Remember that movie Ultraviolet, with the ultra violence and the ultra Milla Jovovich, which was directed by Kurt Wimmer? Well, do you remember that it received an anime adaptation a year ago? Yes, it has been awhile since we last heard about this franchise, but it’s coming back out into the limelight, because during a press release Sony hinted that the anime will be “coming out in [the] US soon.” Ultraviolet: Code 044, I hear good things about this show, and I hear bad things. Most of it seems to be negative, but it also has lots of action, so it can’t be that bad. It also was directed by Osamu Dezaki, who also directed Ashita no Joe, Aim For The Ace!, and some Lupin III films. I’m curious, are any of you excited about this release?  [Via ANN]

So, I know I’m a bit behind on this one, but it snuck under my radar. Earlier this year there was a press release announcing the airing of an Ultraviolet anime based on the movie starring Milla Jovavich. I was skeptical at the time, since the Ultraviolet movie sucked pretty bad. I [...]

Oh, look, naked girl! Technically, I should not even do any review on this first episode since I did not finish it. You do know how some readers (like me when I go on other blogs) totally hate those high handed elitists who dismissed a show after one single episode. I have turned into them. I [...]

Opening Sequence: OP: “Guilty Pleasure” by BECCA I’m actually a little surprised that an English song is used for the opening theme as well as the ending theme. Though with dark themed anime series it usually goes well with it, for example Ergo Proxy.The OP sequence and the ED sequence aren’t anything too flashy nor does it [...]
