Review Reboot 3 (Dub) / Adv Films:Enzo Matrix, who has grown up to be a sullen, muscular hero, continues to search for Bob, his Defender friend and hero. He's accompanied by Andraia, now a curvaceous babe in a revealing costume. They take up with Capitain Capacitator, a. k. a. Crimson Binome, a pirate of the "aargh, matey" school; his motley crew; and "web surfer" Ray Tracer, whom Matrix regards as a potential rival. As they journey through cyber-dimensions, Andraia receives a life-threatening bite from a "web creature," then Capacitator's ship, the Saucy Mare, is attacked by a host of strange-looking "Web Riders," whose leader turns out to be Bob. After reviving Andraia, Bob heads the ship back to continue the war against the evil Megabyte. The animation lacks any sense of weight-a problem with motion-capture computer graphics: despite all the elaborate visual patterns, tracking shots, and reflections, the characters move like marionettes. There are also numerous story problems: e. [+]
g. when the Saucy Mare is attacked by "pixels," the Web Riders and Tracer defeat them with some sort of light beams that are never explained. The first computer-animated network series, Reboot has its fans (thanks in part to the show's exposure on the Cartoon Network), who are the obvious audience for this disc. Contains these episodes: 9. "The Return of the Crimson Binome," 10. "Edge of Beyond," 11. "Web Riders on the Storm/Interface," 12. "Mousetrap. " Rated "suitable for all ages," but violence and grotesque imagery are inappropriate for children under 8. -Charles Solomon.

Review Maison Ikkoku - Vol. 22: Wish Upon a Fall / Viz Video:For Manager Kyoko, having one invalid to care for was tough enough. With Mitaka's oh-so-convenient admission into the same hospital as Godai, how completely will she lose her patience with her two arguing patients?

Review Vol. 1-6 Box Set / Pioneer Video:More spirits live in Saito High School than in Harry Potter's Hogwarts, including the Giant Who Dances in the Gym, anatomical model Haruo and his skeleton Bones, the dashing Scarlet Mantle, sexy Miss Hanako, the Girl in the Mirror, an animated statue-and the head of the school. The members of the "Holy Student Council" are charged with keeping them in line and fending off hostile entities. Council President Haruto Hokujo says he wants to lead a normal life but finds himself in the thick of every crisis. When he's not being possessed by some wandering spirit, Kazumi Ryudo lusts after Miss Hanako. Asahina Mutsumi handles exorcisms while suffering from "Shouta Complex"-the female equivalent of the "Lolita Complex" that afflicts so many males in anime and manga: she lusts after pubescent boys. This running gag doesn't play well in America, where suggestions of child molestation aren't considered funny. The situations in this 12-part, no-holds-barred comedy invariably degenerate into slapstick disasters. When the ghost of a lovely girl tries to take possession of Kazumi so she can spend the night with her musician-lover, he imagines a homosexual encounter; she wants to hear the song he wrote for her. A disgruntled former student steals 1,000 statues, hoping to absorb their mental powers-but is sidetracked by Kazumi's girlie magazine. Although Haruto ends each episode sighing, "Oh my God!" the characters actually enjoy their unconventional lives. [+]
Rated 13 and up for profanity, nudity, sexual humor, toilet humor, and violence. Only available in original Japanese language with English subtitles. -Charles Solomon This school has spirit! Three students of Saito High, the members of the "Holy Student Council," must use their special abilities to take control of the spirits that inhabit the school grounds. Then, they must work with their newfound otherworldly allies to put a stop to local supernatural disturbances - often with disastrously funny results. Featuring character designs by Ranma 1/2's Atsuko Nakajima. All twelve episodes available in a subtitled Collector's Box Set.

Review Magic Users Club - I Wanna Do More / Anime Works:The broadcast series of Magic User's Club picks up where the OVA left off in 1997, with Takeo, Aburatsubo, Sae, and Nanaka causing new trouble. The space bell has been transformed into a giant cherry tree, so the club members cope with fairly mundane problems, rather than alien mecha attacks. In "Sae, the Bathroom, and the Door," a teleportation spell goes haywire, causing doors to lead to unexpected places-Takeo's refrigerator opens into Sae's bathroom, while Nanaka's closet connects to Aburatsubo's attic. But most of the humor quickly falls into formulae: people overhear lines that suggest Aburatsubo is seducing Takeo, but the reality is relatively innocent. Takeo goes into spasms of lust at the sight of the manga club president's redoubtable bustline (or the thought of a girl); Sae stumbles and bumbles along, but comes out on top. (Rated 13 and older: violence, nudity, risqué humor) -Charles Solomon The aliens have been defeated, and the Bell has been transformed into a gigantic cherry tree. Now, the brave Magic User's Club must reconvene to deal with a new problem. Sae, Nanaka, Takeo and Aburatsubo are all on the case. Akane would be with them, of course, but she has a date. And, what is the problem our intrepid Magic Club must solve? Well, apparently some inconsiderate persons left a skyscraper sized cherry tree in the middle of Tokyo, and it's become a major inconvenience to everyone in the city. [+]
Even though they have no idea who could have done such a thing, the Club feels strangely responsible and spring into action!.
