JoJo\'s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Episodes 1-39 Streaming

Could Diamond is Unbreakable be the best Jojo\'s saga yet? Nick Creamer has the answers. ― JoJo\'s Bizarre Adventure has certainly gone places.

Answerman - Are Anime Sequels Ever Made Just For The West?

If an anime is really popular in the west, but doesn\'t do so well in Japan, do they ever make a sequel anyway? It turns out they do - Justin runs it down. ― James asks: On occasion, there are series that are more popular in countries outside of Japan then they are within Japan itself, with some notable examples being The Big O, Outlaw Star, and Cowboy Bebop. In such instances, do the Japanese produc...

Sanrio\'s hit rhythm game adventure comes to life in anime form through the colorful music of Plasmagica and friends, but is this show worth watching on its own merits? Rebecca Silverman finds out. ― Show by Rock has the kind of pedigree that might make you worry.

This yuri romance starts off in ways just different enough from the genre norm to be intriguing. Rebecca Silverman explains why. ― Asexuality is perhaps one of the least represented sexual orientations in fiction, and a yuri series is certainly one of the last places you might expect to find it.
