This month’s episode is another short ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. This month, in part to honor the recent passing of Osamu Kobayashi, I’m revisiting the 1988 OVA Dragon’s Heaven. Color! Style! Giant plastic models?! Is it just as cool as I remember it? Let’s find out!
