I really enjoyed this film, with little slow down, but not as bad. Characters feel fleshed out and funny in moments, but there are scenes that flash near the end of the film. I'm not sure if I will be able to continue my opinions because I feel that I'm

Will Fuu's mother allow Fuu to move to Tokyo or will she try to keep her Takehara? The reason I had to put all "Tamayura" films into one review because alone they were good alone, but to fully watch as one film. I liked this heartwarming film, but all felt short if I were to review as one. Wishing there was more to the story. Rating: ☆☆☆☆             See it

Now that both parties pact is in the possess of renewal, but the Black World will do anything in their power for any renewals. An agent and a shapeshifter try to make sure that plans go accordingly. Will the agent and the shapeshifter be able to get the peace treaty renewed? Questionable character decisions and annoying as well as the story drags far too long. Rating: ☆☆☆             Rent it

Alternate Name: 吸血鬼バンパイアハンターD ブラッドラスト (Banpaia Hanta D: Buraddorasuto) Director: Yoshiaki Kawajiri Year: 2000 Trailer: Baron Meier Link abducts a young maiden, Charlotte, to be his loving wife. The vampire isn't known to harm anyone, unless needed. Elbourne, Charlotte's father, hires D to rescue her safely. However, if D must kill Charlotte if she is turned into a vampire. At the same moment, Charlotte's older brother also hires a group of vampire hunters known as the notorious Marcus brothers. Will both hunters work together or will they just clash until the job is done? I enjoyed the first film with mostly fluent story, but the second just feels flat and basically the same as the first film in a way. Count Magnus Lee felt more of a threat than Baron Meier Link, Lee had a purpose while Link doesn't. Possibly due to the story plot or how some characters are just that dull. I believe that this could have been shorted than what the running time

Alternate Name: 吸血鬼バンパイアハンターD (Banpaia Hanta D) Director: Toyo Ashida Year: 1985 Trailer: Doris Lang, finishing up on a patrol of the country side; was attacked by Count Magnus Lee to become his wife. The next day Doris encounters a mysterious person riding on his horse. Making sure that the man is a true vampire hunter, which he was and she hired him to protect her from Count Lee. In the town square with her little brother Dan, Doris and D were confronted by Greco Roman, the mayor's son. Things get heated that Greco asked Doris that he could help her, but she refused. Will D be able to kill Count Lee or will Doris become Count Lee's wife? This film felt like a game to me. I didn't like how some scenes just jump wished they could've used more fluent transitions. That's my basic gripe about the film, story is a little slow, but doesn't slow to a crawl. Rating: ☆☆☆☆             See it

Alternate Name: バイオ・ハンター (Baio Hanta) Director: Yuzo Sato Year: 1995 Viewer discretion is advised Trailer: Two molecular biologists in Japan, Komada and Koshigaya, both try to cure a demonic virus. The demonic virus turns its host into a demon. Any body part could have a head, morph into beasts, etc. Trying to vaccinate one of their hosts, Koshigaya is infected by the demon virus. Will Komada and Koshigaya find the cure of this demon virus or will Koshigaya lose control and rampage throughout Japan? This film as is felt alright, but I believe it would've been played out a little better story wise. Not enough character development or likability. Another thing that bugged me was Komada's mustache. I thought it should have been thicker or just removed altogether. Rating: ☆☆☆             Rent it

Director:  Masakazu Hishida Year: 2016 Trailer:  At the Over The Rainbow stadium, the Prism show proved to be a success. Everyone practices for the Prism King Cup that's held every four years. A rival group plans to defeat the Prism Kings. Which team will win the girls hearts? I had a hard time following the confusing storyline. This film kind of turned me off with 3D and 2D animations. I believe they should have went with either 3D or 2D but not both. Rating: ☆☆ Skip It

Unexpectedly, Saori and the butler are attacked on the bridge by Saints. Arriving at the scene the Bronze Saints counter the other Saint's attacks. Will the Bronze Saints figure out the Saori's mysterious powers? I thought that the beginning and the ending of this film felt weak, but the middle

Alternate Name:  聖闘士星矢 天界編 序奏 ~overture~ (Seinto Seiya Tenkai-hen Joso ~Overture~) Director: Shigeyasu Yamauchi Year: 2004 Trailer: After defeating Hades, Seiya, being wounded and motionless in a wheel chair with little to no chance of recovery. Artemis, Athena's older sister as well as the Virgin Goddess of the Moon along being a twin sister to Apollo.  Apollo makes a deal by restoring Seiya back to health, but in exchange to rule the supremacy of the sanctuary. Athena accepts the deal and Artemis and her "Knights of the Sky" take control of the sanctuary. Will Athena and Seiya be able to retrieve the supremacy of the sanctuary back? The only thing that I liked from this film was the animation, but if you seen the previous films it's basically the same thing. Rating: ☆☆ Skip It

Alternate Name: Director: Masayuki Akehi Year: Trailer: Arriving at the Sanctuary, Lucifer sends out his Fallen Angels to destroy the surviving group of the Gold Saints. In the meantime Athena pleads with Lucifer to stop all his dirty deeds and to have peace for everyone. While doing her pleading she is placing herself in a dangerous trap. The Bronze Saints go rescue Athena, but also defeating the Fallen Angels in the process. It felt a little better as in action, Athena not being a damsel in distress, battles aren't too short. The fights feel more natural than being rushed. Rating: ☆☆☆             Rent it
