rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - I wasn't sure what to expect when I rented Akira so long ago, but thank goodness I went for the subtitled version.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - I wanted to see it, true, but I wasn't expecting much at all. Another souless love story that covers itself up with an impressive cast and nice set pieces.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - Ah... we are now entering perhaps the most tedious arc in DragonBall Z. The never-ending battle with Freezer/Frieza.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - Who was expecting anything out of this movie, raise your hand?

Okay, now those of you who raised your hands, go home and stick your head in a tub filled with ketchup. You deserved to be punished.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - What do I think about this game?

Sat, 4 Aug 2001 21:21:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - Hello everyone, refer to the title. If you are looking into playing this game, um, where were YOU. The thing was released four years ago! The only way I can persuade your opinion is perhaps through my undying love.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author izzygirl - Hmmm... *taps finger on keyboard* What to write about this game...

Well... first off, it's better than VIII. The story isn't heavy-handed with that feeling that it's trying to be important, and the characters are light-hearted, reachable souls...
