January 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s no shortage of Pretty Cure movies. Wikipedia counts 9 TV to movie creations and 4 All Star movies. Not bad for the Toei Animation which first aired in 2004.

Berserk: Golden Age 1 – Egg of the Supreme King trailer

August 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I watched my Berserk back during YouTube’s lawless age. I think I got to the end but that they simply stopped the animation. As I recall, after much angst, drama and carefully paced tension – it all went pear shaped, with monsters, tentacles, character deaths and all sorts. It was a sudden turn but it […]

Dragon Age anime trailer

July 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Funimation are planning an anime based on the Dragon Age RPG. We’re looking at 2012 for a release; interesting timing as it seems unlikely Dragon Age 3 will be there, but perhaps there will be fresh DLC and pen and paper publisher Green Ronin will certainly be able to step up to the mark. We […]

The Legend of Korra trailer

July 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

July 14, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

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

July 10, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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. […]
