Wizards vs Science: A review of a Certain Magical Index
I knew the light novel series A Certain Magical Index is very popular and so I was quite interested to see what the anime has to offer. It’s a wise choice from the still new but experienced Animatsu team who are responsible for buying the license and bringing the title to the UK. The series […]
Twilight Zone meets Farscape: A review of Metal Hurlant Resurgence
Metal Hurlant began life way back in France in 1974. It’s older than me. I believe the literal translation is Howling Metal but when geeks I know in the UK talk about the series they often call it Heavy Metal. Skip forward a few decades and a live action TV series is announced. Metal Hurlant […]

Netflix has given November 20th as the global release date for Jessica Jones. The answer to “When can I watch Jessica Jones in the UK?” is the same for the US and Netflix’s other regions. All episodes will come at once and in Ultra HD 4K. If Daredevil felt like a crime thriller first and […]
Too much of a good thing? A review of Samurai Bride
On paper, Samurai Bride looks like it’ll shape up nicely. It’s set in a haunted fantasy of a samurai setting and promises a mix of comedy and action. On the subject of “shaping up nicely” there’s also plenty of fan action as the shapely girls of the samurai team set up their own Maid Café […]
