		<description><![CDATA[Did someone bring their DV camera to the cosplay convention?  That&#8217;s the impression left by Azumi, the shot on video adaptation of the manga by Yu Koyama.  All the usual suspects are here &#8211; brightly colored (and very clean) costumes, lots of wire work, lots of green screen, garish shot selection, and a poor transfer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I find a show as good as Monster, I sometimes wonder if I&#8217;m dreaming.  Is it really possible that a show this good hasn&#8217;t already been completely rejiggered and screwed up by some big American studio?  Well, one look at Wikipedia shows me that I&#8217;m not far off base as New Line has optioned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  The Death Note live action movie and the anime series were both released in the same year.  Both were based on the manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata and I feel that one got it right and the other got it terribly wrong.  The film (part one of two) is simply missing everything [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard a lot of good things about The Twilight Samurai over the years, but sometimes hearing too many good things about a movie can make me avoid it.  If my expectations are raised too high, I can often be disappointed even when a feature is pretty good.  That&#8217;s why my first experience with writer-director [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bleach has been a very successful TV series in Japan, breaking out of its shonen mold to appeal to a much wider audience.  So wide, in fact, that the series has spawned several feature films.  Diamond Dust Rebellion (DDR), the second of these features, is better than the first, but the creators still don&#8217;t seem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mamoru Hosoda&#8217;s Summer Wars is an animated feature film that bridges the fairly wide gap between Miyazaki&#8217;s brand of sentimentality and William Gibson&#8217;s cyber warfare.  The  result of that odd pairing is a family film that is visually inventive and surprisingly satisfying. The story revolves around Kenji Koiso, a high schooler who works part time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hirokazu Koreeda wowed me with his 2008 film, Still Walking, so I decided to check out some of his other work.  First up is Hana, the film Koreeda made prior to Still Walking, and in it I see very little of what made Still Walking such a masterpiece.  That&#8217;s both good and bad.  I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first feature film from director Masahiro Ando, Sword of the Stranger, gets a lot of things right.  Unfortunately, originality isn&#8217;t one of those things, but this is still a beautifully rendered animated film with a lot going for it. The story is fairly simple.  A Japanese boy named Kotaro is fleeing a group of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With a title like Geisha Assassin (or Geisha Vs. Ninjas,the original title), expectations are certainly lowered from the get-go, but I had a glimmer of hope that this movie would at the very least be fun to watch; a guilty pleasure, if you will.  Well, if you find much pleasure here, you should certainly feel [...]]]></description>
