Azure Flame Reloaded

In a world of spaceships, Galactic Guardians and Lost Technology, Millie Nocturne is a woman with one goal- to become number one in the universe at everything she tries. In the midst of her adventures, however, she runs into two other talented people; psi-blade wielding swordsman and mercenary Kane Blueriver, and Canal, the AI of his ship, the Swordbreaker. Between them, Kane, Millie and Canal make a surprisingly good- if hot-headed- team, but will the three of them be enough to take on the might of the criminal organisation known only as Nightmare?

Kawahira Keita isn’t your average high school student- he also happens to be an inukami tsukai, skilled in offensive spells and contracted with the inukami Youko, a supernatural dog-girl with more than few special abilities of her own. And unsurprisingly, the life of an inukami tsukai is anything but peaceful- for when Keita isn’t dealing with job requests, family members and their various inukami, he can’t even relax and enjoy the healthy pursuits of a red blooded male without invoking Youko’s wrath…

In the far flung reaches of space exists Watcher’s Nest, a space station built around the mysterious Quantum Core. The site of many dark and dangerous secrets and first line of defence against the alien Ghouls, Watcher’s Nest is under the command of Lieutenant Ertiana, but with her impending transfer, four new cadets have been summoned to start training as potential replacements.

Misaki Kureha is one of those four, and as a mere reserve, it seems as if she is destined to quickly fall behind the others. But even as Misaki questions her selection, it becomes apparent that she may well possess hidden talents of her own- talents that inextricably connect her to the mysteries at the heart of Watcher’s Nest… Continue Reading »

Those who recall my Stratos 4 TV review will know that I was none too impressed by the series; aside from the presence of fat cat the Admiral, I had few positive things to say to it. Nonetheless, with the spectre of completion looming over me, I decided that I may as well try my luck at the continuation of the series- ten episodes released across three OVAs.
