Doctor Who Anime
It’s not the first time Doctor Who has been animated but it’s got a whole nother feel to it when it gets the anime treatment, complete with fanservice! The anime short by Paul Michael Johnson is set in Japan (naturally) and features shin...
Inuyasha: The Final Act – Simulcast
After abruptly ending 5 years ago, Inuyasha picks up right where it left off with one major difference it’s being simulcast on Hulu! If you’ve never seen it or just need a little refresher, Inuyasha is a half human, half demon from Feudal...
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies – Review
A giant kryptonite meteor is hurtling towards the Earth! This looks like a job for… Lex Luthor!? No it’s not a parallel Earth or even a dream. Luthor has won the presidency and being the megalomaniac that he is he decides that if he can...
Marvel Anime
It’s been a long time coming, anime has been influencing comics and cartoons for decades. And now Marvel is taking the plunge with 4 new anime style series: Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, & Blade. Marvel unveiled the first trailers for Wolveri...
Green Lantern: First Flight – Review
Grrr... I'm so mad you can see my eyes, my sexy blue eyes. Green Lantern’s light isn’t shining as nearly bright as it used to in this new take on a classic origin. It’s bad enough that they cut out the death of Hal Jordan’...
Honor Among Thieves
Whenever I need to find old/rare anime (unlicensed of course) I head over to Boxtorrents.com, but last weekend I was shocked to find the website was gone! Not just down for maintenance but completely vanished with only a placeholder declaring the d...
Billy West on Past, Present, & Futurama
Voice acting legend Billy West appeared on Fox News’ Red Eye this week to promote Comedy Central’s purchasing 26 NEW episodes of Futurama (must-see video below). Besides showing off his incredible talent (including a spot-on impression of...
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Says Goodbye Forever
Last weekend’s “special” live action finale of Aqua Teen Hunger Force revealed that our anti-heroes are in fact characters in a story by Don Shake, a talentless writer played by H. Jon Benjamin. Desperate to finish & sell his st...
Sit Down, Shut Up
When I first heard Josh Weinstein & Bill Oakley, the creators of Mission Hill, were teaming up again to do Sit Down, Shut Up I thought it would be a similarly off-beat comedy (i.e., good). But after watching last night’s pilot episode, I fe...
Queen’s Blade
There’s no pussyfooting around it, Queen’s Blade is about one thing and one thing only: FANSERVICE. It’s based on a gamebook, you know those Choose Your Own Adventure books where you pick from a list of choices and turn to the corre...
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
The only thing worse the a prequel is a remake. And while I hope Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the exception, it ain’t looking good. Episode 1 reminds me of one of those compilation movies that splices together episodes (think Turn A Gund...
Tales of the Black Freighter - Review
One of many things absent from the recent movie adaptation of Watchmen was the fictional comic Tales of the Black Freighter. This story within a story mirrored events (as they happened) in Watchmen so a standalone direct-to-DVD movie kinda defeats th...
Luck of the Irish
For the first time ever The Simpsons is premiering outside of America with a special Saint Patrick’s Day episode called In The Name Of The Grandfather. Those lucky Irish (and those of us with the internet) can watch it today, while everyone els...
Wonder Woman - Review
