thing stopping him is that he is a complete misfit and moron to boot. The one thing that he really has going for him is kind of a double-edged s… Continue

Alex Marshall Anime Review: Vampire Knight

Welcome to a world where humans and vampires have made a truce to try and maintain peace between the two races.

At the same time, two students, Yuuki and Zero serve as prefects, students who attend the Day class, but patrol the school grounds at night to make sure no vampires attack any humans. Welcome to the world of Vampire Knight. This story is t… Continue

Alex Marshall Anime Review: Samurai X: The Movie 3

Another movie in the Rurouni Kenshin saga finds Kenshin with his crew on vacation. They run into another swordsman who rights injustices in the street and befriend him. Only to find out he is a part of a terrorist group planning a rebellion against those in charge of the Manji government as revenge for a massacre of their people. Oh and Kenshin also is responsible for killing this guy’s brother during the war. Personally, I'm a huge Kenshin fan. This movie on the other hand, not so much.… Continue

What happens when a black family from the south side of Chicago moves to the elite suburb society of Woodcrest? Everything you could feasibly imagine. Based on the popular nation wide comic, The Boondocks takes off where Dave Chappelle left off. This show covers every social injustice (racial or not) and makes it into a complete laugh riot.

Alex Marshall Anime Review: Batman Gotham Knight

The producers of Batman Begins & The Dark Knight have gone the way of the Animatrix and developed a sequel/prequel to the two hit blockbuster movies. The twist, this movie is done via anime with six of the greatest anime directors out there. Just like Animatrix, these stories are not necessary to understand the gap between the two films, but it is a nice addition to the story, and allows for further character development as well as relationship development as well… Continue

Alex Marshall Anime Review: Shin Chan

Another Adult Swim show, Shin Chan. This show is centered around a perverted kindergartener and his misadventures. Other characters include his girl obsessed father, his mother who is obsessed with getting breast implants, a loser next-door neighbor who can’t get into college, and many other colorful characters. This is essentially a mature mix of Nickelodeon’s Doug and Rugrats. This show overall is pretty hilarious. From the quality of animation, it seems to be a rather old show, but the write… Continue

Anime News Support the Classics pt. 2

Last post, I mentioned the connection between the classics and the new shows. At the same time, they should not be confused with one another. Some successors are actually pretty good at carrying on in a legacy of quality programming. But not all unofficial sequels are good ones. For example, everyone says that hip-hop is dying; I am inclined to agree. If you have ever heard UGK, Dr. Dre, Mac Dre, The Luniz, The Pharcyde, or even an artist as recent as Eminem, you understand that hip-hop was an… Continue

Anime News Support the Classics pt. 1

So being one of the writers for “Anime News”, I’ve been trying very hard to keep the blogs from being a personal statement, but I can’t help but use the first person for this. So two days ago, my siblings were in town and my future brother-in-law noticed that I was into anime and asked me about the new live action Dragonball movie. The conversation soon turned into a nostalgia session and I went through the entire series with him in great detail. And then I realized what these classic animes hav… Continue

Anime News Machinima: Anime?

Not sure if anyone of you has ever seen Red vs. Blue, but it is a series that is filmed using the Halo series as a means of animation. What started off as a simple viral video series has turned into a major business/international Webisode show. This form of media is called Machinima meaning machine cinema, in which someone uses pre-rendered CGI (i.e. video games) to make a film. Though this isn’t necessarily anime, it still feels like it would fall under this category. Ok, so there isn’t any di… Continue
