Posted by Retrokaiser On Monday, June 30, 2014 0 comments

"The Cat Returns" is an animated drama film about a teen-aged girl named Haru. One day while she is walking home from school she spots a cat running around.  Haru thinks nothing of the cat at first until she spots the cat crossing the road and then she saves the cat after he is nearly ran over by a truck. Shortly after that heroic moment she witnesses something she never expected to see in a million years and that was that the cat spoke to her and gave her his thanks and that she'll be rewarded. Later that night she is surprised as she spots a whole group of cats walking on their back legs carrying lanterns and carrying a big grey cat named The King of the Cats (but we'll just call him King Cat). King Cat gives Haru his thanks as the cat she saved ended up being his son and for her bravery King Cat is going to give her some gifts. The next day Haru wakes up only to think that her encounter with King Cat was all a dream but while at school she starts to receive a lot of unusual gifts and remembers that it wasn't a dream after all. Later that day she is visited by King Cat's number one servant who then tells her about what the King's biggest gift of all is... To be married to the Cat Prince and be part of the Royal Cat Family.  Haru doesn't like that at all and she goes to find help to get herself out of her engagement. Will she succeed? Or will this be the end of her nine lives? (Click "Read More" to read the full review).

Posted by Retrokaiser On 0 comments

"Case Closed Season One" is an animated Comedy Drama Crime show about a guy in his late-teens named "Jimmy Kudo". Jimmy also happens to be a great athlete and detective and he has been hired by the police on many occasions to help them solve some tough crimes (mainly murder). One day he is invited to go to an amusement park with his childhood friend (and his crush) named "Rachel Moore" and he accepts as he believes that to be the best place to confess his love to her. While at the amusement park Jimmy and Rachel decide to go on the haunted house ride and get into a conversation with some people while waiting in line. While on the ride Jimmy notices something weird and when the ride ends we see that one of the people on the ride got their head sliced off (ouch). Jimmy gathers all the people who were on the ride so he can solve the case. Jimmy ends up solving the mystery and gets ready to head home but he notices some very suspicious looking people and he then starts to follow them. Jimmy witnesses a deal going on but the suspicious people spot him and then begin to poison Jimmy but instead of the poison killing him it instead turns him into a child. Now Jimmy is going under the name "Conan Edogawa" and is under the care of Rachel and her father "Richard Moore" and helps them out by solving crimes while he is trying to figure out how to turn himself back into his old self. Daaan da dun dun! Daaan da dun dun duuunnnnn!* (Click "Read More" to read the full review).

DVD Review: Transformers Animated Season Two (2008)

Posted by Retrokaiser On 0 comments

"Transformers Animated Season Two" is an animated action show and a modern day adaptation of "The Transformers".  Picking up right where season one left off (there are going to be spoilers here so if you haven't seen season one then don't read) where the Autobots fought very hard to stop the Decepticons from destroying the whole city of Detroit.  Sadly the All-Spark (a device that gives great power to machinery) has been smashed into little pieces that are scattered all over Detroit.  To make things worse we have Optimus Prime's superior (Ultra Magnus) turn up on Earth and he isn't too happy that the All-Spark is smashed and puts Optimus Prime on trial for treason.  Lucky for Optimus he isn't charged but the Autobots have something more dangerous to worry about as the Decepticons have kidnapped Sari's father in hope for him to make them a space bridge that will take the Decepticons back to Cybertron so that they can take over both Earth and Cybertron.  Even worse news is that with the news of Sari's father gone we have a guy named Porter C. Powell who is eligible to overrun Sari and take over her father's company and he does just that leaving Sari having to live with the Autobots.  The citizens of Detroit are also really starting to dislike Transformers in general as they do a lot of damage and they don't want the Autobots around.  It's madness I tell you!  (Click "Read More" to read the full review).

DVD Review: The Ren and Stimpy Show - The Complete Season One and Two (1991 - 1993)

Posted by Retrokaiser On Sunday, June 15, 2014 0 comments

"The Ren and Stimpy Show: Complete Season One and Two" is an animated comedy series about two room mates and their dysfunctional relationship. Ren Hoek (pronounced "Hoe-Ick" not "HOAK") is a little skinny Asthmatic Chihuahua and Stimpson "Stimpy" J. Cat is a big dumb lovable fat red house cat. Ren also has a bit of a short temper due to Stimpy annoying him with the dumb stuff he does and says and likes to smack some sense into him. Stimpy doesn't seem to mind as long as Ren is happy. When they aren't at home they are normally broke and homeless looking for shelter, going out trying to scam people for money and/or food, and some episodes consist of a mixture of all the above. Some adventures found in this collection includes: Ren and Stimpy trying to sell rubber nipples door to door, Ren and Stimpy teaming up for a tag-team wrestling match, Ren's cousin Sven coming over for a visit, Stimpy becoming famous and starring in kitty litter commercials, and Stimpy looking for his lost fart that he has grown attached to. It sounds nasty, it sounds gross, it sounds brilliant, and you can find out what I thought of it after the jump. (Click "Read More" to read the full review).
