Main Topic:

With the annoucement of ADV picking up Devil May Cry and Xenosaga in anime form, we got to thinking about some anime that we’d like to see made from video games. We have a pretty nice list and we’d like to share it with you and why video games to anime might be a lot better then video games to feature films.

Releases:

Anime:

Rumbling Hearts(Box)
.hack//ROOTS(Vol. 3)

Manga:

Fruits Basket(Vol. 17/Final)
Bleach(Vol. 20)

Review:

Gene took a look at Grenider. This kind of ‘Trigun with boobs’, has a little more then meets the eye… little more. While this series has stunning visuals and awesome fights, there was a mostly transparent plot with nothing that stands out from characters or the message. Enjoy this fun little series if you’re short on the green or need a good rental.
