Darkshaunz finds the meaning to “Death Metal”

Score: 9.0/10

It must be something I said. Prior to this episode, I almost had the feeling Shinsen Subs ditched this project altogether. Fortunately, they seem to have gotten back on track with Tokyo Majin, and I’m very pleased to see it on a weekly release once again. This week saw some heavy focus on Aoi, and the emphasis that she isn’t the typical “Princess” type, more random zombie encounters (Got Final Fantasy?), and enough GAR to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Join me as we slay demons and admire Sakurai’s fine behind.

Darkshaunz goes back in Time

Score: 8.9/10

I was beginning to wonder when Shinsen was going to take a breather on their other 5,682 projects and finally sub Tokyo Majin, I was refreshed when Danny and Retsgip sent a reminder-mail-bomb to my residence to wake me up (I love you guys too). As one would expect from this season’s zombie basher, its full of visceral sometimes pointless fighting, evil spirits out to eat our firstborns, spooky abandoned schools and people going absolutely bananas for Aoi. Its also a very fortunate thing that the animation quality has sustained itself thus far, and here’s to hoping it continues. So come in, have some coke and let’s get crackin’ on some zombie skulls.

Darkshaunz calls Raccoon City Police Department

Score: 9.2/10

Rets and our friend Danny managed to watch the raw of Tokyo Majin, and apparently it was so good that they demanded my immediate download of said anime. Fearing their cruel threats to unbox all my evangelion figurines (think of the children!) from their original packaging, I folded and finally downloaded it. To my immense pleasure and entertainment, it was definitely worth the small hit to my measly download cap. Maintaining a fine-tuned balance of zombie-smashing, ninja-taoist seals, hot fighting babes, a hot starting babe in distress and guys with enough GAR to destroy the universe, Tokyo Majin is looking like it will to take back the throne of Bel-Air.
