• Sexy anime exercises – a bit too much?

  Cool Tech
  

  TweetI don’t mind admitting that I like my anime. I don’t mind admitting that I like my tech. I like my Google Android. I also don’t mind admitting that I should do some more exercise and loose a bit of weight. I think, though, you can take this too far by merging all three of [...]

• Summer time lapse of a life-sized Gundam

  Anime
  

  TweetAnime heroes tend to come and go. Sure, the likes of Bleach, Dragonball Z or even Pokemon have been around for years – but compare that to Batman or Superman. Compare those to the likes of the Phantom or the Shadow. I’m no expert but my gut feeling is that Gundam is one of the [...]

• Enough footage of Another Century’s Episode: R that you can review the game yourself

  Console
  

  TweetAnother Century’s Episode: R is an mecha game that evokes pretty much every single anime archetype. Perhaps it’s the same sense of thoroughness that perusaded the game makes to be so inclusive that also perusaded them to release so much in-game footage. The following two YouTube videos probably contain enough of Another Century’s Episode: R [...]

• Wu Xing review – a ninja RPG

  Tabletop RPGs
  

  TweetOne of the last tabletop RPGs I got to play in was White Wolf’s Exalted. I had fun; enjoying the anime influence, a fantasy world that wasn’t derivative of Lord of the Rings and the cinematic martial arts. However, the game wasn’t without its challenges.

  Movies
  

  TweetI’ve still not seen the Gantz anime. There always seems something else to buy. I suspect I’ll have to see it before the Gantz movie hits the shores of Scotland – er, um, if it ever makes it this far! So far, on the forums, most of the debate seems to be whether the actress [...]

  Movies
  

  TweetI just can’t wait until The Last Airbender makes it over here from the States to the UK (I wonder how long it would take Appa to fly that distance?) There are a few new TV slots for the movie airing on US TV in the next little while. The most recent of which has [...]

• Looking sharp – Naruto Shippuuden: Ulimated Ninja Storm 2

  Console
  

  TweetOkay; so I’m following Naruto by the DVD release schedule here in the UK. Don’t mock me! It means the next disc is the start of Naruto Shippuuden. It’s late. I know the cheeky scamp gets a new costume. Or an old costume with black patches sewn on it. Whereas I worry about spoilers – [...]

• Yen Plus retires print magazine, announces refunds and goes online

  Comics
  

  TweetThe end has come for Yen Press‘ magazine Yen Plus. Well; one end, a type of end anyway as the publisher is (wisely, perhaps) putting a stop to the print magazine in favour of an online only model. Yen Plus is two years old and has had some success. It was the vehicle by which [...]
