KNN: Hanabee Goes On A Fishing Trip With The Latest Announcement From Supanova Perth 2013

Posted by Retrokaiser On Saturday, June 29, 2013 0 comments

Another Supanova Expo, another awesome anime announcement from Hanabee, another episode of Kaiser News Network.  Hi, James Kaiser here and this is KNN.  Hanabee has announced that they will be releasing the fishing anime "Tsuritama".  From the director of "C for Control" (Kaiser's review can be found here: http://www.mondocoolcast.com/2012/12/dvd-review-c-control-2011.html) and from the animation company "A-1 Pictures" that brought us anime like " Fractale" (Kaiser's review of Fractale can be found here: http://www.mondocoolcast.com/2013/04/dvd-review-fractale-2011.html) comes the anime that's all about a boy living the dream of wanting to be a fisherman.  That sounds like a fairly simple concept and I really am looking forward to watching this one as sometimes the most simplest of shows can be the best kind of shows.  Yeah, yeah there is more to it I know and you can read what the show is about in much better detail after the jump.  The series is set to be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on September 4th 2013.  You can expect a review of the show sometime after it's release right here on Mondo Cool.  I'm James Kaiser and that was KNN.  (Click "Read More" for a much more detailed description of the show).

Pay Per View Review: WWE Payback 2013 (2013)

Posted by Retrokaiser On Friday, June 28, 2013 1 comments

Hey ho, James T. Kaiser here trying something new.  As you all know I'm a huge fan of wrestling and have been since an early age.  Now this article isn't going to be a life story so I'll skip to the part where I talk about the new monthly (or bi-monthly depending on the month) column about me reviewing wrestling pay per views that I spent my hard earned money on.  Instead of using my typical methods of reviewing products I will be talking about each match with detail which you will see by clicking "Read More".  But for now I'm just going to blabber on a little bit about useless knowledge so if you don't want to read that I suggest you skip ahead to the review right now. 

Anyway this whole idea of reviewing pay per views started when I simply decided to order at least one pay per view a month and figured I might get a bit more out of my money if I sat down and reviewed them.  Now the reason why it'll be mainly one a month is because the wrestling company I mainly watch, WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) always has a monthly pay per view but on some occasions you may see two a month as TNA (Total Non-stop Action) has a pay per view every three months and some months you might not see a review at all for some reason or another.  One last thing I want to say in this boring part of the article is that for the first time in ages I busted out my VCR.  Nope you aren't going blind as you did indeed see the magical letters of "V", "C", and "R" all together to form VCR.  Now why on Earth did I need to do that when I could just simply record this with a DVR or DVD Recorder?  Well for some odd reason those things get blocked out by the channels copy protection and oddly enough the VCR can get past it with ease.  Am I promoting piracy?  Nope... At least I hope what I'm doing isn't considered piracy?  It'll sure as all hell make it more difficult to review if I didn't tape it that's for sure.  What if I had to run to the shops and miss a match or two?  That's when taping it comes in handy as I can just re-watch those parts I missed.  A good thing I did tape this as there was a point during the pay per view where I was busy for a few matches so thank goodness for old technology.  Anyway I have rambled enough so let's get into what went on during WWE Payback 2013.

KNN (Kaiser's News Network): Hannabee Anounces Some Kick Butt Releases from Supernova Sydney 2013.

Posted by Retrokaiser On Sunday, June 23, 2013 0 comments

Tonight on KNN we hear about some very kick ass announcements from Hanabee that took place at the Supernova Expo, Sydney 2013.  I'm James Kaiser and this is KNN.  The first of these announcements is probably one of the biggest anime releases of the year with Hanabee announcing that they will be releasing the classic "Revolutionary Girl Utena" in three volumes and will be hitting the stores on, September 18 2013 (volume one), October 16 2013 (volume two), and November 20 2013 (volume three).  All three volumes will come in a very nice looking box and will come with books that will have some very nice content in them.  Moving on to the second announcement where we have a comedy series called "Daily Lives of High School Boys" that is from the same director that brought us shows like, School Rumble, and Gintama.  This release is set to hit shelves on July 31 2013 (that's not far away) and it will include all twelve episodes and a bonus OVA for your pleasure.  The last release that Hanabee announced is another big one that also celebrates this series 40th anniversary.  The show I'm on about is "Lupin the Third: A Woman Called Fujiko Mine" and will be released in two volumes with volume one hitting shelves October 16 2013, and volume two will be released November 20 2013.   There will also be a limited edition combo hardcover book that's sure to please you guys.  That's it for this edition of KNN and for more info on the products you can go to the Hanabee site at www.hanabee.com.au, and you can also click "Read More" to read on what these shows.  Anyway, I'm James Kaiser and thank you for tuning into KNN.  (Info on shows after the jump).

DVD Review: Eagleheart Season 1 (2011)

Posted by Retrokaiser On Friday, June 21, 2013 0 comments

Eagleheart is a comedy cop show about a marshal named Chris Monsanto (played by Chris Elliott) that gets assigned two new partners named Susie Wagner who the a strong, smart, levelheaded one of the group (played by Maria Thayer), and Brett Mobley, the dumb one that everybody uses (played by Brett Gelmaan) after his last partner tragically died on a mission by jumping into an airplane propeller from trying to do a leap frog kick.  Wanting to avenge the death of his former partner he goes to kill the mob boss that he was after on that mission but he just can't do it as the mob boss he wanted to kill has suffered brain damage from an explosion and now has the mind of a four year old child.  Chris feels bad so he helps him rehabilitate so he can kill him when his brain damage has healed.  This is just one example of how crazy this show can get with insanity that will make you go "well that doesn't make sense" and "this is batshit insane" and that's the reason why this show is awesome.  Other crazy things that our heroes go through is, fighting sky crime, busting a cocaine dealing puppet maker, beating evil twins, finding out secrets about the Chinese that changes the way we think of the world, and much much more in these crazy nonsensical hard boiled action packed episodes of Eagleheart.

DVD Review: Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule Seasons 1 & 2 (2010 - 2012)

Posted by Retrokaiser On 1 comments

"A shark on whisky is mighty risky, a shark on beer is a beer engineer".  That was a poem by Space Ghost but anyway it's time to review Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule.  This show is a spin-off from "Tim & Eric's Awesome Show Great Job" and it is poking fun at public access TV and those cheesy documentary video tapes your teacher put on back in grade three (kids who didn't go to school during the 80s - 2003 wouldn't know what I'm on about).  Hosted by a crazy doctor named Steve Brule (played by John C. Reiley) covering very strong topics such as health, sex, family, and even death.  Every episode you will see him quote poems (like what I did at the start of the review) and film on location at places like, the zoo, the local puppet theatre, casinos, and the local gay bar.  Dr. Brule also has special guests on every episode that includes Steve's family members like his dear old mother that always tells disturbing things about Steve's past,  the channel 5 married news team Jan and Wayne Skylar (played by Tim and Eric) with Steve constantly trying to pick up Jan, and other doctors that never seem to get on with Steve as he is always jealous of them.  The show always ends with Steve doing a recap and telling the audience what he learned from the experiences he had during the show.  (Click "Read More" to see full review).
