High School of the Dead: Not Just T&A

At first glance, High School of the Dead seems like animated softcore porn with zombies. It’s full of gratuitous shots of boobs and butts. But if you look past bouncing tits and spread crotches, you will see a George Romero zombie movie infused with anime elements. That’s right. I said it.

The same social commentary found in George Romero zombie movies is found here. You just have to dig deeper and get past the T&A.

Stubby Movie Review: Afro Samurai – Resurrection

This entry is part 5 of 15 in the series Stubby Movie Reviews

This movie just reminded me why I have a love-hate relationship with anime. First, let me tell you the things that I like about Afro Samurai: Resurrection:

  • a be-afroed samurai dude who cuts up people like they’re nothing
  • a samurai dude wearing a teddy bear head
  • a group of vengeful cyborg samurais
  • a hot psychotic chick with huge knockers

And now for the things I don’t like:

  • EVERYTHING ELSE

I mean, seriously. I love the crazy characters and the awesome battles, but I just can’t stand all the posturing and the looooooooooong repetitive monologues. Oy. It was annoying.
