Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (Hakuoki Season One)

Adventure Time

Adventure Time (AT) is one of the greatest animated shows produced in the past decade and if you're not watching it yet, you're missing out. The show in its simplest form is the adventures of Jake the Dog and Finn the Human as they travel the world of...

My Little Pony
Best Friends Forever
Before you ultimately dismiss this review as childhood idiocy for adults who haven't got their nostalgia together or kids who just like fast-moving brightly coloured things, I have to tell you that My Little Pony (MLP) is one of the...

American Horror Story
Season 1
Horror TV shows may never usually receive the same overwhelming response or studio treatment as others, but recently the genre has begun to show its true colours with some high-end productions that shy away from the standard fare of entertainment and...
