		<description><![CDATA[Eden of the East currently consists of three properties: an 11 episode TV series and two feature films.  I&#8217;m lumping them all together here in this review since all of them run together in a continuous story line.  The only problem with that is how to remain spoiler-free and still tell you what you might [...]]]></description>

		<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[Did you ever wish you could un-see something?  That&#8217;s how I feel about this nasty little exploitation film.  The first in a trilogy of movies about Edo-era police officer Razor Hanzo, this movie appears to have been made for the sole purpose of making star Shintaro Katsu (of Zatoichi fame) appear to have an enormous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a hard time finding out exactly what Masamune Shirow&#8217;s role was in producing this 22-episode series, but I can tell you that his trademark themes are all over it.  Whereas Ghost in the Shell was about the soul of the machine and Appleseed was about the soul of society, Ghost Hound is about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Chinese Jade is the first of twelve films in the Nemuri Kyoshiro series, known in the states as Sleepy Eyes of Death (SEOD).  Since Nemuri Kyoshiro is the main character, it makes sense that the series would be titled after him, much like the Zatoichi series, but American distributors must have thought the character&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to begin my review of The Sword of Doom (TSOD) with something that will seem like a spoiler.  Maybe it is, but I think you&#8217;ll enjoy the picture more if you know this up front.  TSOD was never intended to be a standalone film.  It was meant to be the first in a [...]]]></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[I don&#8217;t know how fairly I can evaluate the 26-episode Daimajin Kanon TV series.  Not only am I a huge fan of the original Daimajin films, but the DVD copy I got had some of the worst subtitles I&#8217;ve ever seen.  Clearly subbed by the Chinese, the first third of the series was mostly coherent, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You have to wonder if some of the Japanese stars of the 60s and 70s ever took a day off.  Take, for example, Tomisaburo Wakayama.  Best known in the west as the babycart pushing ronin in Samurai Assassin and the Lone Wolf &#38; Cub series, he acted in over 250 titles between 1955 and 1992!

		<description><![CDATA[Not to be confused with 1963&#8242;s Zatoichi the Fugitive, 1968&#8242;s Zatoichi AND the Fugitives was the penultimate Z film of the 60&#8242;s, and it features some of the most evil bad guys we&#8217;ve ever seen our hero go up against. Now that I&#8217;ve seen 18 of these movies, the one big question that comes to [...]]]></description>
