Thanks to Mangafanatic for this review. A full review of the licensed domestic version will follow on that version's (presumed) release.

Please use the reviews link above to find the review until we have sorted out the site's URL.

It should be noted that this title now HAS been licensed by ADV between the time of the writting of the review and its approval.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Depending on what Gypsy and I work out, the review might be temporarily pulled down until its evaluation once the licensed version comes out. I'll have to talk to her about that upon her return. We really haven't hashed that side of the equation out yet. For now, it will stay in place, since there's no licensed version yet to review.

Link, hmm, I don't think Shooby posts them in his approval threads.

I hadn't been posting them previously because of the broken domain name issue. They will appear in future threads now that the problem has been resolved.
