Cleverly layered: A Knights of Sidonia anime review
The Knights of Sidonia is the first anime I’ve watched on Netflix. One of the reasons I wanted to watch it was to encourage Netflix to buy in more – and they did do the heavy lifting on this one. The other reason was that the Knights of Sidonia looked like an interesting but relatively […]
Knights of Sidonia trailers ahead of Netflix launch
On the 4th of July Netflix will launch Tsutomu Nihei’s Knights of Sidonia. It’s very good to see Netflix getting deeper into anime. The on demand stream gets the series “firstly and exclusively” in Japanese audio with English subs and with local language dubbing. This is a sci-fi set after mankind has fled Earth to […]

It doesn’t usually happen that way around any more but I think it speaks well of the show that they were able to earn attention […]

SyFy step up the sci-fi with Dominion
Rather than starting at the beginning so every one can catch up – SyFy have done the mature geek thing of launching a series that follows on from where the movie left off. The catch? I don’t think I ever got around to watching Paul Bettany in Scott Stewart’s Legion film even though it ticks […]
Help crowdfund Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop Season 3
[Back this Campaign] Geek & Sundry are after money to do a third season of their Tabletop Show. They’re after half a million. Wouldn’t you like half a million for your YouTube show? There’s a twist here. Geek & Sundry is funded by Google. Or rather, was. The Indiegogo is running because Wheaton and co […]
Short film: The OMEn Chronicles
The whole thing is shot in 4K, on almost no budget and over 2 days. How long did that take in total? Months thanks to the special effects. It’s set in the Potterverse in which the Officers of OMEn have to deal with a mysterious and rather unhelpful person as an evil force turns up […]
