I enjoyed the first book of the Avatar series and haven’t seen any more yet. Never got around to the movie simply due to being busy and all the negative reviews telling me it wasn’t worth the drama of trying to find some time for it. The show has clearly moved on. It looks like […]

Guilty Crown trailer
This Guilty Crown trailer is worth watching for two reasons. It looks cool. That’s the first reason. The second reason is that, unless something’s changed, YouTube’s automatic translations via subtitles are live. Click on the CC button to activate. After the outbreak of a virus called “Lost Christmas” that swept through Tokyo in 2029 the […]
Dangerous, freaky, sinister Pokemon
It’s amazing how fan activity around Pokemon is fairly strong. I guess they became a part of people’s lives for very many years, became part of geek culture and left their pokemark. I suspect these critters will leave their mark too. Massive bow to deviant artist Gavin Mackey who drew these – who re-imagined these. […]
Zavvi’s anime campaign produces dangerously naughty ad
I’ve a small treasure chest of anime shipping its way to me thanks to Zavvi’s sale/party for Manga’s 20th birthday. Now, because I’ve been on their site, their retargeting campaign has kicked in. They’re using Struq which is a pretty good set up but a combination of typos and awkward headlines have produced this. The […]
Noir live action TV series
Watch how I avoid making “Noir of the living dead” jokes as I reveal that Sam Raimi is involved in a Starz backed “Noir” live action. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are co-producers; this is the Xena: Warrior Princess team, they are the same people who brought us Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Gods of […]
Karigurashi no Arrietty / Arrietty review
Arrietty was the anime to feature in the Edinburgh International Film Festival before a general UK release in July. Without question; it’s a film to watch. The film is based on Mary Norton’s The Borrowers. I’ve not read the book. I’ve not seen the children’s TV series made by the BBC or even the 1997 […]
Blade – the daywalker’s anime trailer
Madhouse, Marvel and Animax have teamed up to put together an anime version of Blade. Is it about time? Did you know Blade first made a comic book appearance back in 1973 when he appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #10? Wikipedia could be tricking me for all I know; he feels a far younger […]
The Doctor Who anime
This is a fan made Doctor Who anime that shows that a quality, non-CBBC, Doctor animation could work. The vid is about 13 minutes long but it’s best thought of as an extended trailer that shows lots of the plot rather than an actual mini-clip. Our Doctor is the Third Doctor and we have daleks, […]
Karigurashi no Arrietty / The Borrowers Arrietty
Based on the classic book The Borrowers, Studio Ghibli‘s latest film is Karigurashi no Arrietty. The good news is that the anime will get shown at a number of UK locations before its general release. The Barbican gets the film on the 6th of July and on the 18th and 20th of June, as part […]

This needs to happen more often. Since the 19th of February iTunes users in the UK have been able to download Cyber Coil. This is an anime series from Anime World set in the near future where internet-linked eyeglasses aka “Cyber specs” allow the population to enjoy advanced augmented reality.
