As of right now I cannot commit to writing the individual synopsis of the anime that I watch anymore. I have neither time nor patience. I will still review after every season and series, but not today. I will also consolidate my blog later. I plan, with the sending of the episode paraphrasing to the moon, to open up the blog to encompass non animated movies and TV series. As of right now though, consider me on holiday from this blog.

The Lorax
Brohoof’s: 8.7/10 Content Rating: Filly
A common trend in Hollywood seems to turn books into movies, with more notable titles and authors usually comes a bigger price tag for production. So it was no surprise that Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax got a massive budget. The original story was a good one, with deep roots in nature conservation. The producers did their best to mirror the vibrant imagery that Theodore Geisel was able to produce. Filled with humor and a good moral, this is a
In summary there will be no official Weekend Wrap Up this week due to the fact that my other priorities had superseded those of the blog. (I didn’t watch enough anime to make a wrap up). Sorry for the inconvenience. Regular anime viewing will continue next week so stay tuned. Also tonight a special feature will be reviewed, if I get around to actually typing it.
Junk Boy
Brohoof's: 6/10 Content Rating: Mature (Nudity, Thematic Content)
A selection from Manga Ent. Junk boy was rather disappointing. Granted, manga hasn't been know to only sponsor great animation. But still, I had higher expectations for the title. The plot is very small, the story taking place over two days. The directors were probably aiming for the vast amounts of adult content riddled within. However, there was some character growth, and the voice acting was acceptable. Art st
Monsters Inc.
Brohoof's: 9/10 Content Rating: Filly
The Disney film is famous for having all of the elements of a good story. The trouble, they aren't always entertaining. So naturally, this review will be rather easy. Starting off with introducing funny, likable characters, and a setting that is unusual but still pleasing, the movie entices the viewer to observe how this other group lives. As the story moves, it reveals some of the socail norms of the culture, and begins an adventure.

As you may know, I do have a little free time to myself. With this free time I often watch anime, various movies, and other junk. I used to critique movies for the Nexflix service, and some old habits die hard. These small tidbits are not in-depth, nor solid, so comments will be encouraged. As for my first task, Rurouni Kenshin and it's many titles are my target. So grab the popcorn, cause the series is a good one!
