Manga Review: Kanakuri Odette – Volume 1
Often when reviewing anime and especially manga, the intended audience for the title is clear as day once you start reading, even if you did not know its origin. Sometimes, like School Rumble (a shonen title), that line can be blurred. Kanakuri Odette is one of those exceptions, but on the other end of the spectrum. Kanakuri Odette is a sci-fi shōjo comedy manga about an high-school aged female android, Odette Yoshizawa, who wants to become as close to human as possible. This includes going so far as to limit her functions to that of a typical human.

ComicsOnline Turns Nine
Hello again and welcome to the first day of ComicsOnline’s 10th year.
It was almost ten years ago that Comic City owner George Thrush first approached me to recreate his website, and what you see here is the third version since. We’ve gone through 3 owners, from George, to Karl, to me, and we’ve grown considerably since September 25th, 2000. We started the site using a content management system (dynamic website) software called PHPNuke, and while it was cutting edge at the time, it was full of security holes and we were hacked several times, causing the gaps in content you see when you look at the old site. Finally last year due to our old web host suddenly upgrading his software, we were forced to upgrade or die, and now we’re using a much more advanced and secure CMS software called Drupal.

The first time I was introduced to the Evil Dead series of movies was when I was ten years old. I was visiting my friend Tony and he wanted to watch some movie called Army of Darkness, which to me, being ten, sounded amazing.

Now this cult classic from Director Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) just got even better as Army of Darkness: Screwhead Edition is now available for the first time ever in high definition on Blu-ray!
