This month’s episode is another ReView! What is a “ReView”
episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really)
title for episodes where I go back and watch 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.
Halloween is just around the corner, and that means lots of media
that feature vampires, ghosts, and....mermaids??? How’s that
for a unique Halloween viewing choice? This month, I revisit the
1993 OAV Mermaid’s Scar.

Discotek release--it’s actually a Sentai release. Sorry for any
confusion!
