Geekatana Anime Review: Pumpkin Scissors

Pumpkin Scissor is an anime that despite the name has nothing to do with pumpkin and scissors. It's an anime produced by Gonzo that aired back in 2006. If you had Animax around that year you might have the off chance of seeing this being aired as I did.  This anime probably went under the radar for a lot of people since 2006 was also the year Black Lagoon, Code Geass, Gintama and Haruhi was also released.

This was one of those anime that had potential but due to one reason or another never got the recognition or goal it set out to achieve. For the purpose of this review I'll probably touch on a few spoiler territory for this review. But hopefully not too much.

Geekatana Anime Review: Solty Rei

I first watched Solty Rei on Animax back in 2007. It's one of those anime that I know very little about back then and it was simply something that was on the channel at that time. I was already hooked on anime since a college friend of mine introduced me to Evangelion so I sort of soak any anime I came across.

Although more story driven the concept of Solty Rei was not new by anime standards. The cyperpunk post apocalypse noir was an overused theme by the early 2000's and it weighed on the series greatly resulting in a dull reception. Most folks dropped the series before giving it much chance. Which I find sad since this series had so much potential.
