Anime released in the UK for 03/03/2008

Late due to Minamicon.

Naruto: The Lost Story

What is this? A Jump Festa OAV? It’s cheaply priced, so if you are a big Naruto fan, go knock yourself out. Otherwise getting the film is probably a better bet, as at least the dumb ninja fun is delivered with sassy animation.

Elemental Gelade: Vol.6

I always want to call this Elemental Gerald. Last volume I believe.

Gun Sword: Vol. 7

This has the look of a show created with one eye on the US market. Last volume of this too I believe. Both this and Elemental Gerald are anime shows that are just there. They look like they’ve been designed by marketeers and you can’t imagine them ever being anyone’s favourite show. They just seem to have been produced because the anime industry needed to produced a certain amount of anime in year.

Blood The Last Vampire

Looks like a budget reissue, given the short running time six quid is a much better price for this. Despite some nice animation, the story is very shallow.
